Great-looking décor doesn’t always have to cost an arm and a leg. With some cool money-saving décor hacks, you can give your home an instant décor upgrade at no cost at all! Don’t believe us? Here are some home décor tips that won’t burn a hole in your pocket and give your home a brand new look!
1. Move the Living Room Furniture Away From the Walls
This is a mistake that many homeowners make, and is one that is easy to fix. When all the living room furniture is pushed against the walls, the area in the centre looks vast and empty, and makes it difficult for your guests to hold an intimate conversation! Try creating smaller conversation areas, such that group your sofas and chairs so that they face each other. You can create a common theme if you like – for instance, the living room below is designed with an eye on sustainable, natural materials.
2. Create a Focal Point in the Room
Your room should be designed around a focal point that balances and anchors the space. If there is no focal point, or if there are too many focal points, the décor seems confusing and cluttered. Sometimes the focal point is there even without even trying. For instance, your room could have a beautiful view from the windows. If there isn’t one, it is easy enough to create it. You can hang artwork above your bed and pile it high with cushions, or create an accent wall in a striking colour that draws attention.
3. Add Bright Pops of Colour
A bland, unimaginative colour palette can make your room look dull and lacking in vitality. Add punch to a settee with some bright cushions, or pick out some colourful pouffes to inject pops of colour in the room. Colourful curtains, upholstery, picture frames or cabinet shutters can brighten up your room and make it look vibrant. Choosing common colours will unify the look and tie your decor together.
4. Add Mirrors
Mirrors create an illusion of depth and space in your room and make it appear larger than it is. When placed near a window, the mirror reflects the natural light and brightens up the entire room. A full-length mirror can be kept on the floor, leaning against the wall, as an interesting décor element. Make sure you choose a frame that goes well with your room décor.
5. Add Greenery
This decor fix comes the easiest. Indoor plants add a lively touch to the dullest, most boring spaces and give the room an instant pick-me-up. You can place plants on tabletops, hang them from the ceiling in macramé plant holders, or simply put them in pots on the floor. You can create an interesting grouping of plants to add visual interest.
