Adding Style To The Room By Adding Color!

You can spruce up any room at a low cost. There are
many things you can do without having to spend a lot
of money. Many of the items you can purchase to liven
up a room include paint, paintings, rugs, colorful accessories,
though pillows, slip covers for the furniture, drapes to
name a few things that can add color to your room.

White walls can be very boring in a new apartment or
home. Ask the Landlord first if it is an apartment. If you
promise to paint before you leave they might let you do it
( the same with wall paper.)
You might not have a lot of money to spend for
decorating or design but you need to do something.

(adding wall paper to the room)

Painting the walls can make a really big difference in
a room. Some people favor sponge painting because it
looks as if the paint changes the texture in the
walls.

However, finding the right paint can create a mood in
the room you are looking for that is pleasurable and
calming. If the room has crown molding or other details,
paint can bring them out to be more noticeable and add
greatly to the look of the room.







(The paint makes the crown molding stand out.)

Adding a painting to a wall makes a statement.
You can find cheap artwork for your wall that you enjoy
and it will say something about you. Some people like to add
a painting to a wall to create a focal point in a room
and it does work well. It will surprise you the
difference a picture or a painting will make in a room.

Adding a colorful rug to a drab room will make an
amazing difference with the look and feel. A rug can
brighten up and make the room look brand new.

( The colors in the area rug can help to tie the room together.)


Depending on the style of your furniture, you might
consider an area rug as your center point in the room.
You will be surprised with the difference you can make
by laying out an area rug.

* Adding colorful accessories to the room help a lot.


* Changing the drapes or window treatment can add color
and texture to the room.


* Slip covers can change the color and look of the furniture.
If it is not that new, it will add new life to the furniture as well.


* Through pillows add color as well.



These things do not cost a lot, but can transform your room
to the look and style that you are looking for.

Decorate On A Budget - Add Style To Any Room!

There are many ways you can decorate your home when
you are on a budget. You don’t have to have a lot of
money to make your home look nice and stylish.

Many of the things you can do is shop second hand, use
family members, finding less than perfect items, and
more.

If you are hoping to redecorate your home but you are
on a tight budget then don’t worry about hiring
someone to come in and help you. This is where your
family and friends can come in and assist.

Find photos of rooms that you like in magazines, see if
you can find things that are close to the styles that are
in that photo. Find them at second hand stores or scratch
and dent. Take your time the hunt is part of the fun, one
piece at a time. What great joy you will have when it is finished.

When you are at the stores see how the do accessories and
flowers that add to the room and do the same in your home.

You can even hold a party to help you with the efforts
of painting, laying tile, or anything else you have in
mind. Friends and family are always willing to come
and help with a decoration project and if you provide
the food and drinks then they usually will never say
no.

When you are on a budget it is hard to find the best
and you have to be flexible. You can shop at second
hand stores and find really nice furniture, paintings,
rugs, and more.

( Deadwood South Dakota, what great finds you can find here.)

If you are willing to shop used it will surprise you
some of the neat items you can find at these places
that you can use that will make your home look
fabulous. You might also want to think about finding
less than perfect merchandise.

You can go to furniture stores and find defective
furniture that is still brand new for very low prices.
Some of the furniture might have a scratch that is
barely noticeable at an excellent price. Some of the
furniture you cannot even see the defect and it is
brand new.

When you are on a budget you have to think cheap. Use
your friends and family members to help you and find
low cost items that are not so perfect or second hand.

From the second hand store you might find a piece and use it
in a totally different way than it was used before. With a few
changes It can have new life and add life to your room.

Hide the office by having it be in something that closes when
you do not need it and opens when you do need it. Same with
the tv.



Think of things like refinishing the things that you already
have to give new life to them and give your room a new look.
Refinish wood pieces to make them look new.
Changing the paint color in your rooms can give it the zing that
it needs. Slip covers can add new life to the sofa or chair.
( Add new fabric to the seat of the chair and it looks new again.)

Changing the window treatment or light fixtures are something
that really change the look of a room.

Take classes to learn how to do your own tile work or carpentry
work. There are some things that should be left to the pro's
plumbing , electrical and the furnace are a few of these important
things that can cost more than money if not done right.

Do what you can to help yourself. You never know you might like
what you learned so much that you make a living at it or add to
your income with your new found skills.

Decorating On A Budget !

You don’t have to have a lot of money to decorate your
home with style. Decorating can be expensive so there
are several things you should think about to keep your
budget as low as possible.

The first thing you should do when you are budgeting
your decorating and design for inside your home is
know how much money you have to spend.

You need to determine a payment plan or how much money
you have for the room or space you want to decorate.
Be sure to include the costs for accessories in the
room also.

When you are decorating on a budget you need to focus
on one room at a time. It is hard to complete the
entire home at once so your best option is to decorate
each room separately. You can prioritize which rooms
you would like to focus on first and begin with them.

Before you make any purchases on the interior design
and schemes you have decided upon you should view the
colors in your home with the different light schemes
in the room.

Be sure to view the colors you choose with natural
light coming into the room and with lamps or the bulbs
you will choose to light the room with.

( black and white is a great choice for colors)

You may completely disagree with the color schemes
once you have decorated and then have to spend more
money to change what you have decided upon.

You should also think about the decorating and design
you are going to do in the rooms of your home if you
don’t plan to be there for a long time.

You don’t want to spend a lot of money for major
changes to the rooms. You should buy items that will
spruce up the room and give you the look and feel you
enjoy but that you can take with you when you go. You
don’t want to be decorating each room every time you
move.

Change them out every so often to change the look of the room. Of course not all children are as good as this young lady, but that does not mean that they are not good art.
