Easy Ways to Save Money on Your Home Interior Design
One of the best ways to save money is to reuse or recycle old items into new uses throughout your home. From turning an old door into a coffee table. Or using a broken ladder leaned up against a bathroom wall to hang bath linen, there is no limit to where your recycling and reusing efforts can lead.
If you are a DIY’er and enjoy the challenge of making up new uses for items we invite you to peruse Pinterest or other crowdsourcing home decor image sites that give you ideas.
If you are an antiques-goer or enjoy yard/garage sales, these are other places to grab home decorating ideas that are cheap but can be turned into treasure with a little dusting off or a coat of paint!
Paint Your Home Interior Walls and Add Decals
Believe it or not, there isn’t a less expensive way to transform your interiors and deliver a high level of visual impact than painting.
Whether you choose to just add an accent wall to a dining room or you decide to transform your child’s nursery with a burst of color a wall mural, painting, and wallpaper can transform any room within a few hours of your weekend.
If you aren’t handy with a paintbrush, find a handyperson or professional painter that will help you out with the job.

These wall ideas will help save money and can be changed seasonally or whenever you get tired of the decor theme.
