One thing that almost all interior decorators recommend when designing a space is to add some greenery. Adding plants will bring warmth and coziness into your home. From flowers to potted plants, you can incorporate a bit of the outdoors inside. When browsing a company like Pots Planters and More, you’ll find a wide variety of indoor planters, pots, and containers.

You need to select the pots that will compliment your space. Depending on the room you might consider some metal, ceramic, or even plastic planters. For rooms like kitchens or sun-rooms, you could consider using some rugged outdoor planters that are designed for outdoor spaces. These tend to go well with the stonework and accents of these rooms. Choose containers that go with your home and have adequate drainage holes for your plants

2. Consider a fresh coat of paint.

Painting can be one of the easiest and cheapest ways to transform your space. A fresh coat of paint can instantly update a space and make any room pop. If you want to add some variety, you can try just painting one wall as an accent wall to give character and personality to any space.

You’ll want to choose colors that reflect your personality and your home’s character. Even just repainting the trim in a room can make a big impact. Adding some color or a fresh coat can breathe new life into any room almost instantly for very little money.

3. Shop your own home.

If you are looking to spruce up your home, you might first consider what is already there. Sometimes you don’t need to buy anything new to decorate. You can make the most of your existing pieces by moving some things around and taking things to different areas of your home. You can switch out your accent pillows, move artwork around or relocate furniture to another room to create new looks.

You might be surprised at how versatile the items are that are already in your home. Even if you want to move around your plants, consider how your pots or planters might look in a new corner or new room.

4. Cover up your furniture.

Older or outdated furniture can bring a room down and hinder the aesthetic. Unfortunately, new furniture can be really expensive. A way to save money and give your furniture a new look is to cover it up. Slipcovers for your couch and chairs can transform your furniture for a fraction of the cost of buying new furniture. You might even consider adding new upholstery to padded chairs or ottomans to create a new look.

5. Check out thrift stores and flea markets.

If you want to add new accents or artwork around your home, thrift stores and flea markets are a great place to start. In many of these stores, you can often find unique accent pieces at a discounted price. From handcrafted pieces to old ironwork, there are numerous treasures to be found. People sink a lot of money into quirky pieces and accents that reflect their personality, however, you can find all sorts of discount pieces at second-hand shops.

Creating a new look for your home or crafting a personal space doesn’t mean that you have to empty your wallet. From adding plants and paint to repurposing items you already have, there are several ways to create a stylish and elegant look in your home. With a little ingenuity and some work, you can have the space of your dreams for the price that you want.
