If there is one thing that most of us can agree on it is that decorating a home can quickly become expensive. It is easy to get carried away with your "vision" for your home and forget to watch your spending. Don't worry too much if you don't have a lot of money to use on your home decorating project. Thankfully there are plenty of ways to decorate that don't involve spending major dollars.
You definitely want to visit a thrift store. Thrift stores and second hand stores are great for people who want to create a new decorating scheme but don't have a big budget to do so. You can find lots of decorations and other items to use in your decorating scheme, you just have to learn to recognize them. Most thrift store finds only need a little "tlc" and they can quickly become beautiful decorative items. Those funny looking clothes that you often laugh at while browsing through thrift stores can easily be turned into other things. The best donated items can be found in bigger cities or wealthy neighborhoods.
The faster you decorate in the beginning the more likely it is that you'll want to redecorate in a few months time. Taking your time with your decorating will allow you to be picky about what you use to decorate your home. It is also easier to create a cohesive theme when you start with just a few pieces.
Don't fill a space just because you can. When you let your decorative items have the space they deserve they'll be easier to truly see. Smashing a bunch of photos and paintings on a wall might seem like a good idea, but you'll just crowd out your favorite pieces and make it hard to enjoy any of your decorations at all. White space is necessary for the decorating scheme to be complete. Experienced decorators will tell you that it is okay to leave some space free in every room.
Using only selected pieces will help those pieces stand out more. Many people find it easier to live in a home that is not overly decorated. It is hard to sit and enjoy your dcor when you have too much of it to look at. A little bare space is necessary in any decorating scheme. Any good artist can tell you that the first thing any artist learns is to not be afraid of "white" space.
This was Julia Child's favorite way to use her kitchen ware. Everybody has a quilt taking up space in a closet somewhere. Why not hang it up on the wall so everyone can see it? Who says that quilts and blankets only belong on beds and couches? Are there any other practical items that you can use to decorate?
Getting a bargain when you decorate your home is possible. As long as you remind yourself over and over that "newer" is not necessarily "better" you can find plenty of specials on home dcor. When you're open to using "used" things for your home decorating you open yourself up to fantastic possibilities. Once in a while you'll realize that you don't need to buy a single thing. If you're creative you can simply turn something you find on sale into something totally new. Bargains are everywhere if you know how to look for them. Take your time and really search. You should be able to decorate your home affordably with no problems!
