1. Use quilts to decorate large wall spaces. Traditionally, large wall spaces are decorated with artwork or thousands of family pictures. They may be good but the former is oftentimes not budget conscious while the latter is time-consuming. An alternative would be wall quilts.
Wall quilts are easy to install. You can also set the tone or mood for the room. You can also create your main color scheme with quilts.
Quilts are not very expensive. They are available online. Most quilts range between $40 and $300 depending on the material, size or color.
2. Ask for help from family and friends. Maybe you know someone aesthetically inclined. They are a superb source of advice and information. You can also enlist them for a “decoration swap”. You can get some stuff you really need while helping others with their own home decoration projects as well.
3. Make use of shelves or bookshelves. They are not only a place where you put some stuff. You can actually become creative in your home decorations using shelves. They can be used for wall displays. Well organized shelves also provide a cozy ambience.
Bookshelves help make your rooms look more manageable. They are excellent room dividers; say, to break apart your living room from the dining room.
4. Find time to look for good pieces of furniture. You can find second-hand furniture in the Craigslist or thrift stores. Most of them are still good and useful. People sell their furniture not because something is wrong with it but because they just don’t want them anymore.
5. Paint just a section or a wall in your room. You don’t need to paint the entire room; just a portion of it. You can set the tone by creating contrasts. This is fun and really inexpensive.
You don’t need to hurt your family financially with your home decoration projects. There are alternatives that can give you what you want without going out of your budget.
