How to decorate your home on a budget

Giving your home decor a makeover doesn't have to cost the earth. With a little creativity and some strategic planning, you can create a beautiful and welcoming space on a budget. Here are some tips for decorating your home on a budget:

Set a budget

It may sound obvious, but the first step to saving money on your makeover is to set a budget. This will help you stay focussed and avoid overspending. Decide which room to tackle - and there's nothing wrong with decorating one room and then taking a break while you save up for the next job. Next, determine how much money you can spend and then create a list of makeover ideas - Pinterest is fabulous for that. Mix and match until you have a look you love at a price you can afford.

DIY your Decor

Get in touch with your creative side and create your own DIY decor items. Not only will you end up with things that are unique to you, but you'll also save a lot of money. Search online for inspiration and tutorials for creating wall art, throw pillows, and other decorative items. This is a fabulous way to help your children personalise their rooms, too.

Shift and Repurpose

Just because that chest or this picture don't fit in the living room, doesn't mean they can't find a place somewhere else in your home. Changing how you use a piece of furniture can also add new life - and it adds a unique touch to your space.

Focus on High-impact Items

High-impact items are decor choices than can completely transform a room. Think a different wall colour, a striking piece of art, or a new rug or curtains. High impact items can be expensive, but they don't have to be. Sometimes, a colourful throw and new cushions can be all that's needed to give a room a new lease of life. Don't immediately head out to the shops - see if you can find a high-impact item amongst your existing possessions first.

Make the Most of Plants

Plants can add life and colour to a room without costing a lot of money. If you don't have green fingers, look for low-maintenance plants that are easy to care for and can thrive in a variety of environments. Or choose bold arrangements of dried flowers and grasses.

Decorating your home on a budget is all about being creative and strategic with your purchases. By creating DIY decor items, and repurposing pieces of furniture you already have, you can create a beautiful and welcoming space without overspending. Focus on high-impact items and incorporate plants to add personality to your space.
