Affordable DIY Home Renovation Ideas: Transforming a 115 Sq M Space with Simple White Walls, Hardwood Floors, and Elegant Black Walnut Furniture on a Tight Budget

I opted for a budget-friendly home renovation style after depleting my savings on a house and car purchase. With no funds for a professional designer, I took charge myself, daily researching interior design examples and adhering to the ‘light hard decoration, heavy soft decoration’ principle to minimize costs while maintaining quality.

The property has a construction area of 125 square meters and an interior area of 115 square meters, featuring a high usable rate thanks to a spacious balcony and removable bay windows.

Key elements include: entire house with wood flooring, white walls throughout without TV or sofa accent walls, partial edge ceiling in living and dining areas, and an open kitchen merged with the living room and balcony.

Interior design

For furnishings, I chose black walnut solid wood pieces that harmonize with the white walls and wood floors, creating a distinctive style.

The overall design is minimalist—white walls and wood floors—with soft decorations added progressively over time.

The open kitchen, which many have seen online, has remained largely unchanged over three years due to its compact size of about 5 square meters.

Ultimate Guide to Minimalist and Light Luxury Interior Design Styles for Large Homes Over 100 Square Meters

For large homes over 100 square meters, 50% of homeowners choose minimalist style, 30% prefer light luxury style, and the remaining 20% opt for simple European, European, or new Chinese styles. Minimalist style is often misunderstood as “cold” or “sterile,” but it actually includes warm and neutral color schemes. By incorporating warm-toned wood floors, furniture, and decorative elements, you can create a cozy,简约, and healing minimalist atmosphere that feels inviting.

Warm minimalist living room design

Achieving minimalist design requires attention to detail: 1. Unified color schemes with a main tone, typically using black, white, gray, or wood as the base. 2. Simplifying hard decorations by avoiding excessive elements and focusing on clean lines. 3. Emphasizing whole-house custom furniture, which enhances storage, adds层次感, and defines the aesthetic with sleek, floor-to-ceiling designs.

Custom minimalist cabinets and storage

Light luxury style builds on minimalism by incorporating premium materials like marble, metal, and high-quality finishes to create a sophisticated, high-end lifestyle. It focuses on subtle elegance rather than overt luxury, using clean lines and refined details to evoke a sense of quality and comfort.

This style can vary, including modern light luxury, French light luxury, and other interpretations, all requiring skilled design to balance simplicity with opulence. Custom furniture plays a crucial role here, using materials such as lacquered doors, stone countertops, and metallic accents to elevate the space.
