INTERIOR DECORATING IDEAS
For Energizing Your Home!!
Wherever you live ... no matter the size, location or style of your home, any type of interior decorating ideas should be thoughtfully matched with the lifestyle you now live and the environment you want with the time you have available
and, of course, your budget.
Expensive remodeling projects are nice, but anyone can
really jazz up their home in easy and affordable ways
simply by redecorating.
Some projects might take a little bit of time and might be a bit labor intensive, but one or two people can change the entire look of a home in a very short period of time. Before you know it, you can have that "magazine-ready," perfectly decorated home without taking out that second mortgage!
Cheap interior decorating ideas have always been around, but these uncertain times seem to bring out the penny pincher in all of us. And yard sales, discount stores, and second-hand retailers can be great ways to jazz up your place and make it sparkle. Funky printed pillows found at a garage sale or an estate sale can add energy to any room. Pairing them with curtains in the same basic colors but in vastly different patterns can make a great contemporary living room, or even bedroom.
For interior decorating ideas relating to your kitchen and the dining area, mismatched plates and bowls, which you can collect from a variety of places such as second-hand stores or even dollar stores, can create a bold, unique and even a slightly whimsical style. For the more formal tastes, you can find your decorating ideas in the same places. Plain black table decorations and sparse art can actually make the room look more formal even if you think it looks less put together. For a more traditional look, you may want to focus on the furniture and their groupings. Peruse yard sales, free stuff web sites, salvage yards, furniture liquidators and junk shops.
Your bedroom should be one of the most important and private places in your home. While used bed linens aren't always a good idea, remember that discount stores have excellent patterns you can blend into any decor. An entire wall of fabric, as labor intense as that sounds, is inexpensive, fun and will absolutely change the room. Going to the fabric section in a store, instead of the linen section, can give you much more of a choice.
Curtains are easy to make out of fabric (if you iron the hem together with iron-on strips), and even a swatch of fabric thrown over a door or across a chair can make a statement. Also, in the bedroom, relaxation is important. Consider turning an unused corner into a personal space, with a comfortable second hand (cheap) chair, a small table (the one you were going to throw away covered with the same fabric you used for the drapes?), and a simple lamp. This will create a very personal and engaging look for even the most ho-hum bedroom.
There are also home interior decorating ideas that you can bring to the nursery. Most parents want their children to have beautiful, safe, nurturing nurseries, and you can make this happen on any budget. Having a friend—or you, yourself—paint a simple wall mural, such as a tree, clouds, starry sky or just bright colors across the walls or ceiling of the nursery can have an amazing affect.
For a more "standard" nursery, you can find second-hand furniture and refinish it yourself to give it that special glow. Germ inhibiting paint is available at some paint stores, too, and with a mindset of "safe and nurturing" while leaving the creativity to you you'll simply have a blast. You can choose pieces that don't match quite yet, and refinish them so they do.
Art prints make fantastic interior decorating ideas for any room of your home. They don’t have to be expensive either, or even real art. Try your hand at a blank canvas. Just pick the colors or style that you'd like to have in a room, and let your imagination take over. Who knows ... you may find your "calling" for just the cost of some paint and a blank canvas.
For a really wild decorating idea, why not consider FRAMED CAT COASTERS!! These beautiful original artworks can be purchased with a frame that holds from one to four tiles for that unique visual experience! Personalized tile coasters made from your photos are also available."
