It seems that everyone is trying to save money these days and learning on how to be frugal with your home’s decor is one way to cut expenses. Here are some quick tips on how you can save money today.
Extra lighting
Buying new lamps lets you configure different lighting scenarios, creating a more dramatic and light-filled environment, or having several low wattage lights placed around the house for a romantic and soothing effect. Also, strands of mini lights are a wonderful way to light up the borders of your windows (inside) to add some sparkling light during the shorter, darker days of winter.
Discount Area Rugs for your Home
Area rugs, depending on the size and what they are made of, may not always be cheap, but just buying one for a room can bring new life to a room. And there are several different styles to choose from from the standard traditional style through the more modern and contemporary rugs.
Throw Pillows
Don’t overlook this easy and inexpensive accessory. Throw pillows come in wonderful patterns and colors that can add a powerful punch to a room as well as revive an older, worn couch. The best throw pillows have zip off covers that are machine washable so you can keep them fresh looking.
Well Placed Large Plants
Forget the small leafy plants you can pick up at a grocery store. Look for large-leafed tall plants (3-5 ft) that add an element of architecture to a room as well as the lush green accent. On or two of these in a large decorative planter add a nice bold accent but at the same time, softening up corners of a room with their organic silhouette.
Large Baskets or Containers
Look for matching baskets and containers that can hold and hide clutter in a room, whether it be the kids’ toys, magazines, or even monthly bills. Matching containers create instant order to a room, especially when placed as pairs or groups on counter tops in the kitchen in book shelves, or even on the floor.
