Some people have a knack for interior design. And some put the brown couch on the brown carpet in front of the brown curtains and call it done. How can we create some style in our homes without breaking our budget?
In 2012, interior design is as much about texture as color, according to this article. So buy some new throw pillows for the couch, or even a slipcover in this year's hottest colors.
What if you rent somewhere? How can a renter decorate their home? A lot of landlords are open to change. They want their home to be rentable. If your ideas aren't too outlandish, or you are willing to repaint before you move, you may be able to paint your rental house. (Ask first of course!) This article has some awesome advice on rental decorating.
And of course, as the holidays are coming up, try seasonal decor. A fresh mini pumpkin on the table looks awfully cute for Halloween. A fresh pine bough or wreath is perfect over the fireplace or on the front door for Christmas. Pine cones and autumn leaves can make stunning decor items all throughout fall. Thrift stores often have holiday decor for cheap. Actually, I love shopping the local thrift store. You never know what you will find. We once snagged an amazing and large canvas painting in a frame for $4. It hangs in our entryway.
What are your favorite ways to show off your style in your home?
