Getting the Greatest Impact From Your Decorating Budget
By Aja Klenna
 
When you set out to decorate your space, it's important to have a decorating budget to guide you. Whether you are remodeling a whole room or simply adding a window treatment to a room, there are ways that you can have your decorating dollars work really hard for you, which is a great way to stay well within your budget.
 
Painting
One of the most effective and economical ways to change the look of a room is to simply repaint it. Painting is easy, effective and affordable. Simply decide what kind of vibe you want your room to have, and get yourself a can of paint and a roller. You can make your room feel grounded with neutrals, calming with blues and greens and energized with reds and yellows. The great thing about paint is that you can paint just about anything. You can paint virtually any kind of furniture, and you can even paint fabric. So think about using paint to update your furniture or even just to make it feel a little more cohesive in your room.
 
Sewing
Another way that you can stay within your decorating budget is to get out your sewing machine. If you keep your eyes open for good sales at your fabric store, you can pick up the perfect fabric, sometimes for just a couple of dollars. Then look at making some new covers for your throw pillows. Add a pop of color to your window treatments. You may even be able to make a slip cover for your couch. You can also change the look of something that you already have by simply embellishing it. Sew a ribbon trim to your tablecloth, add buttons for trim on your curtains, and add lace to your bathroom towels for an affordable, custom update for your decor.
 
Shopping
A great decorating resource when you are trying to keep decorating costs down is your local thrift store. Look for accessories and even furniture to help complete the look of your room. The great thing about thrift stores is that they are constantly getting in new things to sell, and you never know when something great is going to show up. Sometimes you find the perfect piece of furniture that simply needs a quick coat of paint or some new hardware to be just right for your space. You can also find fun details for your room like picture frames or a beautiful tapestry to hang on the wall.
 
Personal
As you are decorating your space, make sure to include that unique element that makes the room yours. Whether it is the colors that you choose to include in the room, the style of the furnishings or simply the way you assemble your pieces, make sure that there is an element of you in the room when you are finished.
