Introduction

Hi fellow home decorator.

First, let me thank you for purchasing this exciting new guide on how to
decorate your home on a budget. I really appreciate that.

For anybody, decorating on a budget can be a challenge, but it also can be

very rewarding. It will also teach you how to showcase your home. In this
book, we will provide great ideas and tips for decorating various rooms
within your home without going over budget.

Just by adding a few small, but creative and decorative details, you can
make any home look like a million dollars. As long as you approach your
decorating on a budget creatively, it should not only save you money, but
will be fun also.

If you want to create the perfect look for your home, and you are on a
budget, then you need to get creative. It is not impossible to design a new
look for any room in the home on a shoestring. So as long as you are willing
to invest your time and energy, then you should be able to make a room go
from plain to perfect in no time at all.

As already mentioned above, decorating on a budget can be fun. So instead

of looking at the more expensive items that are available, why not instead
start looking at their inexpensive counterparts. There are plenty of
companies around which offer items that look as good as the more expensive
items for the home, at half the price.

The real test for anyone who is decorating on a budget is their ability to take
an inexpensive item, and then be able to camouflage its real value. So what
they should be able to do is make a $10 item look like a $100 item instead.
This can certainly be achieved, all it requires is a little patience, and a little
decorating know how.
However, when decorating on a budget, it does not mean that you have to
cut down on the quality of everything that you want. Not only can
decorating on a budget be fun, but if creatively undertaken, it can also be
done with flair and style.

It is important when doing any decorating on a budget that you have a plan.
So you need to know what furniture you need (if any). What color scheme
do you want for each room? What style do you want? By doing this, you will

 A Guide on Decorating Your Home on a Budget

not waste time and money in purchasing things that you do not need, and
also that you do not like.

In fact, budget decorating is all about knowing what is a good deal and what
isn’t.

So why not give it a try, and as long as you make your decorating on a
budget fun and enjoyable, you will find that it can be done.
So that is why we still start immediately with the first chapter of this guide.

Kind regards,

Chapter 1 –

A Few Decorating Budget Tips to Get You

Started

The first thing you should remember when decorating is that there are no
rules except those that you set for yourself. However, having a plan is
always a good idea and will help you to keep on budget.

Below are a provided a number of tips that will help you get started.

1. Trust yourself

Remember, you will know more about what looks good for your home than
you think.

2. Focal Points

Select the most important element in a room, say a fireplace, and make this
the focal point. Then place furnishings and objects around it to draw a
person’s eye towards it. You could, if you want, direct the person’s eye
towards, say, a window, which then directs them to look outside into the
garden.

3. Themes

Provide each room with a theme. You may just decide on a color, or it may
be a particular style, say French Country or Italian Tuscany, for say the
kitchen. Doing this will give you a starting point, and will help to guide you
through the decorating stages.

4. Planning

When planning your design, work from the largest area of the room to the
smallest. For instance, start with walls, windows, floors, furnishings and
then finish with accessories. It is important to remember the larger the
decorating surface, the more impact it will have on the finished design.

But the most important thing of all when decorating on a budget is to have
fun!

Chapter 2 –

How to Decorate a Living Room on a

Budget

In this chapter, we will look at a number of different ways to provide a new

look to your living room. It may be that you are just starting out in a new
home, or that you would like to revive an old tired space, but decorating any
room, and especially the living room, can be a real challenge. It can be even
more of a challenge when you only have small budget to work with.

But the biggest hurdle that we face is how to get a look that expresses our
unique personality, without spending a fortune. However, by looking at the
items you already have in a different way, you should be able to create a
cozy family room for almost next to nothing. Below are provided a number
of decorating tips which should help to turn a drab living room into a warm
and friendly place for everybody to gather.

