Budget friendly design

I'm handing over the reins  today to Tom Smith writing about a favourite decorating topic - practical suggestions for decorating on a budget.



When designing your home and choosing different pieces to incorporate into the space , it can be expensive to add new furnishings , rugs , and features. Although it can be costly to purchase new decor , there are several ways to stay within your budget and limit the amount that you spend. With DIY crafts and by shopping at discount locations , it's easy to create an interior that feels like home.


Shop for Used Furniture

Antique accessories can add character to the decor and allow it to look more expensive with hand-picked items that are unique. Opt for mixing different types of metals for a modern style , which can include gold bookends or silver candlestick holders. You can also dress up a bare corner with an antique tricycle or decorate a fireplace mantle with old statues.




 Incorporate Baskets



Allow your home to feel cozy with baskets that can be used throughout every area. Baskets are not only functional for organizational purposes , but also add a decorative element for a rustic and chic style. Use a dip-dyed basket to hold shoes by the front door or a wicker basket in the living room to store throws and blankets. You can also fill in blank spaces on bookcases and consoles with old baskets for an affordable product that can hold goods.
