Home help: I have €5,000 to spend refreshing my two-bed townhouse. What’s the smartest use of the money?

There is something very satisfying about having a clear budget, and €5,000 in a two-up, two-down house can go further than you think, as long as you resist the temptation to start knocking walls or replumbing the entire house. It is about changing how your home feels rather than changing its footprint.
