Changing the décor of a room does not necessarily require a lot of money but a different approach and outlook along with creativity can transform the place. The idea is to bring in a change and making the place look inviting. There are many ways to transform a room within a budget. Instead of buying new furniture we can think of creatively transforming the old ones to give it a new and different look. We can spice up the place and change the look with things that we have bought and collected over the years. With little imagination and creativity, we can change the style and bring in new changes within a limited budget. Getting rid of things and recycling the old ones can help to bring in changes and make the place look spacious and inviting.
Painting the walls
One of the best ways to change a room is either by changing the colors of the wall or repainting them in a multitude of colors. Adding color to the room will make it look alive again. We can create fascinating effects on the room by mixing various colors. In fact, apart from the wall, there are other things also in the room which can be transformed with adding color to it. There are cabinets and furniture also which can be repainted or polished to bring out the shine on them.
There are many varieties of wallpaper which are available in the markets with different patterns which can be used. Wallpaper is durable and easy to maintain and clean in the long run.
Rearrange the furniture
We can transform and change the look of a room and make it look striking by rearranging or changing the look of the furniture. We do not need to spend money to buy new pieces of furniture. We can creatively find ways of recycling them by either transforming them or repainting them. A new coat of paint or polish can change the look of the furniture instantly. Even changing the angle of the furniture to a different place can give the room a different and new look.
The sofas, cabinets, dining table and chairs can be redone with the paint and varnish to give it a totally new look. Adding accessories like candles and vases with other centerpieces and changing the curtains gives the place a new look. Adding a decorative bookshelf in the corner with some show pieces can make the place look eye-catching.
Changing the Upholstery
There are so many things in the room like sofas, chairs, rugs, curtains, cushion and more, which can look striking when their fabrics and upholstery are changed. Pastel and white colors make the place look fresh and clean in a subtle way. Red color gives a bold statement to the room. Changing the styles and giving it a vintage look with different texture and fabric add to the artistic feel to the place. Bringing in new textures and textiles is a dramatic way to add color to the place. Putting in rugs in the rooms with patterns and different colors, give the place an aesthetic look.
Adding Greenery
Plants add color and freshness to the room and give brighten the place up instantly. We can add fresh flowers from the garden in vases which brings freshness to the room and breathes some life into the place. We can even put in artificial outdoor plants in the room which gives it a natural look. Artificial vines falling from the cabinets or countertops give the place a tropical look. The fake tree stumps for sale in the markets can be used as stools for seating. Artificial cactus can be used as decoration pieces in the living room. The artificial foliage does not require much maintenance and is easy to take care in the long run.
Add a Photo Gallery
Photo galleries look very inviting and fill the room with memories. Utilizing a bare wall or a corner are creative ways to use them and cover them with pictures and artwork. The photo frames can be in various sizes and shapes with personal family photographs to children’s artwork, that can change the dynamics of the room entirely. These frames can even be propped up on cabinets or countertops. The blank walls can be revamped with the photo frames and artwork which will change the look of the place entirely. Even a large size mirror on the wall in the room can become the focal point of display in the room which can change the total outlook of the room.
Improve the lighting
Good lighting in a room can change the look of the room and make it look spectacular. If the lighting is not up to the mark it can make the place look depressing and gloomy. Putting in pretty chandeliers or different flashes of light can give the place a new look. The lights placed strategically above the pictures on the wall or a beautiful table lamp placed on the cabinets gives the room an aesthetic look. Putting a floor lamp in the dark corner of the room can add to the glory of the décor in the room and gives the place a fascinating look.
It is important to think out of the box to revamp a place within a budget. It brings out our creativity and makes us think of ways to improvise, within a budget. Sometimes all we need to do is to realign the furniture and arrange it in a different way which changes the total configuration of the room. Changing the handles or knobs of the cabinets or doors in bold colors brings in a class and color to the place. Bold colors or neutral ones can change the total outlook of the place and give it a new look.
At the end of the day when our work gets appreciated and the place looks inviting and attractive, we can feel proud, since the place reflects our ideas and style and has been creatively done up within a pocket-friendly budget.
