How to Save Money When Decorating Your Home

By Reuben Riggs


The best part of moving is that we get the chance to decorate fresh. Decorating a new space can be fun and exciting. Of course, many people are intimidated by the cost and size of a home decorating process. Thankfully there are plenty of options available for people who want to create a homey feeling in their dwelling that do not involve spending thousands (or sometimes even hundreds of dollars). Your bank account can absolutely survive your latest decorating scheme. Are you looking for ways to decorate without spending all of your hard earned money? This article has tips to help you out.

Don't bother with expensive art houses. Unless you want to make your own, don't bother trying to hunt down original pieces of art right now. Track down some prints of your favorite pieces of art. Original art is more expensive than prints. Art prints are cheaper and easier to deal with than original artworks. Saving money on prints is easy because they are usually printed in easily farmable proportions so you can do the framing on your own. You can save money on framing by buying a frame that is on sale and framing the print yourself. Going to the frame shop is something you can do in your own time-you don't have to worry about working around a professional framer's schedule and, if you buy the frame on sale, you can save quite a lot of money!

You don't have to fill up every inch of decorating space in your home. If you shove decorations into every millimeter of available space you can make your house feel messy even when it's clean! Don't let other things distract from the pieces that you like the most!

Be creative! Why not decorate with ordinary household items? Believe it or not, pots and pans can be great pieces of art-especially since you can still use them to cook! If you put your cookery on the walls, you won't have to dig through the cabinets to find it!

Start surfing Craigslist or the classified section of your local newspaper. Lots of people use these places to sell decorative items for the home. Some simple surfing could you net you enough to decorate your whole home in just a matter of a few hours. Lots of people place their own ads with lists of things they want to find for decorating their homes. This can save you lots of time because then people can come to you with what they're selling. Don't forget to be careful! Make sure you inspect the items you agree to buy before you actually hand over any money for them!

You can save money when you want to decorate your home. As long as you remind yourself over and over that "newer" is not necessarily "better" you can find plenty of specials on home dcor. Sometimes "used" items can be a goldmine. Sometimes you already have everything you need on hand. Once in a while, think about repurposing something that you find on discount somewhere. Sales are everywhere; you just need to know where to look. Don't rush your search. Creating a beautiful home without spending a lot of money is easy!
