Decorating on a Budget

Earthsense

Looking for a way to spruce up your home without spending a lot of money?  It’s not as difficult as you’d think to redecorate on a budget.  Start by shopping your own home.  Are there items in storage you could reuse?  Think about rearranging furniture between rooms for a new look.  Or move artwork into other rooms for a new color palette. 

Re-purpose old clothing items to create fresh pillow cases – that old sweater could give your couch a nice pop of color.  Recycle cans, bottles, jars, and pitchers to reorganize your office, kitchen, craft room, or kid’s room.  Fabric paint is an inexpensive tool you can use to turn basic items into creative decoration.  Stencil a rug, lampshade, pillowcase or shower curtain for a fresh new look.  And when in doubt, paint – a whole room or just a piece of furniture.
