Properly decorating your home can make it feel larger, warmer and more luxurious.  However, it doesn’t have to cost you a whole lot of money.  Simple, low-cost methods like changing the color of a wall or adding plants or candles can make a world of difference.  Here are a few affordable ways to improve the appearance of your home without spending a lot of money.

Painting is among the most common steps people take to change the look of their home.  However, many people don’t realize how important their paint choices can be.  Even changing the color of one wall or adding a border around a room can drastically change its appearance – and it’s critical to make the right choices to get the most bang for your buck.  Consider adding colors that will add warmth and contrast to your home, making it look more expensive and luxurious.

Changing (or adding) curtains is another great way to substantially improve the look of your home.  There is a great variety of styles and colors of curtains to choose from.  Consider in particular the size, opacity and color of your new curtains.   Smaller and/or more transparent curtains will allow more light through and brighten your home, and a darker color will frame the window and emphasize the incoming light.

You may also consider changing other fabric – such as furniture covers on your sofa or chairs, for example – to match or complement the color and style of your curtains.  And, if you’re comfortable doing some sewing, you can save even more money by purchasing just the fabric for your curtains and furniture covers and then finishing it yourself.

Lastly, perhaps the most enjoyable way to add warmth to your home is through decorative items such as plants or candles.  These are among the least expensive additions and often make the biggest difference.  Not only do they fill in the small empty places around your home – adding a finishing touch – but they can also add pleasant fragrances and aroma as well.  Consider adding small decorative items such as plants, statues, reed diffusers or candles as centerpieces for your dining or coffee table, on ledges or shelves in your home’s architecture, or on end tables, windowsills and your mantel or hearth.

These are just a few of the countless ways to inexpensively improve the appearance of your home while maintaining a modest budget.  Without needing to spend much, you can now enjoy making your home feel rich and warm.
