Walking into a room with the same vibe and interior decor day after day can become rather depressing. Luckily, a new living room feature, bookshelf, or even just moving around some furniture can be as refreshing as a haircut. You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars or even waste away hours to have your house look like it’s straight out of an interior design magazine.
Budgeting doesn’t just refer to spending the least amount of money on good quality products, it’s also about using what you already have and giving the product an entirely new meaning or purpose within your home.
Here are some interior design ideas for those on a budget…
From Pillow to Mattress
If your house is always filled with family and friends, you probably need extra sleeping space every now and again. Instead of buying expensive mattresses, sew old pillows together to form a DIY mattress. You can choose to have all the pillow covers the same color or opt for a crafty pattern. These pillow mattresses can make the perfect addition to your living room.
From Travel to Table
If you are lucky enough to own some vintage suitcases, there are various ways in which they can form a part of your interior design decor. With a bit of DIY skill you can turn one of these suitcases into a fun coffee table. All you have to do is attach legs to the bottom of the suitcase.
From Dull to Art Deco
Changing the entire interior of your home can be as easy as giving a makeover to one focal point in a room. A dull staircase can easily be changed into art. If you have some black and white paint lying around, why not add to this season’s monochrome trend by painting your stairs black and white.
From Toys to Titles
Instead of having a boring old bookshelf in the corner of your room, why not transform an old toy? If you have an old wooden wagon in storage you can use this as a literary centerpiece. Stock this portable bookshelf with all your favorite books and magazines.
From Pencils to Portraits
One of the most innovative interior design ideas on a budget is to create your own personal wall art. This might sound daunting, but you don’t need to be an artist to achieve this effect. All you have to do is arrange coloured pencils in a rainbow of hues.
