How to renovate your home without using up savings

01 Sep 2025 by Team FinFIRST

At some point, every home needs a refresh. Whether you are planning a new bathroom floor, better kitchen storage, an organised wardrobe, or a dedicated work-from-home area, renovation is not about fixing what is old. It is about making your space work better for your present lifestyle. 

But while ideas come easily, figuring out how to fund them can take more thought. Many people delay home upgrades, assuming it means draining savings. But you do not need to wait for the “perfect moment.” With IDFC FIRST Bank’s FIRSTmoney personal loan, you can finance your house renovation quickly, smartly, and confidently. Get all the insights below.
