Decorate On A smaller Budget Tip #2

It can be quite costly to do up every room in your house in country style. To save some dollars, here are some ways to go about it without too much expense.

1) Decide on what is the most important item for each room and spend the bulk of your budget on these items. And if well chosen, the furniture will stand out and give character to the room.


2) Paint the walls of the rooms in neutral colours like white or cream. It will be easier to accessorize the room and the home furnishing items will stand out more against a clean background.

3) If you prefer not to have plain looking walls, use stencils and sponge instead of using of expensive wallpapers.


4) Opt to go without curtains to save on expensive curtain fabrics. To make the window view a little more country, go over the window aluminium frame with glossy white paint.


5) Paint the door frames white to give a more country look too.

6) Shop for old furnitures and other home furnishing items at the many on-going sales or at garage sales. The damaged parts can be covered with paint or some country cloth.

7) By simplifying the interior of the house you can keep the budget to a minimal. The rooms will also have a cleaner and fresher look. Add more character by selecting inexpensive yet functional small furnishing items like those from Kales Closet.
