Using affordable materials is a great way to reduce the overall cost of execution of the interiors. However, one must never compromise on the quality of materials. Here are some great alternatives.

1. Laminate flooring
Laminate flooring is an inexpensive flooring material that replicates the look of wood. It is available in a variety of colors and patterns that resemble different types of wood (or stone). It comprises multiple layers of synthetic materials that are fused together through the process of lamination.

2. Porcelain flooring
Give a designer look to your home with porcelain tiles. This is a hard-wearing flooring option when one is working on a tight budget. Porcelain tiles have great qualities: they are durable, long-lasting and can handle high levels of foot traffic. Also, digital tiles that replicate the look of wood are widely available in the market.

3. Vinyl flooring
For easy installation and a cost-effective flooring option, go for vinyl plank flooring. This flooring is anti-slip and looks elegant. In this example, the vinyl flooring resembles real wood. Vinyl floors are very sturdy and easy to clean, so they work well for areas exposed to everyday wear and tear and dirt – and there are many varieties to choose from.

4. Vitrified flooring
Install vitrified flooring to bring in a glossy look your floors. Some vitrified tiles are printed with patterns that replicate the grain of Italian marble. For a seamless look with fewer joint lines, go for large vitrified tiles.

5. Indian Statuario marble
Nothing beats the beauty and shine of premium Italian marble. So, if you want to achieve the look of Italian marble within a budget, then opt for Indian Statuario marble.
6. Leatherette
Leatherette is a synthetic material designed to mimic the look of real leather. It is commonly known as fake leather, faux leather or PU in the furniture industry. It is a great way to achieve the look of real leather for less.

8. Paint
Use paint in creative ways, as it is one of the most affordable materials that can transform the overall look of any interior. Paint is not only meant for walls; it can be used on a variety of surfaces such as wood, plywood, floor tiles, and so on. Additionally, it can be applied as texture paint or spray paint on the walls.

9. Wallpaper
Patterned wallpaper is a great material to use on accent walls or to create a focal point within any given space. Wallpaper effortlessly adds a touch of sophistication and class, just as in this example.
