How do you decorate on a limited budget?
A limited budget means that decorating is often last on the to-do list. Here are the best ways to add home decor without breaking the bank:
- Keep it simple: invest in decor pieces that are versatile and simple in colour and style. This means you can use them across several house rooms if needed.
- Opt for function and style: all of your decor pieces should have an element of function to them as well, such as decorative bookends or a candle.
- Keep large items neutral: play with colour all you like when decorating with knick-knacks and smaller decor items. But it’s important to keep furniture simple and neutral to stay classic and timeless.
How can I make my living room attractive?
The best way to improve your living room style is by getting experimental! Invest in quality decor pieces and furniture items you know will work together, and add a new element that stands out as a focal point. This could be done with wallpaper or a funky set of cushions.
