Ahhh Spring, you can smell it in the air. For most of us, it is time for new beginnings, that lends to the usual activities cleaning, organizing and redecorating.
Keeping budget in mind, we put together. Decorating on a Budget - The top three biggest bangs for your buck.
Painting: Cover your plain white or builder beige walls with a coat of paint. A great way to choose a color it to take a color out of a pattern on a throw or cushion that is already in the room. You can pick up a gallon of paint for around $40. If you want to save a little more money, at the hardware store, you can ask for their mis-tints (colors that were tinted wrong and the customer didn't want it), these are usually clearing our for $10 or more dollars less than regular price. Remember to prime first.
Art: Once those walls are painted add a little art to your wall. A perfect solution is a vinyl wall graphic from PAINTLESS design. We have just added a few new, contemporary designs like Wispy Vine or the Winding Vine . Designs are priced between $19.99 - $49.99.
Accessories: Splurge with one wow accessory, like a lamp, pillow or high quality silk flowers. Pier 1, HomeSense, and Winners always have a discount area of the store, where you can pick up accessories for up to 40% below the full price.
If you can, take before and after pictures to share with family and friends.
