It's amazing (and kind of fun!) to set a low or average budget and see the type of items you can get for one measly price. Most homeowners create budgets, whether they're building a new home, or simply redecorating a pre-existing one. If you're looking to make some small (yet BIG) changes in your apartment for under 150 ringgits, there are plenty of options that will give you flawless and an invigorating end result.

Check out the eight great options we've listed below—all of which can be found on homify!

1. Matching modern chairs

Since modern, high-quality chairs can be expensive, it's best to start your collection out small. Take your time and purchase one chair, or a set, at a time and slowly add to your investment furnishings—items which you will carry with you throughout the rest of your life.

2. Pendant lights

Sift through your local flea or antique markets for great mid century pendant lights, or purchase new from an affordable store to hang over kitchen breakfast bars or dining room tables.

3. Creative shelving

Shelving can easily be a DIY, customisable project and it can be cheap if you purchase plywood and paint the shelves yourself. With the only needed materials being wood, screws and anchors, it's easy to see why shelving is cheap and efficient.

4. Cosy bed linens and accessories

High-pile rugs, furry pillows and thick throws are perfect for a relaxing and romantic bedroom. Stick to all-white like seen here for a glamorous, yet effortless-chic look.

5. Creative wallpaper

Wallpaper isn't all florals and whimsical prints, you can even get wallpaper to fuel the modernist in you! Take a look at this geometric wallpaper that makes this Scandi-style workspace awesome!

6. A bold, new paint colour

A fresh new paint colour can completely change a home and an apartment. Consider bold colours in areas or rooms where your furnishings and decor are mostly neutral, as to add some balance. 

7. Cool graphic prints

Graphic prints come in various shapes and sizes and can fit all sorts of budgets! This is why students tend to lean towards graphic prints to decorate their studio and student apartments. Make sure to get high-quality graphic prints from local artists for the best deals, and to add a new artist to your books!

8. A cool rug

A cool rug can make or break the integrity of your  room and when matched with your style and interior decor it can pull everything together. Especially in fal and winter months, a rug is necessary for comfort, cosiness and warmth!
