When you’re short on money, decorating your home can seem
like a nearly impossible task. You think
of all of the improvements you’d like to see made, but when you look at your
wallet your heart sinks. There are some
decorating projects that cost home owners hundreds, or even thousands of
dollars, but you don’t have to go into debt creating a new look for your
house. If you really want to make a
dramatic change in your home, pick one thing in each room to redecorate. If you do that you’ll be able to save a lot
of money and make a big enough difference to change the look of your home. Try out some of these tips on your favorite rooms.
Kitchen
Don’t: Get new cabinets and countertops
Do: De-clutter your cabinets and countertops, and find some
of your favorite dishes and objects to display.
If you do this you’ll create a lot more open space in your kitchen and
make it easier to cook. You’ll also have
the added benefit of displaying your favorite dishes and bowls.
Bathroom
Don’t: Retile the floor
Do: Replace inexpensive objects like shower curtains and
bathmats for a more vibrant color or pattern.
Even the most stylish shower curtain and bathroom towels can’t cost a
lot of money, and changing those simple objects can easily give your bathroom
the new look you’ve been wanting.
Living room
Don’t: Get new furniture
Do: Choose an eye-catching décor piece to display in your
living room. Designer rugs can change
the whole look of your living room, and so can new throw pills for furniture
and a new painting to hang on the walls.
Bedroom
Don’t: Repaint your bedroom
Do: Find new bedding for your bed. New comforters and sheets can give your room
the new look you’ve been searching for, and you won’t have to spend a lot of
money.
