How To Decorate On A Tight Budget

By Crystal Slater

People view your home as an extension of your individual personality and design. Everyone likes something different but every one has the same thing in mind; a home that is warm and relaxing to those who live there and those who visit. When you decorate your home you may find that it is a challenge and an expense. You can decorate your home frugally and this will save you money and give your home a new look.

Painting your walls is the first place to start. If you paint one wall the same or all the walls the same color it will bring out a relaxing feel and look to your room in an instant. Paint each wall a different color or you can paint them all the same color.

When you are working on a tight budget the most important thing to remember is that you can make do with what you got. Another words, if you have a sofa that needs to be reupholstered you can jazz the sofa up with throw pillows and a throw to make it look good again. Reupholstering can be expensive so give your sofa an instant facelift without a lot of cost. Mix up the pillows with different shapes and colors.

Another wonder accessory that can help you call attention to the places you want, are throw rugs. Scatter some bright and bold rugs at the places you would like people to focus on, these are instant attention getters. All those nasty stains you just can't get rid of can now be hidden under that beautiful throw rug, a simple alternative to the much costlier re-carpeting option.

An area rug is one of the most popular ways to redecorate in a frugal style. You can take what you already have and make it better. Area rugs can be appealing to everyone and it can be appealing to your wallet too.

It is a challenge to decorate frugally but you can do it with some simple planning and a little creativity. - 23802
