Ideal Home – Budget decorating ideas – 28 savvy ways to update your home for less
If you’re looking to transform your home without having to spend a fortune, we’ve found a great article this week that’s packed with unique and super simple ideas!
Decorating with plants is an easy and affordable way to update your space. Not only do plants improve air quality and add colour to dull or bland schemes, but they have also been shown to reduce stress levels. If you’re not green fingered and would prefer something that’s easier to care for, Ideal Home suggests opting for artificial plants instead. There’s a huge variety of realistic looking options available and, according to the article, “their visual impact on your décor will be the same as that of live plants”.
When it comes to giving your existing furniture a new lease of life, the article suggests decorating a plain display cabinet with window film in a stained glass or patterned effect, or using a stencil to paint stylish designs on drawer fronts. If you’re looking for a simple DIY project with minimum time, effort or supplies required, why not try making your own basket lightshade? All you need to do is remove the handles from a wicker basket, spray paint it with a colour of your choice, cut out a small circle in the base and add an oversized bulb and black cord. For dining rooms that are in need of a revamp, this lightshade would look stunning hanging above a table!
If you have the budget to invest in new furniture, the article suggests starting with a bookcase or coffee table, as these pieces offer both decorative and practical benefits. Purchasing new soft furnishings is another great way to revamp your living room or bedroom, without having to spend a fortune. The idea that stood out most to us in the article is to use samples or offcuts of wallpaper to create a gallery wall. Not only is this tip simple yet effective, it can help you create a unique look that won’t break the bank! Ideal Home suggests opting for different patterns in a similar colour palette to create a beautiful statement in your home.
The article also includes a variety of other ideas, such as rearranging your furniture, repainting dining chairs, displaying fresh flowers and switching up your kitchen cupboard door handles. We love how the suggestions prove that small updates really can make a huge difference to your space! Will you be trying out any of Ideal Home’s ideas? Let us know in the comments.

YourHomeStyle – 11 romantic bedroom ideas to transform your space into a dreamy retreat
A romantic bedroom doesn’t always have to be for couples; your bedroom is supposed to be your sanctuary to relax in after a hard day and a romantic-style look will do wonders for creating a welcoming atmosphere to rest in. This article by YourHomeStyle has some great ideas for creating the right mood for your sleeping space.
Four-poster beds are the ultimate piece of furniture for a romantic setting that oozes with French country décor vibes. Not only are canopy beds timeless, but they will also give your bedroom the perfect fairy tale feel to inspire sweet dreams. Four-poster beds are also ideal for inspiring more decorating options; you can style the posts with fabric or faux vines to really dive into the princess’ tower look.
Lighting is essential for building the right atmosphere in your bedroom, as explained in one of our previous blog posts on bedroom lighting ideas. YourHomeStyle suggests using fairy lights to bring a more magical feel to the space and to fill it with the perfect cosy golden glow to relax in. Fairy lights can be hung up on anything and will still make a difference to even the smallest of rooms. If you’re looking more for a grand, castle-like look, try hanging a chandelier over the bed, this will not only add class to your space, but it will also make you feel like royalty as you relax in your bed. Alternatively, you can light some candles which will also fill your room with pleasant fragrances.
Your walls also play a huge part in the feel of your room. Will you keep them plain or will you go all out with romantic-themed prints? YourHomeStyle suggests collecting prints which have a similar colour palette and recommends earthy tones for a softer look. If you want to try something a little more adventurous, YourHomeStyle recommends making a flower wall. A flower wall consists of hanging up a wire mesh and then filling it with faux flowers and foliage. Not only will it make an eye-catching focal point, but you can pick your flower and foliage collection to match your personal style.
