Champagne Taste And A Beer Budget With Home Decor
Are you blessed with a keen sense of style? Does this sense of style spill over into your home decorating dreams? If you only had the money to do the make over!
Even if the economy is poor you don’t have to go without style in your home. There are numerous methods for decorating your home in taste and fine style without spending a bundle.
Do your bit, “go green” by looking for your furnishings in every second hand store, flea market or garage sale you can find. There are sure to be treasures hidden amongst all the other items. Be creative, with a little work a used item can become quite the center of attention. Think of this form of recycling as your contribution to a better world.
If you have a darker room and you want to brighten it up a bit but you don’t want to repaint the walls, try adding a mirror. Adding a mirror to an already decorated room will give it the illusion of being larger than it actually is in the room’s space. Another great way to update a mirror which you think will date the rooms decor is changing out the frame. It is quite simple and easy to come by! Or you can also just paint the one which you already have around the mirror. Cheap and easy, that’s the way to go.
Another great decor piece is a plant. Using plants as art you’ll be bringing in nature as well as creating a great atmosphere. You either can use real or fake depending if you have any allergies. The choice is yours!
If you want to save another few bucks try doing stuff yourself. Read some research if it is something you haven’t done before or ask someone who has had a few tries at the specific decorating situation. If you are quite artistic in the linen area you’ll save yourself on curtains, throw pillows, and of course any other type of fabric ideas you have for your room. It is easier to go out and only throw a few bucks into fabric and then create the ideas the way you want them to look.
Area rugs are another great accent you can place on the floor, especially wooden ones. You’ll be giving the room more design along with a bit of coziness. There are so many shapes and sizes these days to choose from for area rugs that you’ll find something that will match perfectly.
The key to working on a budget is trying to do stuff yourself. Sometimes you’ll need another hand but that is what friends are for!
