Since when does home decorating have to cost a ton of money? It is possible to decorate with artwork that was not created just for your home. Who says that a well decorated home has to follow one idea or theme? Many families find that using more than one color scheme is a great idea. Lots of families are able to create beautiful homes on a tight budget. You can easily create a full decorating scheme without having to spend multiple paychecks to get everything you want. Creating a beautiful home is no longer the realm of paid decorators. Following the tips in this article will help you save money when you want to decorate your home.
Ignore the expensive galleries. It isn't important that you get a bunch of original art work right away. Instead look for prints of your favorite works of art. Prints are less expensive than original works of art. Prints are more affordable and they are easier to get home. Prints are even easier to frame than original paintings-you can do the framing yourself (which helps save money)! All you have to do is find a frame that you like at a sale and you can do the framing yourself. You can do this on the weekend or the evenings and you won't have to worry about rushing to pick up your art before the framer closes and you won't have to worry about how you are going to afford that painting you love so much by your favorite artist. If owning an unique piece of art is very important to you, make that piece of art yourself! Can you think of a better way to fill your home with original art than to make it yourself? No matter how much you spend on the supplies you'll need to make your own art, it will still be less than decorating using other peoples' original work. You can make your own art in your spare time, you don't have to do it all at once. Decorating your home can be something the whole family takes part in! Get your kids to create their own artwork for their own rooms. If you are new to art, check a few instructional books or videos out of the library to help you get started. Then, when someone comes over and says "wow, who did that great painting?" You can say proudly "I did!"
Your local newspaper has a classifieds section and most towns have their own Craigslist-make use of those. There is always someone selling decorations through the classifieds (online or off). Some simple surfing could you net you enough to decorate your whole home in just a matter of a few hours. You could even save time by placing your own ad listing the types of decorative items you are looking for. This can save you lots of time because then people can come to you with what they're selling. Don't forget to be careful! Before finishing the purchase be sure to inspect each item you are thinking of buying.
The key to decorating your home is to keep yourself in check. Just because a piece of art is expensive doesn't mean that it is better than something else. 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! Get inventive! Even a wicker basket filled with pine cones from the back yard can be decorative! Slow and steady wins the race in decorating and will often keep you from overspending!
