Feng Shui your furniture! Most people don't know that a simple rearranging of their furniture can be all it takes to give a room a whole new look. A book on Feng Shui or a home d?cor magazine might give you more than enough ideas for this type of project. Your couch does not have to live at the edge of the room-move it closer to the middle! Don't leave your bed where it is-move it to another wall or put it in the corner. Take the focus of your family away from the television set. Let the television be optional instead of mandatory. Use decorative countertop containers for your kitchen utensils instead of leaving them in drawers. A little rearranging is sometimes all you need to create a whole new look. Put up some new paint. The idea behind painting in new colors is to use neutral tones for the majority of your walls so that other things will stand out. When you paint the majority of your home in neutral tones it is easier to choose your decorative items because you won't have to worry about anything clashing with the wall. Painting a single wall in a brighter color is a good idea as well. These are called accent walls and they are very popular right now. Using this decorating method saves you time (you only have to paint one wall) and cost effective (you don't have to buy as much paint). Using accent walls means that when you decide you want a color scheme change you only have to paint a single wall instead of having to re-paint your whole room (or whole house).
Flickr and stock photo sites are great for photography fans who want to cheaply obtain photos to use for decorations. Using the photos you find on a site like Flickr is easy-most are uploaded with the intent that they will be used-simply save them and print them with your own desktop printer or have them professionally printed at a print shop. Decorating your house with a ton of awesome photography can be as easy as find and print and for only the cost of some color prints at your local print shop. Using your own photos is another way to decorate with photography. There's a ton of affordable and free photo editing software that you can use to touch up your own photos so you can have them printed. Editing your own photos is fun and it can save money.
The key to decorating your home is to keep yourself in check. Price isn't everything-inexpensive items are just as good as expensive items. Be careful when you start looking through galleries and exhibits. Remember to plan around the decorations you already have when you begin your project. You probably already have stuff in your home that you love and want to use! Use your imagination! Why not repaint a few old mixing bowls and use them decoratively around the house? Take your time to consider your options and then ask yourself "is there a cheaper way to get the same effect?"
