Sometimes you may want to spruce up your home but you are a little strained on cash. There are various small decorating projects one can employ to freshen up their home. It just calls for a little imagination and creativity. Sometimes the simplest solutions can have the biggest impacts. Here are few ideas to get you started.

1. Add wallpaper

According to The Standard, wallpaper is initially more expensive than painting. However, the paint will get damaged over time while the wallpaper will look good for years. It is, therefore, cheaper in the long run and a more enticing decorative piece.

Before you put in any wallpaper in your house, read up on its very many types and how to install it depending on your needs. Research on its advantages and disadvantages to know what you are getting yourself into. After that, you are good to go.

Wallpaper is sure to add colour and spice up the room you install it in. This is because it comes in different designs and textures which impact the visuals of a room. Sometimes you just need to use it on one wall to make that wall pop. But if you are a paint kind of person check out Factors To Consider When Choosing Interior Paint Colour

3. Use of bookcases

This especially goes for book lovers. Bookshelves have become more than just a functional piece in our homes. They help with a little organization and can act as a decorative piece in many rooms. So instead of storing your books or your kids’ books in some drawers somewhere, invest in an inexpensive bookshelf.  It can either be a large bookshelf or a tiny one depending on the available space, budget and preference.

There are also fun DIY shelves one can make where one can use old belts to create a floating bookshelf. The beauty of bookshelves is that they themselves turn into stunning displays and one can add their own creative pieces to add to the room décor.

4. Use of jars

Now the kitchen might be neglected when decorating the house yet it has the potential to look great. One of these ideas would be the use of jars to store most of our food. We often tend to leave our food in the papers they arrive in yet we can invest in a few inexpensive jars to put them in and they are as functional as they are decorative.

You can buy jars from the supermarket or you can also buy stuff in jars from the supermarket and then clean them out after and use the jars. One can start with one set and work their way up from there. Storing our food makes the kitchen less cluttered and if you have a pantry it makes for a beautiful sight. Smaller jars can be used to store sugar, tea and coffee sachets.
