10 Tricks For Designing Your Home On A Low Budget

Introduction

The best thing about decorating your home is that you don’t have to be rich to make it look like a million bucks. You can use some of these tricks to create an amazing space without spending tons of money or taking on too much DIY work yourself.

DIY your coffee table.

The coffee table is the centerpiece of your living room. It’s where you and your guests will gather to chat, share stories, eat snacks and watch TV together. A well-designed coffee table can become a focal point for your entire home–but if you’re on a budget, it may be hard to find one that fits all your needs (and looks great).

Before we get started with our tips for designing a low-cost coffee table, let’s talk about what exactly makes one great in the first place:

• The size should be proportional to the room where it will go so that it doesn’t overwhelm or look lost in space.
• The material should be durable enough so that any spills from drinks or food won’t stain easily (and hopefully can be cleaned up easily too).
• You’ll want something that complements other furniture pieces as well as whatever else decorates walls/windows etcetera.”

Use an accent wall.

• Use an accent wall.
• If you have a small space, consider using one of your walls as an accent wall. Paint it with a color that will stand out and make the room look larger than it actually is–it’ll be like having a window at eye level! You can also use this trick to create a focal point in your living room or dining room by hanging up large pieces of art or mirrors on the wall opposite from where people enter the room (if there’s one). This way, when someone walks into their house for the first time, their eyes will automatically go straight for whatever is most interesting-looking about their home; this could either be artwork or even just something like plants growing out of containers attached to shelves placed below windowsills where natural light comes through during daylight hours so there wouldn’t otherwise be much else happening inside without artificial light sources turned on all day long every day throughout winter months when days become shorter than nights.”

Reimagine your nightstands.

Nightstands are an easy way to add style to your bedroom. But if you’re on a tight budget and don’t want to spend too much on nightstands, there are other options.

• Use a side table as a nightstand: Side tables can be found at many thrift stores for cheap or free! You can even paint it or stain it if you don’t like the color (many people do this). You could also use this trick in other rooms throughout your house if needed (such as storing books under your desk).
• Use console tables as nightstands: Console tables come in all shapes and sizes so they’re perfect for anyone looking for something different than what’s currently available at most stores these days. Most people who have them end up using them only during parties because they’re so large but there’s no reason why they couldn’t serve double duty as both furniture pieces depending on how much space you have available in each room.”

Use a mirror to liven up a small room.

Mirrors can be used to make a small room appear larger, or they can reflect light and color in a way that makes the space feel brighter. You can also use mirrors to make one wall look like it’s covered with artwork, or even create illusions of outdoor scenery when placed strategically along windows. Mirrors are great for adding visual interest and making your home feel like a more complete environment!

Use multi-functional furniture pieces.

You can also use furniture pieces that have multiple functions. For example, if you’re looking for a new dining room table and want something that can be used by everyone in the family, consider a convertible piece of furniture. You could buy a large round table with a leaf that can be pulled down when needed or even look into buying two smaller tables with leaves attached so they can be joined together when needed.

Another multi-functional option is sectional couches and chairs; these allow you to change up the layout of your living room depending on how many people are coming over or what activities will be taking place during different seasons (e.g., camping). If space is an issue (as it often is), opt for folding chairs instead of traditional ones so they don’t take up too much room when not in use!

Get creative with storage space.

One of the best ways to save money on your home decor is by getting creative with storage space. If you have a small bedroom or closet, consider hanging a shoe organizer from the top of the door to store small items like jewelry and makeup. Attaching hooks to the back of doors can also be helpful for hanging coats and bags when there isn’t enough room for them in closets or cabinets. If you’re looking for more permanent solutions for storing shoes, hats, gloves and other accessories that tend to clutter up living spaces–like scarves–a shelf mounted on the wall works well for keeping those items organized without taking up too much room in your home (and helping keep floors from being covered in piles). For bookshelves that double as decorative pieces but still provide plenty of practicality around reading material (or even DVDs), try mounting shelves onto walls instead!

Paint the ceiling black to make your room feel bigger, more open and more modern.

Black is a great color because it is easy to work with and can be used in many different ways. It’s also very versatile; you can use it on any wall or surface of your home!

Go out on a limb with paint color choices.

• Go out on a limb with paint color choices.
• Choose a bold color that is the opposite of your walls, like yellow or blue. This will make your room pop and will make it look bigger than it actually is.
• Use a different color from the rest of the room, such as red or green if you have grey walls and brown carpeting in another part of your home (this would make for an interesting combination).
• Stick with a similar shade to what’s already there but add some contrast by adding white trim around doors and windows, which can give them an elegant look while also drawing attention away from other areas where you may want less focus on things like worn edges or stains on carpets that might not be able to be replaced right away due to budget constraints.”

Rearrange your living room furniture periodically to keep it interesting and add new life to your space over time.

• Rearrange your living room furniture periodically to keep it interesting and add new life to your space over time.
• Don’t be afraid to change up the look of your room by adding a bold color or piece of furniture that you wouldn’t normally use in this area. For example, if you usually stick with neutral colors like browns and whites, try switching things up by using bright red as an accent color on one wall or even on some throw pillows in one corner of the room! This can help create a more dynamic environment where people want to spend time relaxing after work or school activities (or maybe even just watching Netflix).

Use curtains as well as blinds on windows so you can easily change up your look with minimal effort or cost when it’s time for a change of scenery or mood in that area of your home or apartment!

Curtain rods can be used to create a more formal look in your home, or they can create a more casual look. For example, if you have curtains on all of your windows and want them to block out light better, consider adding blackout liners or shades over them. Curtains also come in many different fabrics and designs so you can mix and match with other furniture in the room!
