Decorating and Budget Home Makeovers

Giving your home a much needed makeover may not be as hard as it sounds. There are many do it yourself tips and techniques you can follow. The first thing you need to do make a list of the changes and improvements you want to make. Decide the function each room in your home has, what do you need to do there, what furnishings are needed. Plan how you want it to look, keeping in mind the asthetical appeal and the space needed. What style of home decor do you like? The next and most important step is to figure out a budget and to stick to it. Your room makeovers can be done a little at a time if money is tight.

If you like different styles of decor, its popular now to have different themes for each room in your home. When the kids move out to go to college or get their first apartment, fill those empty nests with African decor, Asian decor, Southwestern decor, the possibilities are endless! Bedroom makeovers include new bedding, window coverings, new paint and fresh wall decor.

For the living room, a new sofa or loveseat is great, but if the budget can't accommodate that cost, a good alternative is a decorative slipcover or some decorative throws. They can also be used to cover an old coffee table or end table. Remove old, worn out carpet and replace with pre-finished plywood floors. Sometimes you might even get lucky and find a beautiful hardwood floor underneath that you could refinish. Do you know what's under your carpet?

The most valuable room in your home is the kitchen. This should be the room you spend the most money on if you want to improve the value of your home. Replacing kitchen cabinets is a valuable improvement but can be quite costly. If that's out of budget, try stripping the old paint off of wood cabinets, sand them down and then choose a natural wood stain. Finish with a waterproof sealant and it looks like you have new cabinets! Add a tiled backsplash behind the sink and new linoleum on the floor if you can't afford new tile.

When doing your own interior decorating, remember that sometimes less is more. Don't over clutter a room with too much decor. If you have a lot of different decor, try rotating it. It's even ok to combine different home decor styles together. Have fun finding the interior decorator in yourself!
