Inexpensive Home Decorating Tips

Moving can be an expensive process. Paying movers, purchasing new furniture and appliances, and storage fees are just some of the costs associated with moving. Decorating a new home can also be expensive. Instead of breaking the bank, liven up your home on a budget with the following inexpensive decorating ideas:

• Cover up flaws instead of repairing or correcting them. For instance, place a rug over a marred floor or use a tapestry to cover a rough wall. This can be less inexpensive than finishing walls and floors.


• Add some greenery. Plants will quickly liven a room. Many plants are long lasting, easy to take care of, and a cheap fix to decorate your home.


• Replace old lamp shades. Lamp shades come in a variety of textures and colors. An even cheaper way to replace a lamp shade is to buy a plain lamp shade and decorate it yourself.


• Repaint old cabinets instead of purchasing new ones. A new coat of paint will freshen the look of your old cabinets. Go to your local paint supply or home improvement store for tips on how to paint cabinet surfaces.


• Make your own wall art. Use stencil patterns, decals, and borders to cheaply create wall art.


• Add fabric to a room. Combining different styles and patterns of fabric for window treatments and accessories can be a fun and cheap way to decorate a room.


• Paint! Painting old furniture, walls, and accessories can create dramatic changes to your home at low price.

Decorating your new home doesn't need to be expensive. Look online for cheap ideas and don't be scared to decorate yourself. Get creative and you can decorate your home cheaply and easily.
