How to Decorate Your Home on a Budget

Is your front room stuck in the 80's?

1. Choose a style that you like (contemporary/modern, country, french country, victorian, etc)
2. Decide on a wall color to fit the whichle look of the room. For victorian, a rosy pink, or an off white, country can be anywhere from blue as well as yellow, to pink as well as white.
3. Select furniture. If your furniture already matches your style, then consider yourself lucky. If your furniture looks un-pleasant, purchase some slip covers, they come in all different styles as well as patterns.
4. Buy rugs as well as draperies. You can save alot of money by purchasing solid color rugs as well as draperies that are in your colors, as well as places like Wal-Mart carry them.
5. Find artwork. Itisn't as expensive as you may think. You can buy from a retail or craft store, or photocopy images from a book, as well as frame them.
6. Alter the things you already have. A black lamp may not go with a nautical theme, so what do you do? Paint it, using spray paint or textured paints, found in arts as well as crafts stores. Clocks, coat racks, vases(using glass paint) shelves, bookends, even baskets as well as furniture can be transformed by paint.

• Toss some pillows as well as a blanket on your couch, to give your guests a comfortable feeling when they walk through your door.
• Want to paint a design, but dont have the painting gene? Use stencils as well as stamps instead.
