How many times has your business proposal been rebuffed by this response? : “It is the 3rd quarter and management is not approving any new expenditure until the next financial year”. Or another common response this year: “We are approaching the general elections and we would rather wait for things to settle down after the elections”.
These kinds of responses can really dampen your enthusiasm especially so if you were hoping to spend the money to invest in a dear project like decorating your home. Well, inspite of this financial reality, it is still possible to give your home a touch of décor lift without breaking the bank. Today, we share ten budget décor tips.
- Flaunt a frame: Add oomph to a side table with an attention-getting frame, like with a Moroccan-style piece in an intense shade of orange or with gracefully curved green glass vase with or without blossoms.
- Powerful Pillow: Energize a straightforward sofa with bold cushions: an island-floral, linen-cotton pillow cover and a sophisticated, olive green suede rectangle.
- Keep it Cozy: Perfect for cozying up a couch, a snugly chenille throw in silvery jade, measuring a nap-worthy six feet long may just be what you need to add pomp to a rather lonely sofa.
- Replace that peel with paint: The speediest way to give a room a new look on the cheap is to paint an accent wall a high-contrast colour. For instance, waterfall blue used on the wall behind a sofa or TV set. All you need is a single quart to make the transformation.
- Use colourful pots: Countertop in need of some life? Just pop potted herbs inside colorful perforated metal planters.
- Fasten your seat belt: Brighten your seats with plump cushions contained in strap-able cushion covers preferably in strong colours and punchy graphics.
- Style and stripes: Rehab a bed on a budget by pairing pillowcases in natty stripes and exuberant florals for doesn’t-have-to-match playfulness.
- Beautiful boudior: Pink light-bulbs cast a soothing and flattering glow that transforms a bedroom into a boudoir.
- Simple and Chic: A simple nightstand that can be easily found at a flee market can add charm to your bedroom.
- Retro Rugs: Bright and plushy cotton rugs work to brighten a bath and give your body a nice pampering after a nice bubbly post-soak.
- Bamboo in the bathroom: Soften a too-sterile bathroom with a collection of warm-hued bamboo accessories.
With these decorating ideas, you can make just a few seemingly small changes and your rooms will suddenly seem richly reinvigorated.
