A Few Decorating Budget Tips to Get You Started

 

The first thing you should remember when decorating is that there are no rules except those that you set for yourself.  However, having a plan is always a good idea and will help you to keep on budget.

 

Below are a provided a number of tips that will help you get started.

 

  1. Trust yourself

 

Remember, you will know more about what looks good for your home than you think.

 

  1. Focal Points

 

Select the most important element in a room, say a fireplace, and make this the focal point.  Then place furnishings and objects around it to draw a person's eye towards it.  You could, if you want, direct the person's eye towards, say, a window, which then directs them to look outside into the garden.

 

  1. Themes

 

Provide each room with a theme.  You may just decide on a color, or it may be a particular style, say French Country or Italian Tuscany, for say the kitchen.  Doing this will give you a starting point, and will help to guide you through the decorating stages.

 

  1. Planning

 

When planning your design, work from the largest area of the room to the smallest.  For instance, start with walls, windows, floors, furnishings and then finish with accessories.  It is important to remember the larger the decorating surface, the more impact it will have on the finished design.

 

But the most important thing of all when decorating on a budget is to have fun!
