Do you tend to spend more than you need to? Is your dwelling wasting money, ruining your budget, and weighing heavily on your wallet? If any of these points ring true, it might be time to start lowering household costs. A great way to reduce wastage within the home is to cut back on certain unnecessary expenditures and outlays. Curtailing your spending will mean an increase in your disposable income, leaving more funds for pleasurable undertakings such as vacations, sports and recreation time with family and friends. Without doubt, reducing general household outgoings is a brilliant way to free-up your bank balance, and enhance your day-to-day life.

To begin cutting back on domestic spending we’ve got a money-saving tip for every room of your house or apartment! Get started today, check out our tips below, and reap the benefits…

1. The dining room

Saving money in the dining room means looking at what you eat, and how you can reduce costs. We tend to eat out at restaurants a lot, and in doing so, often spend far more money than we need to. Plan your meals, and instead of eating out, head to your local market and buy fresh, in-season produce to cook at home. 

2. The nursery

A baby's room or nursery is often one of the most expensive areas of the home to decorate and adorn. Try your hand at some DIY projects to decorate the space, and if possible, purchase second-hand furniture. After all, your baby will only be sleeping in that bassinet for around three months, so it's best to save your money for other items, such as storage space and toys, which offer far more longevity. 

3. The living room

As your living room is probably your most frequented space in the home, it is also the centre for energy expenditure. And within this room, lights commonly contribute to a large portion of the spending. Switch your light fittings for environmentally friendly LEDs and remember to turn them off when not in use. 

4. The bedroom

Instead of running the air-conditioner while you sleep at night, look at purchasing a simple fan, as well as some lightweight bedding that will help keep you warm during winter and cool during summer. The designers of this room have opted for a serene colour scheme, lightweight bedding, and heavy curtains to curtail any unpleasant nightly heat. 

5. The balcony or terrace

Having a balcony often means you want to keep the doors open all day and night to embrace your outdoor space. However, during the day, the hot air can often cause your air-conditioner to have to work twice as hard. Instead, keep your balcony doors closed, and leave them open in the evening when the air is cooler, as well as at night. 

6. The kitchen

Stop buying expensive, chemical-heavy cleaning products for your kitchen and start making some at home. Simple, easy and far better for your family and the environment, homemade soaps, sprays and room fresheners are perfect for saving a bit of extra money. 

7. The home office

Remembering to switch off electronics is crucial to ensuring you don't waste energy within your home office. Switch lights off when you leave, and if possible, unplug laptops, computers and electronic accessories. 

8. The bathroom or utility room

Within the bathroom, one of the best ways to save money is to employ water saving fittings. This helps the environment, as well as reducing your water bills. In the utility room, you might want to look at employing drying racks, rather than an electrical dryer appliance. Dryers use a huge amount of electricity, and are often unneeded for most items. 

9. The home entertainment space

One of the biggest costs in the home is powering electronic devices, and within a home theatre, entertainments space or bar, this can mean big spending. 

Install a power-saving device to all of your electrical appliances. This electrical addition means they are shut off when not in use, thus reducing electricity wastage, and in time, your power bills.
