Keeping Money In Your Bank Account When You Decorate
Sometimes it seems like the only rule to home decorating is “the more expensive, the better your taste.” It isn’t hard to forget what you’re doing and get caught up in the “vision” of your home instead of keeping track of what you spend. Don’t worry too much if you don’t have a lot of money to use on your home decorating project. Thankfully there are plenty of ways to decorate that don’t involve spending major dollars.
If you want to save your money and still create beautiful decorations read this article for ideas!
Start small and try not to go overboard. Instead of trying to cover every inch of your home’s free space with decoration, start with a few pieces that you truly enjoy. Save your money and use it to buy the things you truly love instead of choosing more expensive items that you don’t care about as much.
Most people redecorate their homes because their original attempts were too rushed and ended up creating a look that they quickly grew tired of. Taking your time with your decorating will allow you to be picky about what you use to decorate your home. Working slowly helps you to make sure that you put together a solid decorating scheme.
Don’t be afraid of empty space. A home that has decorations on every surface can be hard to live in-and it creates more work (think of the dusting!) for the home owner. Give your decorations space!
Using only selected pieces will help those pieces stand out more. When you choose carefully you’ll have more appreciation for the pieces you’ve chosen. When you fill every inch of available space on a wall, it is harder to decide which pieces of art to look at and you won’t be able to enjoy all of them. White space is necessary for the decorating scheme to be complete. All artists will tell you that “white space is good.”
Stock photo websites and websites like Flickr are great for finding photos that you can print and use for decoration. It isn’t hard to print the photos you find through Flickr or a stock photo website because they are usually considered “open source” so printing them yourself or having them printed at a print shop is easy. Decorating your house with a ton of awesome photography can be as easy as find and print and for only the cost of some color prints at your local print shop. Why not print your own photos and use them? Finding affordable software that you can use to edit and enhance your photos is easy. Not only will you save lots of money by doing this, you’ll have fun!
The idea behind decorating is to keep yourself from going overboard. Price isn’t everything-inexpensive items are just as good as expensive items. Don’t go hog wild with expensive galleries and showings. Keep your existing decorating scheme in your mind while you look for new pieces. There are plenty of things already in your house that you can use as decorations! Use your imagination! Even a wicker basket filled with pine cones from the back yard can be decorative! Slow and steady wins the race in decorating and will often keep you from overspending!
