Money-saving ideas for a clean and stylish home décor
Sooner or later everyone starts searching for ways to relieve the monotony of their home. In such cases, many people take up major renovation projects. However, changing the outlook of a property doesn’t need to involve construction work and high expenses. Nowadays, the infinite internet field offers a variety of creative ideas, which are pretty easy to implement and won’t strain one’s budget. Moreover, they often can be put into practice by reusing some old or unnecessary items. The best part of renewing the home décor yourself is that you are expressing your own creativity and individual taste.
Here are several money-saving ideas to start with.
Cheer up the walls
The walls engage a lot of space in every property and often define its look. There are many ways to brighten them. To begin with, you can download all types and shapes of wall stencils on the internet. They are great for the kitchen and the children’s room. However, you can find place for these also in other rooms. Another idea is to use a butterfly, flower or another type of paper decoration to brighten the look of your bedroom. This is an easy and cost-effective solution, which will bring comfort and warmth. My last suggestion is to customise a creative photo album on the wall in the living room. Depending on the size of the wall prepare the necessary number of photos and lay them out in the shape of a heart, for example.
Refresh the old furniture
It is not necessary to invest in new furniture to increase the aesthetics of your home. Here’s how you can restore the good look of the one you own. Purchase several cotton drop clothes and wash them several times to make them more pliable. Start draping the fabric over the furniture and make sure to tuck it good in the seat and arms. In the end, staple gun the fabric to the frame. You can reupholster the cushions as well. It is advisable to use a different colour of a cotton drop cloth, which of course is matching the first one. Place the cloth on the table and put the cushion in the middle. Cut the necessary amount, wrap the cushion in it and sew the fabric around the cushion. You can even go further and decorate the cushions with heart shaped buttons.
Rearrange the entryway
This is the first area of your home that guests see, so you would like it to create a sense of cosiness. Sometimes changing the position of any items is enough to brighten up a room. If you store too many things in the entryway, consider removing some of them. After that make the necessary rearrangements and maximise this part of your house. Placing decorative baskets, flowers or other decorations will further brighten up the entryway.
Tip:
Before you implement these décor ideas carry out an overall cleaning, paying special attention to the outlined areas. In other words, make sure that the walls are free of dust and cobwebs before you decorate them in your preferred manner. Hoover the furniture from all sides and wipe its wooden parts. The same holds true for the entryway. You will need to put some more efforts to clean and sanitise it completely. First, declutter this area of your house and after that clean the rug, wash the floor and wipe the dust.
These simple ideas can help you to lend variety to your well-known surroundings without any hassle or expensive purchases. You can find similar tricks on the internet and any home décor magazine.