1. Paint

Paint one wall using your favorite color, and so make this the focal point of
the room. Then hang a piece of interesting art on the wall (it could even be
something you have made yourself). Next, place a nice piece of furniture on
that side of the room to provide even more accent to the wall. If you want to
add extra impact to the wall, then why not use a rubber stamping
technique? Although it is extremely easy to do, rubber stamping can look
very impressive when finished.

2. Use an Area Rug

This is a great way to define a conversation area and look for one which will
complement the décor of the room. Rather than lying it straight, put it at an
angle underneath your coffee table (if you have one). Or if not, then just
place it in a central location where the seating is situated. Why not add
some large cushions as well?

3. Pictures & Mirrors

Hang those which most reflect your personality. If you are able to, try
frames that are more ornate. Plus, when hanging a mirror, place it in a

Page 8 of 24
 A Guide on Decorating Your Home on a Budget

position where it will reflect either a nice view, or an interesting

architectural element of the room. Including a mirror in a room also creates
the illusion of more space in a room because of the light reflecting off it.

4. Lighting

Replace lamps, as these are one thing that will provide clues to your room
being outdated. If you are unable to replace the whole lamp, then just
consider replacing the lampshade instead.

5. Coffee Table

If your coffee table is looking tired or scratched, then cover it with a small
decorative throw rug. Or if you want to be a bit more adventurous, then
why not consider tiling the top of it with mosaic tiles or colored glass
instead?

6. Rearrange the Furniture

But do not think square; instead, put your furniture at an angle. By doing
this you are giving a whole new look to the layout of your room, and is much
more inexpensive than going out and buying new furniture.

Also pay attention to the floor space that you have left and use it. You could
actually get some scatter cushions and use these as additional seating. It
will provide your living room with a much more relaxed atmosphere.

7. Plants

Use plants to add freshness and impact to the décor of your room, and if
placed strategically, will hide any ugly flaws in a room.

Finally, if you do not need it, then remove it. You can either donate it to
your local charity, or ask a family member or friend if they could use it. By
de-cluttering a space, you will not only be providing yourself with more
room, but you will also be gaining a whole new look.

Chapter 3 –

Ways to Decorate Your Dining Room When Your

Budget is Tight

We will now look at a number of different ways for decorating a dining room
to give it a whole new lease on life, without breaking the bank.

1. Why not cover the table with some fabric in order to hide any ugly
surfaces? You could then use the colors in the fabric as the basis for
the new décor for the room.

2. The use of inexpensive accessories will help to change the whole

appearance of your dining room. Get some candles and candleholders
in order to provide a different look and feel to your room.

3. Why not make a wall hanging for the room. If you can, purchase some
Chinese posters (these are inexpensive) as they are easy to turn into
wall hangings.

4. Why not see if where you live has a furniture bank. This is where you
can arrange to drop off any old pieces of furniture that you have and
no longer want. Then all you need to do is choose a piece from what
they have there to replace the piece you have donated. You may find
the ideal dining table and chairs that you want for the theme of your
room.

5. The rule of three. Instead of placing items together as even numbered

groups, do it in odd numbered groups instead. Where 2 candlesticks
together look symmetrical, by adding a bowl or another smaller
candlestick holder, you will give the element of surprise. Plus, by
mixing colors and textures in order to form groups of three in a room,
it will provide you with a whole new look also.

6. As previously mentioned, when looking to redecorate your living room,

move the furniture. You can also do this in your dining room. Instead
of the table being horizontal to the walls, why not place it in the room
at an angle (but make sure you have enough space to walk round it).
Also, move any cupboards etc., away from walls, and instead place

Page 10 of 24
 A Guide on Decorating Your Home on a Budget

these in corners of the room at angles. By doing this, you are giving
your dining room a whole new look.

7. Why not build and attach a fold down shelf to one of your dining room
walls? It will certainly make it easier for you when entertaining, and
can be used as a buffet area also.

8. How about giving your dining room cabinets a new lease on life and
paint them to accentuate the color of the room? Check at your local
paint supply store or DIY store, as well as online for advice on how to
paint unusual surfaces.

