Our homes are a constant work in progress and renovating can often feel like an impossible task, especially when money is tight. But there are plenty of ways that you can cut costs when giving your home a much needed makeover.
Mum-of-two Claire Douglas has managed to save thousands on her interior design with her 'bespoke on a budget' motto. The 39-year-old has had an interest in interiors and property for almost two decades and enjoys finding cheaper and more sustainable ways to renovate her home.
Over the last two years Claire estimates she has saved more than £10,000 by buying second-hand items, upcycling and using DIY hacks and now wants to encourage others to do the same.
