Decorating a room can be tricky, especially if you have no idea where' to start or on a budget. You don’t or maybe can’t afford an interior designer to spice up the looks. Moreover, buying pricy art isn’t necessarily the solution. You can leverage your current items and find simple and affordable things to freshen up the look. Here are simple tricks on how to decorate a room without breaking your bank or back.
Declutter
Now is a perfect time if you’ve been meaning to purge some items. You have lots of stuff you no longer need, which could be hiding some gems in a room. Review the room, consider what no longer tickles your fancy, and get rid of them. You can sell and raise a few bucks or donate following the condition. Freeing up some space can open your eyes to certain things you didn’t imagine would go into a room. You’ll discover a more decorative and functional way to bring in new things, perhaps even a piece of furniture you spotted but didn’t see how to fit in the room.
Organize
Organizing a room can be a painful experience, but with the right approach, a breeze. Whether with young kids or pets, you can up your organization skills by having a strategy. Containers, shelves, and wall-mounted hooks can make the process easy; it is easy to keep the toys in their place and items like hats and scuffs off the chair. The organization hacks can also work as functional and decorative measures with strategic positioning. Those scuffs hanging close to a piece of art can up the looks. Toy shelves close to the TV also spice up the room, allowing leveraging the simple thing at hand for decoration.
More life
A single plant can add life to a room and brighten the space. If you haven’t considered it for the health benefits, including improving the indoor air quality, go for it for the decorative element. A plant decoration works best if it is strategically positioned. You can pick a huge centerpiece or a few smaller pieces and place them in different spots. Your creativity is the only limit as you choose plants. The general rule; pick easy plants following your schedule, ensuring you can easily maintain and keep them alive and vibrant.
Furniture game
Playing around your furniture is the oldest and still a valuable decoration trick. Your current arrangement works; the traffic flow is seamless, but you’ve added more items from how it all started. Now is an opportune moment to move them around. That big couch can take center stage, with armchairs on either side. That stand blocking the full window view can be moved to a different space, bringing more light while making the window a more decorative piece.
Illusion of space
Decorating a room can be daunting, especially if the space is not that generous. Creating the illusion of space is an incredible hack, which you can quickly achieve by installing mirrors. Mirrors also improve illumination, a bonus that can up the decorative effect. With more light in the room and the illusion of space, the room becomes livelier and comfy.
Lighting
You’ve meant to upgrade the lighting to a more energy-efficient option; why not kill two birds with one stone? Changing the bulbs will lower your energy bills, and considering the fixtures while there and spicing up the lighting scheme will up the decorative effect. Get creative with the ambient, task, accent, and decorative lighting. You have many options to explore, from flush/semi-flush mount, pendant, chandelier, track, and recessed lighting. The only limit is how far you can go to up the lighting scheme following your taste and style.
The framed TV
Swap the frame TV, transforming the set into a decorative piece. When the TV is on, it is business as usual. When off, the decorative art comes to life, displaying a work you enjoy. With modern options, you want more, including light sensors that adjust the skill to match the rest of the room and décor. It is a brilliant decorative hack that can spice up your room with little effort.
Throw pillows
Your couch is getting dull by the day. You can change this by investing in a few colourful throw pillows. They add colour and warmth to the couch and the whole room. From floral prints to bold and bright shades, throw pillows offer a quick decorative makeover to your couch, a valuable hack more so it is the focal piece.
Wallpaper
Peel and stick wallpapers don’t cost much and are easy to install. You don’t have to put wallpaper in the entire room. Pick one wall, perhaps that blank space you can’t seem to figure out what would work best on it and cover it with eye-catching wallpaper. It could become the focal point or use a shade and pattern that complements the rest of the décor.
Rugs
Your carpeted or tiled floor looks great, but throwing in a rug can transform the space. Rugs add warmth and can help emphasize those décor pieces or ground them to create a seamless look.
While considering decorative hacks to improve a room, art is on top of most people’s minds. While the art pieces work like a charm, you can also consider other hacks highlighted above for better results. The simple and affordable approaches can guide you to buying your next art piece considering the space you’ll free up and the theme that comes to life.