9. Use a mirror in order to create light and space in your dining room.
Frame one in such a way that it creates a mock window. You could
even use one by placing it behind some artistic belongings in order to
highlight them from all sides.

10. If your dining room chairs are looking a little tired and dated, then
cover them with slipcovers…why not try making some covers yourself?
Why not purchase another tablecloth or two that matches the one you
use for your table, and upholster them in this as well?

11. Finally, why not repaint the room? You do not need to do the whole
room, just paint one or two walls with an accent color. Maybe go for a
color which will accent all the various aspects of the room, and
integrates well with any soft furnishings that you have.

Chapter 4 –

Some Ways to Decorate Your Kitchen on

a Budget

For many people, the thought of redecorating their kitchen can be

frightening. They start thinking that they need to replace everything in
order to get a whole new look. But this they do not need to do, by just
following a few or all of the tips provided below, you should be able to
create something new for next to nothing.

1. Instead of replacing the cabinets in your kitchen, why not repaint them?
There are many techniques around which are easy to learn and will
provide your cabinets with an expensive designer look. Such
techniques as crackling, faux finishing and glazing are not only simple
to do, but will save you money. If you need help on looking for ways to
up date old and tired kitchen cabinets, then take a look on the
internet.

2. Provide your kitchen walls with a new lick of paint. By painting your
walls in warm and inviting colors, you will make the room even more
of the hub of the home. Plus, if you have good quality wooden
cabinets, a new coat of paint will help the wood to appear richer.

3. Why not spend a little of your budget on purchasing some new hand
towels and potholders that will match the color of your new décor?

4. Another simple and easy tip for redecorating your kitchen, and will cost
you nothing, is to get beautiful dishes and glassware out of the
cupboards, and use them to accentuate the kitchen.

5. But a great way of changing the whole décor of your kitchen is by putting
up new curtains. You could try this first before you do anything else.
They will help to create a fresh new look to your kitchen, and they
certainly will not break the bank. Plus, you may well find that just
making this one change will give your kitchen a completely different
look. By changing your curtains, you could actually bring out the
personality of the kitchen with little or no effort on your part.

 A Guide on Decorating Your Home on a Budget

6. Why not use fabric in your kitchen? If you have appliances that you wish
to hide, then using a fabric is a cheap and cost effective way of doing
this. Just get some material that co-ordinates with the décor of your
kitchen, and some wire and hooks, and then just place the fabric in
front of the appliance. Hey, presto, it’s covered up, and the fabric
provides a new dimension to your room. Plus, if it should get dirty, all
you need to do is take it off and put it in the washing machine and
wash it.

7. Why not consider replacing the cabinet doors. There are many
companies around which provided many different designs, colors and
shapes of kitchen cabinet doors. This is a much more cost effective
way of giving your kitchen a whole new look without actually having to
replace the whole cabinet.

8. Also why not just replace the ironmongery on your cabinet doors, and get
new handles? Just by doing this you will be giving your kitchen a
whole new look.

9. One other affordable way of making your kitchen look different is by

adding a kitchen island. They not only provide you with more counter
space, but they provide a place where people can gather. However,
for those of us on a budget, instead of getting a permanent one, why
not instead consider getting a kitchen cart? Because they are on
wheels, when not being used they can be put away, and so leave you
with room in your kitchen.

10. Finally, if your kitchen redecorating budget is so small that you would be
unable to do any of the above. Then why not think about replacing the
backsplash instead. Just by doing this, you can really dress up that
drab and dull kitchen that you have. The great thing about
backsplashes is that they now come in a variety of different colors and
materials, as well as styles. But how much you spend on this will
depend on what material you select for it.

So as you can see, redecorating your kitchen on a budget can be as simple

as just giving the walls a new coat of paint, or changing the existing
hardware or doors on your cabinets. But just by making one small change
to your kitchen you can give it a whole new look.

