If you’re tired of the same old décor or want to save a little extra money this year, then try decorating your home for less. There are four stylish ways that you can do this very easily.
Decorate with What You Already Have.
Do you have any furniture or knickknacks in storage? Or maybe even under your bed? Well, gather them together and use them! Older pieces work well with new ones; all it takes is a fresh coat of paint (or another color), and voila! Your living room looks like it was bought wholesale from an antique store.
Another good idea is to out your closets now and then and search for things you no longer use or need. It’s likely possible to find something, even if it isn’t what you’re looking for; perhaps a family member would like to purchase it from you?
Use What You Have on Your Walls.
One of the cheapest ways to make your house look chicer is wallpaper. There are plenty of materials and techniques out there; all it takes is a little searching and creativity.
Hanging pictures and paintings can also be fun and highly effective. A framed print can brighten up any room, especially if it matches your furniture’s color scheme! Remember that this won’t have as big an impact as changing everything in the room. If possible, mix hanging art prints with wallpaper.
Use the Walls as Your Canvas.
Wallpaper can also be used to create a larger-than-life piece of art! If the room already has the colors you want, all it takes is some creativity and a lot of paint. Choose whatever style or picture you like, then figure out how to place it on your wall(s). You could use borders with different patterns or widths, or you might try using stencils if you’re short on cash! Another good idea is to look for interesting ways people have decorated their walls in magazines; this will inspire creative design.
Some More low-cost Ideas.
Use your imagination! If you’re resourceful, then the chances are that you’ll find some way to make your home look more wonderful.
You can always try new furniture or painting with brighter colors to liven up the place.
Keep in mind what lighting your room needs; sometimes, this is all it takes to change the atmosphere in a room.
It’s easy to decorate an entire house for less than 150 dollars, provided that you have the creativity and motivation. A little effort will go a long way too! Remember these cheap ideas next time there’s a big holiday gathering at your place of residence – get the party started by making your space into something that no one has seen before!
