4 Home Decorating Tips on a BudgetRearrange Just by changing the position of some pieces of furniture or framed art, you can breathe some new life into a drab room. You need not limit yourself to swapping between pieces in just one room. Expand your horizons to other rooms, the basement and even the patio and garage. An example of a home decorating tip would be simply swapping window treatments between rooms and switching an end table for a plant stand and vice versa can give a new look without spending a penny. Thrift Stores and Garage Sales Never underestimate what you can find at a thrift store as you've heard the adage; one mans trash is the others treasure. Often people are moving or downsizing and just want to get rid off stuff. They are not in the market to make money and so a great and easy home decorating tip is to get a lightly used recliner or dresser for a very good price. It may not be new technically, but it is new for you. Paint A well known home decorating tip is that paint is by far the cheapest way to give a new look to any room. Instead of choosing a designer Ralph Lauren color, choose a similar shade in a national brand and give all five walls (yes, include the ceiling) a new coat. White walls are so out of fashion that even if you want a neutral color, shades of taupe, tan and beige are the way to go. To save even more, look for the oops' section in the pain department. They often have cans of paint at drastically reduced prices because the colors wee not matched correctly for the original customer. Accessorize Another home decorating tip can be to add decorative elements. Even if you do not have the budget for new pieces of furniture, you can add splashes of color around the house with funky or classic accessories that can instantly change the mood of a room. A new throw, some toss pillows, a new wall clock or frame, the possibilities are endless. Go with the theme of your room or with the season and indulge a little to get a lot. |