Bathroom When on a Budget

Before you start thinking about any decorating you would like to do in your
bathroom, you need to make sure that it is in good shape. It is important
that you make sure there are no leaks, and that all the caulking is tight.

You do not want to complete the redecoration of your bathroom, only to find
a leak, and that you will have to completely redecorate after it has been
fixed.

Unfortunately, although the bathroom is one of the easiest and least

expensive to decorate, it is often the most neglected. For many of us,
redecorating our bathroom consists of replacing an old shower curtain with
a new one and that’s it.

But hopefully, using the tips provided below, you should be able produce a
whole new and inviting look to your bathroom.

1. You can make a huge impact on this room by getting rid of any dark
wood and old hardware on cupboards. Just by using some paint and
replacing the handles on the doors, you will give the room a
completely different look.

2. Why not put some plants in your bathroom, as they thrive in such an
environment?

3. Use light. Bright colors will create the illusion of space even in the
smallest of spaces (which many bathrooms are).

4. Change the light fixtures, as the right type of lighting can make a huge
difference to any bathroom.

5. Why not consider replacing the taps to your bath and sinks. Just by
replacing the tired, old looking taps to your bath, you will give it a

6. Instead of buying a new shower curtain, why not instead choose to use
a regular curtain. This can be hung from a tension rod and backed
with a shower curtain liner. Such liners come in a variety of colors
and are inexpensive to buy.

7. Get a few candles. Not only are they attractive, but they instantly add
warmth (even when not lit to a space). Also, there is so much variety
of colors, shapes and sizes of candles available, that I think you will
find it difficult to choose exactly what you want. But it is best if you
buy ones which will co-ordinate with the décor of your bathroom.
Plus, add a few bars of scented soap and your bathroom will soon feel
warm and luxurious.

Some Tips on Redecorating the Master

Bedroom When Finances Are Tight

It really is quite easy to change the look of your bedroom without spending a
fortune. Just using a little creativity on your part will go a long way to
improve the layout, and look, of your haven away from the stresses and
strains of modern life.

1. A good thing to do before your start redecorating your room is to de-

clutter. Unfortunately, many of us tend to use our bedrooms as
dumping grounds because they are away from the public eye. So put
any items that you don’t need away in labeled boxes and store them
either under the bed, in a closet or the garage or loft.

2. Next, why not give the walls a new coat of paint? This is the most
inexpensive way of changing the look of a room, as well as the one
that will have the most impact. You do not even need to paint the
whole room you could just repaint one particular area (that may be in
need of renovation), such as the wall behind the bed. But you do not
even need to change the color; all you need to do is paint on a fresh
coat of the paint that is already there. However, whether you decide
to change the color or use the same color, you will find that the feel of
the room will have changed. You could even consider putting up a
border, or stenciling some designs on to the walls in order to give the
walls a little more life. Both of these ways are inexpensive and will
give any tired old room a new lease of life.

3. Why not have a rummage through your drawers for scarves, tablecloths
or pillowcases that compliment the color scheme of your bedroom?
Such things can be used to soften the top of a dresser or the edge of
your bedside table.

4. By adding scent to your room, you will be changing the way the room
feels. If, however, you do not have any potpourri, then cut up some
orange peel and allow it to dry. Once dry, mix it with whatever sweet
spices you have (say cinnamon, ginger or all spice) and then put it in
an open bowl in your bedroom to freshen it up.

 A Guide on Decorating Your Home on a Budget

5. Get some old baskets and hang them up in nooks and corners of your
bedroom. Not only will they add style to the room, but will provide
you with additional storage space also.

6. A great way to change the look and feel of a bedroom inexpensively is by

buying a new lamp or even just a lampshade. Choose a color and style
that will compliment the décor of your room. Such an item can be
used to accent the color scheme of your room also.

It is important to remember that the bedroom is a place where we spend

much of our downtime. So why not spend a little time making a haven for
yourself which will not break the budget?

