easy ways to best spend your money when decorating on a Budget
The first thing you notice when you walk into our Edgebrook, Clyde North display home is the bedhead in the master bedroom. It is an inviting space with the hero piece being the stunning cane bedhead. You can make a bed look inviting and cosy by adding a mixture of different sized cushions to incorporate colours and textures. Add a throw rug at the end of a bed to make it all come together. All inexpensive items. You can add a pop of colour or pattern to neutral bed linen and mix in some texture with leather, wool knits or velvet to plain block colours.
TIP #1: A hero piece in the room that steals your attention
The Bahama Bed Head from Adairs will make you feel like you have woken up in the Bahamas every day. The Bahama design goes with any decor, creating endless styling options for your bedroom abode.
Available in Double, Queen and King here.
TIP #2: Choose art that creates a calming mood in the bedroom
When deciding on artwork choose paintings that will create a calm environment. Animals, oceans and greenery artworks are great choices.
Check out these prints at Norsu Interiors.
TIP #3: Use poster art to save on costs.
Poster art is a great way to keep the cost down in a room, and places like Ikea & K-mart have affordable frames in most standard sizes.
TIP #4: Choose inexpensive interchangeable linen pieces for the bed
Mix and match linen, cushions and throws to create different inexpensive looks.
TIP #5: Get crafty and repurpose or breathe new life into preloved pieces
Don’t throw out anything that might be looking more on the rustic side – see if you can breathe new life into it with a fresh coat of paint. Head down to your local hardware store for the essentials so you have all the tools you need to start flipping furniture.
TIP #6: Time to head to an op shop
Head to your local op shop or discount furniture warehouse for hidden gems. You’ll be surprised at what you may find. Even try second-hand shopping online via Facebook Market Place or Gumtree. By finding that sweet spot between being too critical and compromising on quality, you can find some hidden gems if you have a keen eye.
TIP #7: Channel your inner green thumb
Liven up your living space with potted plants that are easy to maintain. Take a few clippings from your backyard or off friends, place in a pot with mulch and water as needed. Before you know it, your home will be feeling and looking fresh. If plants aren’t your thing, you can still add colour with faux plants which require no effort at all.
