Are you thinking about refreshing your space, but have a limited budget?
Good news is you don’t have to splurge on a huge budget to achieve a fabulous look.
However, decorating on a budget means you will need to find some inspiration, and a bit of creativity to get the work done.
Be resourceful, and stick to a budget goal. Make a design plan to help you stay on task. And, enjoy the process!
Here are some helpful tips while decorating on a budget.
Space Layout
An easy way to refresh your space is with updating furniture layout. The simple act of rearranging the furniture placement can transform a space. Keep in mind traffic flow areas, and aim to create conversation groupings in your space.
Be Resourceful
Look for items you already have to incorporate in your project. Paint, or reupholster tired furniture pieces to achieve an updated look. Mix styles for an eclectic feel.
Walls
Painting is the most affordable way to transform your space. You can make a room look bigger and brighter, cozier or dramatic, all with a can of paint. Get creative using stencils and patterns for unique designs.
Accessorizing
Another easy way to transform your space is with accessories. Seems like a small thing to do, but accessories can give your space a lift. A new art piece, throw pillows, a new rug, or fresh flowers can make a huge impact.
Mix high with low
Mixing higher end items with more stylish and lower ticket items can save you money. Choose wisely and invest more on timeless and classic pieces.
Roll up Your Sleeves
Taking on a DIY home project can be a big commitment, but also comes with a great sense of pride and accomplishment. Thankfully, Youtube and Pinterest are DIYer’s favorite go to places for how to do basic home projects.
