I feel like fall is just flying by this year! If you are trying to think of winter decorating ideas, The Budget Decorator has some tips for you. Home decorating is the most fun during this time of year when we spend more time indoors enjoying our creativity!
We spend a lot of time inside our homes during the winter months, but it doesn’t have to be cold and dreary, no matter what your budget. There are plenty of terrific ways to warm up your décor for very little cash! Pick a room, pick a few ideas, and carve out a cozy spot to make this your most promising winter yet!
1.Try a new arrangement of furniture. This is free, and a great way to add new charm to any space. If your old arrangement focused on the tv, how about make the fireplace or a shelf full of candles the new focus? Bring furniture away from the walls and concentrate on creating comfortable conversation areas…a favorite pastime during those indoor months! Try switching a piece of furniture with another room, you may find it works much better in your new space!
2.Paint just one wall or a focus piece of furniture a deep, rich version of the present color scheme in the room. Midnight blue, forest green, ruby red, deep golden…all of these colors add depth, richness, and warmth to a room. And keeping it to one wall or one piece won’t overwhelm the room, and will make it easy to change back when the weather warms, if you wish. (But you might love it so much, you’ll keep it all year!)
3.Don’t be afraid to add layers to your windows. This can be done easily by draping quilts, tablecloths, or even bedsheets artfully over the curtain rod, then just pull them back with tiebacks during the day with the rest of the curtains. No sewing, little money, easy, and layering fabric is a designer’s secret for adding warmth to a room. The extra layers will also help save you money with the heating bill! Isn’t that how our Grandmother’s did it?
