Decorating

Home is where the heart is because it’s the place where you can rest and let your hair down. That said, you’ll definitely want it to look the best it can be. Whether your goal is to spruce up your place and give it a new look or just make it more comfortable and akin to your personality, you can achieve it through decorating.

Here are some tips on how to decorate on a budget:

1.    Add colour

Paint does not cost much, but it works wonders in creating an impact on the room. It can brighten it up and give a new feel to it. You can add colour through accent pieces like artwork, different coloured furniture, or even plants in the room if you can’t paint the whole room. If you’re unsure about tackling a painting project on your own, you could consider reaching out to a professional, like a handyman in Wixom, or elsewhere, who can ensure quality results and handle the job efficiently. It’s up to you if you’d like to maintain one colour accent or play around with multiple colours.

2. Reorganize

Reorganizing the items in the room can also bring a new feel to the room. Moving and playing around with the location of each item can help give you ideas where they would look good in. As you reorganize, you will be able to see what you want to keep and what you think would be best donated or thrown away. To help you on your reorganization journey, it would be a good choice to also pick up some storage boxes so that you can keep everything neat and tidy.

Organization can take some time, so carve out a few hours each weekend or after work to move through each room and adjust the space. Once you are done you will marvel at the difference it has made, making you feel a lot better amongst your surroundings.

3. Buy from thrift shops or flea markets

Being on a budget shouldn’t hinder you from creatively decorating. You can buy trinkets and decorative pieces from thrift shops or flea markets at an affordable price. You can also customize them by painting them to your liking (if you are the DIY type).

Always go hunting for the best price and see if there are any deals on. Realistically, you could probably kit out your entire home with flea market and thrift shop finds, but always be cautious as you need to also think of quality not just money. A flea market sofa may look good, but if there is some wear and tear, this can get worse as time goes on and you may end up with a broken piece of furniture, so always be careful and explore your options.

So there you have it, ways that you can decorate on a budget! Hopefully this has helped you decide what to do next in your home. It is your safe space after all so you want it to look and feel great.
