Cheap Home Decor Tips
Smart Home Decorating Ideas for the Smallest Budget
When it comes to furnishing your home, it can be a tricky business. There are certain essentials that we all need. From beds to the dining room table and chairs, to refrigerator and freezers. So when you move into your first home, you will be torn as to what to buy. Do you just get what you can afford and then buy your dream furniture items later on in life? Here are some tips and tricks on home decorating on a budget to make you have your dream home just as you want it right now. When you’re savvy about how and where you shop, it will make a massive difference to the cost of it all.
• Shop Online
It might be a good idea to go into some stores to get the look and feel of some of the furniture that you might like. But it isn’t always the most cost-effective way to shop. There tend to be a ton more deals online than any other physical stores would have. So it is worth shopping around to find the deals. If you’re looking for furniture from Ikea, then why not look for an Ikea coupon on somewhere like DontPayFull.com? You’re not going to get them offering your free delivery, and 25% off in the store are you? So do take your time to shop around, so you don’t have to spend more than you need to.
• Upcycled Furniture Ideas
You might have an idea of a piece of furniture that you want. But the desired one might be right out of your price range. So instead, it might be a good idea to look to upcycle any potential new furniture. You do have to change your mindset a little when you go out shopping, look at some cool upcycled furniture ideas online before you decide what to buy. You might have to think what the table might look like if it was sanded down and glossed or painted a different colour. You have to look at chairs and imagine them with a different cushion cover or painted legs. So if you’re quite creative and want to get stuck into the decor of your home, then learn to upcycle. You can save so much when you do that too.
• Search on Free Sites
There are lots of sites online these days that offer swaps or even have items of furniture listed for free. You might even find Facebook.com groups, that have been set up for people in your local area that you can join. It is an easy way to look for bargains that you wouldn’t otherwise find. Bear in mind that some things might need to be changed or repainted. But if you get it for a bargain price, then it’s gotta be worth it, right?
• Change What You Already Have
If you already have some furniture to play with, then you can get creative about how you go about doing things. You could reupholster your couch or armchair or sand down your dining room table and chairs and varnish it in a different shade. You don’t always have to buy something new or secondhand if you’re prepared to make a few changes to what you already have.

The best part of your article for me is when you talked about how it can be a good idea to shop home decors online because of the different deals and discounts that you can take advantage of. Holidays are coming, and I’m looking to make some changes in our house by updating my decors in the living room. Budget is one of my top priorities, so it’s good to take advantage the discounts that I may able to get online. I will make sure to start looking for an online shop where I can order.
Hi Madison, thank you ever so much for your lovely comment. I had a sneaky peek at snjgiftmarketing.com ; awesome items to find on there! 🙂
I like the home decor tips you have here. Checking garage sales for furniture that you can upgrade is a good idea! We want to remodel our living room a bit, and some ‘new” couches would be great.
Thank you so much, Ridley! Yeah, have a look around. It is sometimes just unbelievable what people skip, I always find some little treasures here and there. With a little phantasy you can make so much out of an old, unwanted item.
I wanted some new decor in my home as I’m renovating it in few days. So your tips are really useful to me at this point. I loved the way you have written and presented the tips. Thanks for this great share!
I have to thank YOU, Emma, for visiting and for taking the time to leave a comment!
Your ideas are invaluable! A well-decorated home shows the sensibilities and refinement of its owners but there’s no need to empty your bank account doing just that. I like your idea about mix-and-matching what you can already find at home. Perhaps a buying something to touch them up would be a great idea as well. Thanks for the tips!
I have to thank you, Joy!!
Wow, it’s a great article! I have just moved into a new house and I need a few accessories to make it more comfortable. This article is what I’ve been looking for and my favourite part is about shopping online. I’ll definitely consider these tips and buy some nice things like bento bags on the Internet.
Thanks a lot for your smart 😉 comment, Zachary. Agree, your bento bags are really nice, I also love your aprons!
You made a good point about searching online and checking for items that are available for swapping or that would sell for a bargain price. It’s always nice to know that you were able to get a quality item without you having to pay too much. If I were to look for some home decor of my own, I would definitely consider searching online first. Thanks.
It really helped when you mentioned how you can find a ton more deals on home decor when buying online. I understand that taking the time to do some research and compare companies can help you find the best quality for your money and get items that will help bring the best of your home. We are planning on moving to a bigger house and my wife wants to get more home decor to make sure it looks great, so I’ll share your post with her.
Aww, how nice, thanks a lot Marcus. Good luck with your new home!
I think I’ll take that advice to take my time to shop around. My house could use some new decor. I think adding some decor might bring more life to my living room.
Thank you so much for stopping by, Becca. Yes, I absolutely agree, a few decor items can do so much to our homes, I love playing around with colours, sometimes all it needs are just some new cushions or curtains to give a room a new look. I had a look at your little birdhouses, how cute are those!!!
I loved when you talked about how you can work with existing furniture to create new decoration for your home. It is important to remember that taking the time to evaluate what you have can help you come up with good ideas on how to use your space. Personally, I would want to do some research and get ideas from other people so I can get the best decor for my style and make my house have nothing but good vibes.
I totally agree, Marcus. I love repainting and redecorating old furniture. It just needs a bit of phantasy to create something new and unique, and cheap!! Old furniture has got ‘personality’ and charm, don’t you think? Thank you so much for coming over and taking the time to leave a comment, that’s much appreciated!
I really like you recommend changing up what you already have to avoid buying more expensive items. While buying new decor is very refreshing, some items might be cheaper to refurbish than to replace. I’ll have to remember this because I still need to buy various pieces of decor to achieve the style I want but changing the tables and chairs I have to match would be a good option.
I particularly love the garage sale/thrift store finds. They are cheap, environmentally friendly, and one of a kind. Triple win.
