12 LOW-COST DECORATING IDEAS;
Canvas
the Area
Hang
canvases painted with interior latex paint to brighten blank walls. Think big:
The canvases should fill the wall.
Create
a Side Table
Stack
modular storage units (from $22 get it from amazon or etc.) to make a stepped
side table with surfaces for displays and lighting. Create miniature still
lifes in the cubbies, or stack reading material that you’re going to get
to...someday.
Hang
Plates
Plates
in unexpected colors make a fresh wall arrangement. Vary hues (within a
family), sizes, textures. Put the most dramatic plate toward the center (lay
out the plates first to experiment); attach wire plate hangers and hang plates
on picture nails.
Lighten
Up With Wicker
Inexpensive
wicker that looks as if it belongs outdoors changes the mood of any room. Put
chairs in a sunny corner of their own or mix them with your upholstered pieces.
Make
Your Own Art
Even
photocopied art looks sophisticated when it floats between two pieces of glass
in Umbra’s Document Frames (from $13 or up). The wall color shows through the
glass, creating the illusion of a custom mat.
Be
Crafty
A
variation on the idea: Make use of mittens missing their mates. Cut felt to fit
the backing of the frame (around $24 each), then use craft glue to adhere the
felt. Center the mitten on the felt and glue it down; let dry overnight.
Go
Natural
Use
shells and other beach bounty to warm up a kitchen, an entryway, or a stairwell
by creating a rustic, relaxed display.
Think
Visually
Add
interest to a store-bought lamp shade with the help of ribbon, glue, and an eye
chart. (Print one for free online, then have it enlarged at a copy center.)
Hang
a Gallery of Photos
Mine
your albums for your best shots (pick a theme: weddings, birthday parties,
vacations) and put them in identical frames. Hang in a tight grid or a long
line—you can’t go wrong if you stick to a geometric arrangement.
Reflect
Your Style
Define
a space—here, a foyer—with a mirror that adds both drama and light. This one is
a hand-me-down dressed up with one coat of spray paint.
Bring
in Shades of Colors
Colored
lamp shades can make a bold statement. Limit the colors to one per room, and
select other lamp shades in neutral tones, such as parchment and white.
Amplify
Your Space
Tight
spaces expand and rooms seem roomier when you prop up a large mirror (at least
three-fourths as tall as the wall). It’s a classic interior decorator’s trick
to create instant―if not real―square footage.
