How to Decorate Your House for Cheap
Tip #1: Use What You Already Have
If you are starting from scratch this tip will not apply to you. For those of you who do already have some home decor, however, find a way to use what you have!
You might be looking for design tips because you don’t love the way your home is already designed, but maybe you just need to switch up your decor placement.
Don’t get sucked into buying new decor just because you are bored with how you are currently styling your items.
Get creative with the decor items you already have by mixing and matching them with other decor items around your home.
Move around your throw pillows, drape a throw blanket from the living room across the end of your bed, use a tray from your kitchen to hold your hand soap and other decor items in the bathroom, etc!
You can also search websites such as Pinterest for your decor style to see if any of the items you already have are featured.
Tip #2 Thrifted Home Decor
Thrift stores can be a great place to find home decor on a budget.
We love shopping for items such as mirrors, picture frames, decor books, baskets, kitchenware, and more!
Any piece of decor that fits my style and is easy to clean is a yes for me at the thrift store.
Depending on the thrift stores in your area you may even be able to find furniture in good condition, or easily flippable.
That brings us to our next tip..
Tip #3 Give Your Furniture a Makeover
Whether you’ve found the perfect furniture piece secondhand or you have old furniture pieces in need of an update, consider a makeover!
Depending on the piece of furniture, you might be able to transform the look and vibe with just paint or stain.
Before discarding old furniture, consider giving the piece a refresh to better fit your style.
Similarly, when shopping for furniture, don’t count out affordable pieces if they aren’t the right color.
Tip #4 Shop Home Decor Sales
When decorating a space, you might prefer to mix vintage and new pieces.
This means you can shop at secondhand stores for some things, but you will also likely have to shop for new decor pieces as well.
One of the best ways to save money when shopping for new home decor is to save the items you love, then wait for a sale!
If you shop at stores like Target, World Market, and other online retailers, there will likely be only sales pretty regularly.
Waiting for the items you love to go on sale can be risky if the quantity is low, but it can also save you lots of money over the long run.
By now you should have lots of ideas on how to decorate your home on a budget!
