Your home is the biggest investment you might make in your lifetime. It is not just the value of the home you’re paying for but also the upkeep. You want an environment that is relaxing to come home to after a hard day’s work. You also want an inviting space for entertaining. All of that can be accomplished with a few affordable decorating ideas. Here’s what you can do around your home:
Paint Accent Wall
Painting your walls is one of the most cost-effective decorative updates you can make to your home. Instead of painting an entire room, just think about painting a single wall. It should be a color that offsets they other walls in that room. There are varieties of paint that are also primer so you won’t need to make two coats. After painting an accent wall, use that color to tie in other elements like pillows and throws. Now the whole room is color coordinated!
DIY Pieces
Yes, you can make your own furniture. Perhaps not an upholstered sofa but there are plenty of bookshelves, end tables and coffee tables that can be created using all kinds of reclaimed wood or other materials. Almost any flat surface material can have legs added without any much complications. You’re sure to find all the help you need on YouTube or any of the dozens of DIY sites online.
Set Up Sale Alerts
If you are looking for a particular piece of furniture that will complete your decorating, then find it online and set up a sale alert. Every ecommerce site should have an option for a sales alert. You’ll get the email when the price drops and then you can swoop in to snatch it up. There are also sites like Overstock or Amazon that will let you know when something is close to selling out.
Get Rid of Junk
Before you set your final decorating plan in motion, think about all the stuff you can get rid of. Anything that is dated, worn out or damaged beyond repair should be targeted for removal. “Easier said than done,” you might be thinking.
