Look in the basement there is probably a can of old color collecting dust somewhere, why not use it to refurbish an old table, chairs, doors and give them a facelift. If you are painting woodwork, you should first apply colorless lacquer than paint over the desired color.
2. Old fabric
You probably have some old fabric lying around that you forgot about and don’t use anymore. Throw them over the couch or make pillowcases from them, but make sure they work well with the rest of your home interior.
3. Photos that you forgot about

4. Rearrange
Sometimes the simplest thing to do is usually the best. Just rearrange your living space. Move one chair to a different place in the room, maybe you can take from another room and bring to another, or throw something out, that way you get more space and you won’t miss that old useless thing you didn’t even use.
