Decorating with what you Have
Get the proper packing boxes to move your belongings.
Who said you need to spend thousands of dollars to give a room a facelift? While some expenses are mandatory, you still can change the whole look of a room just by rearranging what you already have. Here are a few tips on doing that successfully:
1. Go “shopping” in another room. A small side table, a quirky chair or a mismatched rug can all help change the look of a room.
2.Rearrange the furniture. Don’t just move it around but instead find ways to change the focal point of the room by facing the couch or the dining table a different way.
3. Use things in an unexpected way. A bookcase can easily turn into a room divider and a screen can be used to create a separate office in what would normally be just a living room.
4. Can’t afford to replace the couch? Use a throw or a nice afghan to cover it up, either completely or just across the back. Use a contrasting color as well, so the impact is greater.
5. Get one or two large potted plants. Resist the temptation of turning the room into a jungle. 6. 6. Instead, get a large palm or fern for a stronger impact without overwhelming the furniture.
7. Hang a picture on the wall. This is a lot cheaper than you may think. If you have an old calendar you love, just frame your favorite pages and hang them on the wall in groups. Otherwise, places like IKEA sell cheap prints that are large enough to draw attention by themselves.
