It's always smart to start with the basics of home decor and build the room from there–more budget-friendly too. But first, be sure to read through these tips so you don't start too many projects at once. (Been there too!)Giving a room a fresh paint color can provide a welcome change, and it can be so dramatic that you might not want to overhaul the whole room after all. For professional results, check out our DIY tips on painting like a pro.
To accent that new color, add a piece of art that you love, or select a wall sticker that ties in with the room's theme. Vinyl wall decals are easy to apply, no tools needed. Simply measure the space, choose your color, and order! Wall Decor Plus More has a huge selection of quality wall stickers, from kitchen quotes to bath & laundry wall art.
Yearning for new furniture but the budget says 'no'? How about a slipcover? Surefit.com has some great ones at reasonable prices. Bed Bath & Beyond and Walmart offer these too. You can also brighten up that dull sofa with a colorful new throw pillow or two. If you're handy, you can recover an old one yourself–a budget-approved way to get a new, custom look. Get creative!

For a fresh accent, hang a lush green plant or set out a colorful pot or bouquet of flowers to renew your space. And be sure you have plenty of space–clearing out clutter will give you the clean canvas you need to create a new look. In fact, decluttering might even add to your decorating funds if you have items to sell or trade–a surefire way to get a new look that even your budget will have to love!
Happy decorating!