Chapter 7 –

How to Decorate the Nursery When Your

Budget is Small

For every new parent, they have a vision of what the perfect nursery should
look like. But really, is there any need for you to spend $2,000 in order to
decorate and furnish a space that, in a couple years, they will have
outgrown? In fact, you do not need to spend a fortune of decorating a
nursery for that new arrival.

In this chapter, we will look at several different ways in which a nursery can
be decorated no matter how small your budget is.

1. Instead of using wallpaper, paint the nursery instead. Why not choose
colors which will co-ordinate with the baby’s toys, rather than going
for the traditional colors? Also, why not invite friends and family
round and get them to dip their hands into a pot of paint and place
their handprints on the wall? They could even sign their names
underneath if they want. Doing it this way, your baby will get to enjoy
a brightly colored room full of contrasting patterns. This is of especial
appeal to young infants. Also, it is an interesting way of introducing
them to those people who will be important in their life as they grow
up.

2. You do not have to be artistically inclined, but if you want, why not add
some stencil designs to the walls? This is inexpensive, as well as an
easy way of adding different elements and features to a baby’s room.
However, it is best to choose stencils which will match the theme of
the room.

3. Where the floor is concerned, make sure that you have a stain resistant
carpet, or just have hardwood floors with some scatter rugs on it. But
if you already have carpet lay and you are worried that it may not
stand up well, then why not get an area rug which will cover and
protect it?

4. When you are decorating a nursery, why not consider buying some pieces
secondhand or used instead? The advantage to this is that you may
find items that are of a higher quality than you would normally

Page 18 of 24
 A Guide on Decorating Your Home on a Budget

purchase. Or it may be you find a vintage piece of furniture, which

you can then refinish to match the décor of the nursery.

5. Why not get an old, beat up chest of drawers, and then paint with a high
gloss paint, and then replace the handles on it?

6. Also, consider buying a piece of furniture that can be used for many
different things. Do not spend money on buying a changing table,
rather, buy yourself a dresser that is about waist high, and sit a
changing mat on top. Then fill the drawers with all your nappy needs.
In order to stop the pad from slipping, place a small bath mat with
rubber backing face down underneath it. Then, once the child is
older, the chest of drawers can be used as it was intended.

7. Instead of spending large amounts of money on buying storage boxes for

your nursery, why not use baskets and shelves instead to store toys
and other infant essentials?

There are many decorating ideas around for nursery and which will save you
money. Hopefully, the ideas above will help you when making decisions on
how to decorate a nursery on a small budget.

Chapter 8 –

A Few Ways for Decorating a Child’s Bedroom

When on a Budget

When starting any project where a child is concerned, it would be a great

idea if you get them involved. What you need to remember is that this is
their room, and you want the space to reflect just who they are and what
they love. So why not grab a pen and some paper (as your child is likely to
come up with 100’s of ideas) and get talking!

1. When decorating a child’s room, choose the wall color carefully. It is

important that you pick a color that matches the theme that you have
chosen to make sure that everything complements and looks like they
belong together.

2. If you want to add a splash of color to a child’s room, and do not want to
repaint, then add a solid colored rug.

3. As curtains can be expensive, why not get a blind instead. Then hang a
sheer panel in front of it. You can also add some color to a sheer panel
so that it further complements the child’s room by painting it with
fabric paints (you could even let your child do it themselves).

4. Why not purchase a new light or lampshade to match the theme? This is
a great way of adding a new look to your child’s room, as well as being
a cost effective way of reducing the light they use in their rooms. Also,
why not just buy a plain lampshade and then get some acrylic paints
and let your child decorate it themselves?

5. If you want to have bedding that will compliment your child’s bedroom,
but can not afford to buy new bedding sets, why not instead buy some
flat sheets (only cost a few dollars and come in a wide range of colors)
and can easily be used for duvet covers by being sewn together? But
not only can you use them to make duvet covers, but also for simple
curtains and pillow cases which will compliment the décor of the room.

