6 tips for decorating your home without breaking the bank
There are few things more important than having a home in which you can relax and escape from the troubles of your hectic life. But making your home feel exactly right can get pricey as so much relies on your home decor. Unfortunately, not all of us are graced with huge budgets, so we need to plan carefully and make smart choices in order to make our home decor as beautiful as our vision.
Here are some budget friendly ideas that can freshen up your home without breaking the bank.
Just organize
Clutter can be the biggest killer of the mood in any room. Just by taking time to designate an appropriate place for your stuff, and put things away, you’ll find new ways to appreciate the visual appeal of your home decor.
Take on a new tone
It’s no shock that furniture can be the priciest part of any home decorating remodel. But you don’t always have to drop top dollar on new furniture when you may already have some very well crafted fixtures. Instead consider remodeling the furniture you already have by painting or staining it to give it a fresh look. It could save you a lot of money.
Paint the room again
You can completely alter the feel and look of a room with a single color. Painting is possibly the easiest way to change how the room is perceived. But it is important to do it right. If you’re looking for the best possible designs in the more formal areas of your home, try using complementary colors. These are the colors that oppose one another on the color wheel. If you’re looking to revamp the space where you relax, try utilizing analogous colors. These are the colors next to one another on the color wheel.
Get a handle on your kitchen
Redesigning your kitchen will usually be the most expensive venture of home remodeling you can embark on. Try giving it an updated look by simply changing all of the cabinet hardware. You’d be amazed what a difference this can have.
Try new fabrics
Instead of breaking the bank on brand new pillows to freshen up your living room, try getting crafty with a DIY project. You can save a lot of money by going to the fabric store and find a lot more options to match that look you’re going for. Use the fabric to make pillow slip covers and re-purpose all of those couch pillows you’ve gotten sick of looking at.
Become an artist
It’s no doubt that wall art can really define a space, and serve as the focal point of a room. But buying professional artwork is usually out of the question if you’re trying to save money. Fortunately, you don’t have to be the next Picasso or even attend an accredited online college for art to create your own wall art. There are tons of DIY art projects out there, especially on Pinterest. So find one you like and give it a whirl. It’ll also be tons of fun!
When it’s all said in done you would be surprised at how much change came with some of these tips. Your home will have a fresh new look that you’ll be excited to go home to every day. Just keep in mind before undergoing any home makeover project, to know exactly how much you want to spend overall, and plan appropriately
