"Got 100 Bucks? Redecorate Your Space!"

It is understandable that every now and then a person gets tired of their surroundings and wants to make some redecorating changes. If you are on a budget, there are many ways to overhaul the design and look of your home without spending a whole lot. In fact, you can give your space a decorating overhaul for $100 or less! A few inexpensive purchases and a little creativity goes a long way.


1. You don't have to pay a lot to decorate your walls. Take a look at the greeting card section of your local discount department store and you will find some wonderful pictures worth framing. Greeting cards make beautiful little art prints for hallways, bathrooms, and small areas of wall space that just need a subtle eye catching item of decor.

2. Visit your fabric store and buy a piece of fabric you love, using one piece to frame as art, and another piece you can use to make matching sofa pillows or a coffee table placemat. The look will tie together beautifully. Fabric stores often have sale and clearance tables where you can buy a couple of yards or more of material often for $2 or less per yard.

3. Visit your local thrift shop to buy secondhand picture frames you can spray paint or paint as distressed wood. Even old calendars make wonderful prints worth framing. Decorating on a budget is not only easy when it comes to art, it can be fun and extremely affordable.

4. Turn an old teapot or a novelty tin into a vase for silk flowers you arrange yourself. If you need to buy silk flowers, check for seasonal clearance on marked down decorative flowers in large discount department and craft stores.

5. Visit your local dollar store. You will be surprised what beautiful glasses or trinkets or figurines may await you that might make just the perfect touch for a book shelf or fire place mantel. It is also a great place to buy cloth napkins or crocheted doilies if you like the shabby chic look. A true dollar store is where every item in the store costs just a buck. For just $12 you can buy a dozen of anything, and that's a decorating budget deal that can't be beat.