6. Also, why not personalize something for their walls? You could make
photographs of them and the family and pets into a collage.

7. Another great way of making their room, and which will not break the
bank, is to create a comfort zone. All you need are some big pillows, or
a plush or inflatable chair. But make sure that it is something your
child will enjoy sitting on and relaxing in. Also, as they will use this
area for reading, then you will need to place some books close by. Do
this by putting some small shelves or some plastic boxes on the side in
the area and putting their books in them.

How to Decorate a Teenager’s Room

When You Have Budget Constraints

If you are the parent of a teenager, sooner or later the subject of

redecorating what has been a child’s room will come up.

A teenager’s room is different from a child’s room in that it should be

treated more like an adult space. But, it should have a slightly fun flair to it
also. It is best if you involve your teenager in coming up with a theme that
will help to express who they are (and not what you want).

Also, when redecorating your teenager’s room, let them choose the colors,
but provide them with some guidance. So why not let them have a look on
the internet and see what they can find?

When redecorating a teen’s room, remember that they are very sensitive to
color, and they are much more free with their sense of adventure. Why not
go for using a bolder color on the wall behind the bed, and in this way you
have a great focal point. Plus, it will save on you having to decorate the
whole room. Also, it means that you can include a color in the room that
they really like and want, but which will not overpower the room completely.

Another way to redecorate your teen’s room when on a tight budget is to

change the window covering. Instead of curtains, why not get them blinds
instead? Because they come in so many different designs, colors and
materials, there is likely to be something that they will like.

Why not get hold of a small table and turn this up into a cool make up vanity
by painting it to match your teenager daughter’s bedroom décor?

Also you could get some colorful bed linens to bring all the elements of the
decorating you have done together. You could even purchase extra sheets,
which can be made into curtains and lampshades that will match the rest of
the décor.

If you can not afford to replace a worn out carpet in your teen’s bedroom,
then opt to have it taken up, and go for low maintenance painted floors with
some throw rugs. Also, why not include some large cushions which they can

Page 22 of 24
 A Guide on Decorating Your Home on a Budget

use when their friends come round? It will provide them with a much more
relaxing and friendly atmosphere for them and a place where they can get
away from it all.

Rather than replacing a perfectly good bed, instead, just get a more adult
like headboard for it instead.

Plus, by rearranging your teen’s furniture in their room, you will be able to
give it a whole new dramatic look. Many successful teen room makeovers
can quickly and easily be accomplished just by changing the layout of a
room. Also, by introducing new accessories and lighting to their room, it
can help to change the look of a teen’s room dramatically.

If you want to make a teen’s room look a little funkier, then pick up some
fringe or beading from a clearance table at the local craft store. You can
then glue this around the bottom edge of the lampshade and the hems of
curtains to provide a new look. You could even glue it around the edges of
shelves.

Why not keep those free CD’s that such people as AOL put in to magazines
etc., and turn them over on to the reverse side and glue them to the frame of
a mirror or to cover a closet door. Another great way is to glue them in an
overlapping fashion and use them as a faux frame for your teen’s posters.

So, as you can see, there are many ways in which a teen’s bedroom can be
redecorated and will not end up costing the parents an arm or a leg.

Conclusion

So if you love decorating, and want to challenge yourself, then the best way
to do this is by doing it on a budget. There is nothing quite like batting
against your impulses in order to purchase everything you need so that you
stay within your budget.

However, saying that, decorating on a budget can be fun and if you learn to
relax and keep away from the more expensive items, you should find it easy
to do.

One of the biggest challenges faced by anyone when decorating on a budget

is to stay within their budget constraints. So before you start the work,
make a plan and stick to that plan, and this will help you with staying on
budget.

But should you happen to spend more than you anticipated on one particular
item, then you should remove something else from your list. This will then
help to get you back on track where your budget is concerned.
