challenging to find the right furniture without completely breaking the bank. However, with just a little creativity, you can find just the right pieces to create a beautiful home too, but at a fraction of the cost. Here are some ways to decorate your home affordably.
Neutral Colours
To increase the changes of each piece of furniture fitting with the room’s theme, look for pieces that come in neutral colours such as grey, mauve, creme or similar colours. That way, you’ll not only help everything fit together aesthetically, but you’ll also be able to reuse pieces of furniture if you ever decide to repaint the walls or redecorate.
Cheap rugs and drapes
You can save money by choosing drapes and rugs in solid colours. Solid colours are available in most department stores, and you’ll be able to shop around and find the best deals. Prints, on the other hand, are often available in only a few shops, or may need to be custom-ordered, which can increase the price dramatically. Instead, invest in high-quality, sturdy pieces of furniture that will last, such as a couch and chairs that you really like.
Comb Craigslist
Sites like Craigslist are great places to find cheap furniture, so long as you don’t mind secondhand items. Most people who try to sell on Craigslist are trying to get rid of their extra furniture quickly, which often results in very low prices. If you’re after a simple, functional piece, such as with a chest of drawers or desk for your home office, then you may luck out with Craigslist.
Display your artwork
To make the room feel more lived-in, you can decorate the walls with your own artwork, photographs and keepsakes. This way, you’ll not only save money on decorations but you’ll also have a chance to display your own artistic style and make the space yours.
Make alterations as necessary
If you have something that came at a great price but just doesn’t fit with your theme, don’t be afraid to change it up. You can get an attractive cover for a couch, or decorate an old lamp to make it pretty. Don’t be afraid to let your creative side shine. Since it’s your space, you should really make it yours!
