The end of the year is approaching – we are all on a tight budget as we finish off our Christmas shopping and spend a fortune at the endless parties during the holiday season. After a long and tiring year, it’s time to refresh your home.
If your budget isn’t enough to renovate a room or the entire house, we can offer you some inexpensive and creative home decorating ideas! Discover how to decorate your home on a budget using these innovative ideas.
Utilise Your Bath Towels
You might not think of bath towels when you are looking for ideas to decorate your home, but, likely, they are not displayed in an aesthetically pleasing manner. We often throw the towel on the radiator or scrunch it up into a bunch somewhere that it shouldn’t. Why not use your towels to make a statement? Fold and arrange your towels in a way that makes them a beautiful statement.
Refresh Your Tables
You can do a lot with side and coffee tables in your home. Investing in some affordable vases, along with real or fake flowers to decorate them, can instantly brighten and freshen a room. You can use garden bits as an inexpensive decoration in the summer! If you want to create a stylish look without any hassle, artificial foliage is a great option. Faux Peonies look particularly smart!
A stylish doormat to welcome you with warmth
Why not be creative when designing your doormat? The door mats you choose are not expensive, and they can completely transform the entrance to your home. Choose from a traditional Welcome mat or something fun and different. Go wild!
Chic Magazine Display
Do not throw away any magazine that you may find in your stockings this Christmas! Arrange magazines, brochures, and tables stylishly on your coffee table to brighten up your room. Tuft & Trim explains how to layer books and magazines onto your coffee table. This will add dimension and interest.
Transform your bookshelves
Spending some time to organize your bookshelf and bring some order into it can make a huge difference in the look of a room. Consider investing in attractive and affordable bookends to make your bookshelf even more appealing! Wayfair, and not on the high street, has some creative bookends that are great for home decor!
Renew Old Furniture
You don’t have to be an expert DIYer to paint your furniture. It’s still possible. Consider painting dark wood furniture in a lighter shade of grey or cream to make a room feel brighter and airier. These shades can give the furniture a modern and chic finish. If your furniture cannot be painted, you can look for cheap alternatives that will work better. You can still work within your budget.
DIY Art
Artwork can define the style and comfort of a room, but it is notoriously costly. Art is expensive, and many pieces are considered investments. However, not everyone has the money to spend on such work. DIY art is easier than you think and can be more effective.
Better Homes & Gardens has identified some creative ways for you to be more creative without breaking the bank – or your back. Consider a chevron feature on your wall. You can achieve this by spray painting wood shims in different colors and arranging them into a chevron design.
New Rug
The flooring is the first thing to show signs of wear, especially wooden floors that are subjected to a lot more foot traffic. Why not consider a rug that is more affordable to brighten up your room instead of spending money and time on ripping out the old flooring and replacing it? Rugs can be luxurious, whether you invest in an area rug or a sheepskin.
