Thrift Shops and Flea Markets:
Know when to splurge on a piece and when you can get away with a bargain. Thrift stores and flea markets provide great alternatives where you can purchase unique pieces for less. In the picture below although the pieces are older they add a rustic feel. When mixed with newer and feminine pieces you achieve a stylish balance.
Painting Furniture:
Painting an old piece of furniture can add new life to a room. Have a look at my previous post on antiquing as this also provides a great and affordable way to change up the look of old furniture. If you are going for a posh and modern feel try adding a glossy black coat of paint to existing furniture.
Do It Yourself Artwork:
Artwork can be expensive so instead of buying get
creative! Collages made from wrapping paper or wallpaper scraps can add visual
interest to a room and are affordable. If you want a bigger challenge you could try
painting a canvas with left over paint from a previous project. Place your homemade art in frames and
brighten up your space!
Accessorize with standing floor vases, plump floor cushions and pillar candles. These items have an elegant feel to them and will add an expensive feeling to any room. A little accessorizing goes a long way! Read more about accessorizing your home here.
Use Black and White:
Decorate with black and white as these colours never go out of style. When you combine black and white your space will look dramatic and give the feel that the price tag was much higher than the actual cost! You cannot go wrong with this classic colour scheme.
