For individuals who are conservative with their spending, such as recent college graduates on a budget, it may be difficult to imagine being able to transform your drab or tired rooms into a space you love and feel comfortable living in. Not all decorating projects have to involve extensive amounts of money, which is perfect news for those out there who have been waiting for the secret for designing without spending too much. In order to decorate on a budget, follow these two, helpful tips:
- Quality over quantity: One of the easiest mistakes to make while on a budget is buying quite a few, lower-quality furniture pieces simply because they are less expensive, only to have to keep buying multiple pieces later on when these pieces are no longer functional. Instead of wasting valuable money on pieces you will have to or will want to replace very soon, invest in a few higher-quality furniture pieces that will keep your design sensibilities happy, while not breaking your budget through buying new pieces of furniture every year or so.
- Accessories are key: If you truly are on a strict budget, but desire a new look, try decorating with stylish accessories or small pieces instead. Buy new decorative pillows, hang up detailed curtains or lay out a beautiful rug to add a pop of color and freshen up your tired rooms. Adding a fun end table or elegant lamp are two other ways to boost your room's style without breaking your budget.
