Tips to Decorate Your New Home on a Tight Budget

[Joe Griffith]

If you have bought a new home and are planning on moving in soon then
read on. After spending your hard earned money on buying the perfect
house, decorating it can be expensive especially when on a tight
budget. Putting your own style and decor would be pleasing and less
expensive rather than hiring a professional to design your house.
Few things to keep in mind before getting in your old furniture or
buying new ones are:
The dimensions of each room like the living room, bedroom, the
kitchen, etc. have to be measured along with their window space. Once
that is in order, the next thing on the agenda would be to wall paper
or paint the house. If it is newly constructed you should not have
this problem but if you are the second owner then you might want to do
it. Lighting is also important at this point. Only selected old
furniture that is presentable and useful to you should be brought in,
otherwise it would be better to discard it before entering the new
home.
Living room: Maybe the old sofa can be brought in with the side tables
and the television. Curtain and rugs would accentuate the room and if
you have to buy them, to fit the place, big prints are more advisable.
An artificial flower arrangement with big bright flowers on one corner
or on the mantel would make the room look elegant and pleasing to look
at.
Bedroom: A decent bed is all you need. If you already have it then
great! Otherwise, its time you go down to the nearest store and
purchase it. Storage space for your personal items is necessary and
should match your furniture around. A soft, plush area rug placed on
either side of the bed, will provide you with a soft place for your
feet to land on when you wake up from bed.
The Children's Bedroom: It should be bright and airy with lovely,
pleasing to the eye wallpaper and matching curtains. Of course, if
your children are small, a bunk bed to one side would be advisable,
leaving enough space for them to play with their toys. A study table
should be available for their use as well.
Kitchen: Good storage cabinets along with a side table are required to
store cooking utensils, plates, cups, etc. and also give you space to
work on. Packaged food lying around can look messy so a cabinet
especially for that is required.
The dining area: This could be a separate area or could be
incorporated in the kitchen. The dining table is the place where the
family sits together so it should be big enough to accommodate all
members of the house and at the same time should look appealing to the
eye. A pastel tablecloth with a bright rug below would keep it simple
yet elegant. A fresh floral centerpiece personally arranged would give
this place the finishing touch.
Now that you have your house nearly done you can think of the
remaining areas, such as the bathrooms and their accessories, the
corridors, the entrance and all the corners that may be left
unattended.
