3 Tips to Decorate Your Home Without Breaking the Bank

To help you cut down your decor budget, here are a few tips that will let you indulge your love of decorating without breaking the bank!

Buy secondhand

Whether it's thrift stores, antique shops, classified ads, or even the odd curbside find (yes, really!), you can sometimes uncover real little treasures. The golden rule to keep in mind when thrift shopping: keep an open mind! Think about giving an object a new purpose, and get creative — you might be surprised by the result!

Our best tip for getting started with thrifting: start with accessories. Thrift stores and antique shops are goldmines for decor accessories: vases, frames, planters, lamps, and more. You're sure to find something to dress up your shelf for a fraction of the price.

Our favorite platform: Facebook Marketplace

This platform, built right into Facebook, lets you shop for secondhand furniture and items right from your couch.

Transform what you already own

Instead of buying new, consider giving your furniture and belongings a makeover. Don't love your mirror anymore? Consider repainting the frame or simply removing it altogether. Do your cushions no longer match your color palette? Just swap out the cover for fabric you've chosen and sewn yourself.

Our favorite idea: completely reinvent a piece of furniture with wallpaper.

Whether it's the back of a shelf, the front of dresser drawers, or the top of a desk, wallpaper is an affordable, easy-to-install option. Check out our Pinterest board, full of furniture transformation ideas.

Wall decor

Rather than repainting an entire wall or installing a permanent textured finish, consider adding wall decor instead. For example, that could mean shelving (which you can decorate with lovely finds from the thrift store ;)), a mirror, greenery, or even a light fixture.

Our favorite idea

Wall decals! Depending on the size and colors you choose, you can achieve a real showstopper effect. Plus, decals peel off without leaving any damage on the wall (a huge plus, especially if you're renting!). Check out our wall decal collection and enjoy free shipping.
