Interior Design Ideas – Interior Designing on a Budget

A shining new car and an elegant looking house, it’s a dream of every living person on earth and especially the ladies. But sometimes our pockets are too short on money to get all these things. That’s the time when we have to depend more on our brains and creativity for achieving all that.

Let’s leave the car aside for a moment or two and go towards the elegant looking house we were just talking about. You don’t have to be a millionaire to own a house which is well decorated to give it a look of your dreams. It can be done well within a small or medium budget combined with a little creativity of yours, your family or friends. We can also add the choice of interior decorators who can design well in a limited budget but for now let us look at some easy home décor tips which can come well under your restricted budget.

1. Bedroom:

• The bed comes first in a bedroom. The bed should be of the right size depending on the size of your room because if you tried to have a bigger bed in a smaller bedroom, it will definitely be off the elegant list and it will also make look messy and tiny. So pay attention to the size of both your bed and the room. There is no need to pay for an extra sized bed.
• Color scheming of the room is very pretty much important. No fancy shmancy stuff needed just simple bright and light color combinations of your walls and furniture is more than enough.
• Go natural. Plants by your room’s window, a vase with some fresh flowers on your study table will also give a freshening look.
• Let in some sunlight and brighten up your room. Sunlight combined with some bright walls can give a better look along with saving your electricity bills.
• There should be proper lighting in the room however not too much because too much will not only exceed your budget with product prices and the bills but also will make your room warmer and will occupy space on your wall and ceiling. In this case the placement of the lights is important for example one lamp at your bedside table for light reading before bed, one at the study table and one on the ceiling or the wall and that’s it.

2. Kitchen:

• Again size does matters. Size of the kitchen will decide how much stuff should be put into it. If you have an average size kitchen you need to organize your space with a bit more creative touch whether it’s the walls or the floors.
• For the kitchen island you don’t need to buy a brand new granite top. You can grab a used top, get it polished and done.
• If you prefer a table then just go for the average size table for around 4 people. Square or rectangular will be a better option since round or oval takes a bit more space than others. You can find a more options in used ones for your limited budget than going for a new one.
• Shelves or pantry depending how much space you have around your counter, can be placed accordingly. If going for a pantry then you need to have an idea of the size of the shelves in between. If you need a bit more space to then you can go for a 1 to 2 small shelves.

3. Lounge:

• For the living room’s floor you can go to a second hand shop and browse a patterned carpet with window curtains which can go with the carpet to compliment the plain white or off white theme of your room.
• Let lots of sunlight enter your living room. The natural light gives a better look than artificial.
• A simple square coffee table will serve most of the purposes in your lounge. For example a neat looking narrow table cloth with a nice look vase get the décor part done while it can also be your personal board game space suitable for a good friends hangout.
• Touches of wall décor here and there can come in handy. You can get some excellent frames from a second hand shop; you can also use fake vines on a plain surface, or even dried up flowers preserved in a frame. It all depends on your creativity.
• If you have a plain sofa in the lounge then you can use some colorful scarves on them to give an eye catching look.

4. Bathroom:

• Now for proper lighting in the bathroom, some big or medium length mirrors are recommended which will reflect the light; natural or artificial in the entire space.
• If the tiles have a light color and then the typical wood theme will look good. A second hand wooden shelf, refinished and polished shall do the trick.
• A bit of natural look in here also can give an elegant look like placing some plants around your bathroom window or around the sink.
• You can even have wall décor here. Yes sure you can. Following the same theme of your shelves you can grab a couple of good looking frames as well.
• Depending on your mood and space of-course you can choose from a shower or a tub. I prefer a shower since the tub will gather more space in comparison. Pick a corner for the shower with decent amount of width for you and the closing glass walls and door.

Being done with some simple tips there are a few things which should be kept in mind. First of all before starting on a limited budget home décor, check out a few examples regarding the color, space usage, furniture etc. Browse around some second hand shops for the items. This is going to make things a lot easier on your pocket. Accessorize accordingly, not too much not too less, just maintain a balance. Proper lighting is important along with the proper placing of the furniture.

You can always try your own creativity for the task however taking advices from the people around will be a better help in managing the whole thing. Family and friends will definitely be a good idea however if you are not sure enough about managing your budget then it’s better to get some professional help.
