When it comes to decorating your home, it doesn’t have to cost a fortune to create a fresh, beautiful space. Many people avoid decorating because they feel it’s often a mammoth task that’s going to break the bank, but even the smallest of decorative tweaks can make a huge difference to the way your home looks and feels. From a fresh lick of paint to some new furniture pieces, the following post will help inspire you and highlight exactly how you can decorate your home whilst working with a budget.
It’s very easy to overlook the hardware in the home, especially when it’s damaged or in desperate need of replacement. You’d be amazed just how much of an impact hardware such as door handles, knobs and cabinet pulls have on the overall look of a room, which is why updating them can be such a beneficial thing to do.
There are many classic hardware pieces in the ironmongery market, featuring a selection of quality materials to bring character and style to the home, so it’s all about finding the right style for your interiors. Take a look online at GJohns for some inspiration for your own home, as you’re looking to find the right colour, material and style. The great thing about updating your hardware for some chic, classic pieces is that it doesn’t have to cost a lot, yet you’re transforming the whole space. Whether it’s the kitchen cabinets or the doors in every room, you can create a fresh new look by simply making this small change.
From the moment you enter the living room or bedroom, you’re greeted by the largest piece of furniture in the room whether that’s the sofa or bed. In order to really make these features pop and stand out, you want to invest in some quality cushions and throws to draw the whole aesthetic of the room together and finish off the décor perfectly.
The beauty of cushions and throws is that, if you do some proper searching and look in the right places you can find some incredible pieces, made from beautiful fabrics at very affordable prices. The moment you add these pieces to your furniture the whole area will come to life and instantly draw the eye, which is exactly what you want to achieve. Have a little nosey online here to see what kind of styles are currently trending and on offer, as well as looking on Pinterest for some inspiration to see how you can introduce cushions and throws to your interiors.
One of the easiest and most effective ways of transforming a room, especially when you’re working with a smaller space, is to introduce a mirror. Having a mirror in the room isn’t just ideal for everyday use, but it also helps to reflect the natural light around the room making it feel brighter, open and inviting. Mirrors are perfect for making a smaller space feel larger, as well as brightening up the space in an instant.
With so many stunning mirrors available, you can find the perfect style for the room in question, whether that’s a chic mirror above the fireplace in the living room, a full-length mirror in the bedroom or even a smaller mirror in the hallway.
If you’re one of those people who like to switch things up every now and then, this is the task for you. By adding a fresh lick of paint to a room, whether you’re changing the colour completely or simply touching up the existing paint, you can add a breath of fresh air to the space and make it feel refreshed and welcoming. A fresh lick of paint goes a very long way, especially when working with a budget, so if you’re looking for an efficient décor update it’s time to get the paintbrush out!
