Home Decor Ideas to Deliver Instant Impact and Save You Money

If your current home decor is dull and boring, but your budget causes you to be hesitant to spend the money to completely redecorate, don't despair. You don't have to have the talents of an interior designer nor the budget to hire one to update your home decor. Simple, low-cost home decor ideas can make a remarkable difference in your home's appearance.

Here are but a few home decor ideas which can perk up a room for around $100 or less:

One of the most used rooms in any home is the bathroom. If your bathroom is cluttered and none of the accessories match, it might be a good idea to spend a little money updating the look and organizing the clutter.

It won't take much time or money to replace your old accessories like the tissue box cover, toothbrush holder, soap or lotion dispenser and trash can with a matched set. Home decor retailers, major department stores and most off-price retailers offer a wide selection of bathroom accessories in a variety of styles and colors. You can also find shower curtains, rug sets and window treatments to match or compliment your new bathroom accessories.

Nothing can spruce up your living space like green leafy plants and floral arrangements. You don't even have to have a green thumb to add some greenery to your home. There are many low-maintenance plant varieties to choose from or select a life-like artificial plant or arrangement. Today's imitation plants and arrangements appear so real, the only way to tell the difference is to touch them.

Adding strategic lighting can totally alter the appearance of your room, and affect the mood as well. So many people neglect the lighting fixtures when updating their home decor. And, let's face it, the lighting fixtures which came with your home usually aren't the most attractive nor does the glaring overhead light they emit enhance your space. Why not set the mood and add to the decorative aspect of your room using ornamental lamps. Indirect lighting from table and floor lamps add a warm, cozy feeling to your space.

Even if it's not in your budget to replace your furniture, repainting your space in a trendy new color can give it a completely new appearance. You can also opt for a classic color which will remain in style for many years. Changing the wall color is an effective way to give your room a fresh, up-to-date look, no matter which color you select.

As a final low-cost home decor idea, don't assume that you'll have to buy new furniture to make-over the decor in your room.
