Smart Splurges, Stylish Savings: Home Decor on a Budget

When your space is starting to get stale, redecorating is a great way to give your living area a fresh and personalised look. The issue: home decor can get pretty expensive. Fortunately, there are lots of ways to find home decor on a budget while still achieving the style you want. Here are some tips for decorating on a budget:

Start with a Plan

Don’t start going wild on online shopping, plan out your ideas. Decide what changes you want to make and what price range you’re sticking with. Having a plan will help you stay focused and avoid impulse buys that can blow your budget.

Second-hand Shopping

Thrift stores, op shops, and online marketplaces are fantastic places to find home decor items. Plus they’re a fraction of the cost of new items! You can often find furniture, home decor, and artwork that are just what you’re looking for and still in great condition.

Repurpose Old Items

If you’re creative, you can breathe new life into items you already have to create new home decor. Try using an old ladder as a bookshelf or turn your old chest of drawers into a bathroom vanity. Not only are you saving money, but you’ll be creating unique items that no one else has!

Paint

Paint is one of the more budget-friendly ways to give a new look to an old room. You could paint some furniture to give it a new shine or paint the whole room! You can also use wall decals, wallpaper, or stencils to add a unique touch.

Learn to Accessorise

Items like throw pillows, curtains, rugs, and wall art can be the finishing touches to a room. Accessorising is a fun way to add colour and personality to your space.

If you plan ahead, shop smart and get creative, you can find beautiful and personalised home decor on a budget.
