In this article, we present three simple home decorating strategies, including an affordable accent decorating style like an area rug to give an instantly chic look to your home! Moreover, all our ideas take less than a day to completely style your home!
First, decorate with a clean slate. This means that you need to organize your place first before embarking on a decorating project. A neat, uncluttered space will give you a better view of the areas you want or need to enhance.
The first technique you can apply is to make your own slipcovers. You can use your favorite or preferred colors and find a suitable fabric. You can make your own covers for the ottomans, throw pillows, seat covers, etc. With the right colors and texture, you'll change how a room looks right away.
Also, be creative with your decorations and furniture. Decorating can be affordable with some ingenuity. An ottoman for example can look brand new with a new slipcover. You don't have to buy a new stool. A fabric with a nice color and texture can add appeal even to an old piece.
Throw pillows, drapes, vases, chairs and other decors can look stunning even with the simplest of materials. Spice up a plain-looking throw pillow with beads. Tie the drapes with a pretty ribbon. Cover the chairs with some nice fabric, gently draped over in a chic style. Place an area rug in the center of the room or hang one with an intricate design on the wall. These items can be bought at a cheap price at a discount store or a thrift shop. With a good eye for style, you can buy great finds without spending much.
Another great way to renovate a room is through DIY methods of making accessories. Did you know that post-its could be made into a wall covering? Those cute, colorful memo pads that we scribble notes on can be a real gem for home decorating. In a snap, you'll be giving a room bright color without having to paint at all!
Finally, use good skirting to do up your bedroom in a striking manner with a wide range of textures, prints and materials these can easily be purchased from your favorite discount home decor store. Complement the shades of these with a matching area rug or a throw rug on your easy chair for an instant makeover to any space!
