Affordable Home Decorating Tips

Overview

Home decorating can be a soothing hobby that totally transforms a room or home, but it can get pricey. Affordable decorating tips can give you some new looks without breaking the bank. A few, simple home decor changes can drastically change your home.

Green Touches

Silk plants make a room seem cozier. Potted palms, ficus trees and scheffelera are large green plants that dress up a room. Fill wicker baskets with some floral foam blocks and stuff them with your favorite silk greenery. RedEnvelope's Green Foliage Garden is a combination potting of a croton and ivy. Each garden comes housed in a 5-inch-wide bronze pot with foliage that is 12 inches tall.

Perspective

A simple change of perspective can make your digs seem brand new. Turn a bedroom into a home office. Smaller changes like moving around the furniture in your living room can give you a whole new look. Rearrange furniture at an angle, mixing and matching pieces in new ways. Add a one new piece like an overstuffed chair or leather coffee table. Swap bedroom lamps with living room lamps.

Wall Accents

Your walls draw a lot of attention. Paint one wall an accent color like navy blue or barn red. Faux-paint your walls with a sponge or use a vintage paint effect. Hang art-gallery-quality wall accents like RedEnvelope's Deluxe Wall Gallery Frame, which makes it easy. Place your pictures in the frame, position your hooks and hang this stunning gallery display. The unit is made of seven frames that hold 13 pictures. Choose between a black or espresso finish. Three-dimensional sculptures can change the look of a room.
