5 Ways to Decorate Your Home on a Budget
There is a number of simple and cost-effective solutions to completely changing the atmosphere of a room and adding a new flair of style. If you want to find out how you can decorate your home on a budget then we can help you out.
Utilise your floor space
If you are tired of your timber floors and would prefer carpet, instead of spending a fortune on having the entire floor re-done, choose a rug to compliment the room and add a degree of depth to the space. The right carpet can set the room’s overall tone and act as the backdrop for you to work up from. Go for something with a fun colour or pattern that goes well with the rest of the furniture in the room.
Swap The Furniture
Sometimes it’s not just about what you have in your house, but how you use it, which leads to you becoming tired of your decor. Mix things up by swapping the furniture in your house from room to room. Put your kitchen table in your dining room and the dining table in the kitchen for example. Switch around paintings, lamps, sofas, rugs and cabinets. You’ll be surprised what new and interesting visual looks you can create for your home, whilst remaining functional.
Accessorise your home
Instead of forking out extra cash for a new lounge suite or furniture piece, purchase some tactical accessories to add an elegant touch to your bedroom or lounge. Throw pillows can offer a flexible dual purpose, for providing a splash of colour as well as comfortable addition to your couch. Choose large, overstuffed cushions for a plush, elegant look.
Keep your coffee table covered with a table skirt or tablecloth and keep it bare when you feel like a bare look would look better with the overall look of the room. Changing your lampshades can also be effective by casting an entirely different mood lighting for any given room.
Change your Light Fixtures
Whether the lighting in a room is dim or you simply dislike the fixture, replacing it is an easy and inexpensive solution to spruce up a room. Purchase a vintage fixture online for a steal or opt for a modern selection, you just need to ensure that the light is bright enough. Simply by improving the lighting, you can enhance the vibe and ambience of a room. Downlights are another option for improving an atmosphere, with globe options available that can be adjusted to project different moods.
Lamps are a great way to add some extra lighting to the room and the kind of lamp you select will determine what type of look you’re going for. Candles are also a great way to add some mood lighting to an area in the house. If you’re looking into a one-time investment for light fixtures then you should go for adjustable smart lights. The intensity of these lights can be adjusted giving you the option of having different lighting that you can change according to your mood.
