Living Room Budget Decorating Ideas and Tips

Living room is a center room in the house so it should be presentable and spacious. If you are limited in budget you can still create a simple but stylish decor with our decorating ideas and tips. First of all, think about the style you want to decorate your living room in. Minimalist and modern decorating styles allow you choose simple color scheme and save on paint and flooring materials while concentrating and decorating the room with help of complex prints in furniture, interior accessories and lighting.

Minimalist decor is great for budget decorating exactly because it doesn’t require much details so if you like this kind of style it will save you a lot of money. Plastic, inexpensive but quality materials look good with couple of accents and accessories. Add some floral or complex geometric prints and you will get a combination of homey traditional and modern minimalist design.

If you chose to use a more complex color scheme go handmade with the rest of your decor within the limits of the possible. Utilize your old furniture creating new things or reupholster it in the new color scheme and style. Try to make the most of your previous decor by using and recycling and redecorating old interior accessories, lighting, furniture and artworks.

Put pictures into frames and paint the frames to compliment your new color scheme. New pillows created with your own hands in deep colors will make great accents in your new living room decor. Don’t forget to make a list of high priority things that should be done by professional such as painting and the stuff you can do yourself or substitute with handmade things.

If you are a fan of traditional or country style you can save on such things like furniture and curtains. Recycled furniture suits the country design and modest traditional style furniture can cost within your budget. If you can sew you can create some cute floral or one-color curtains yourself this also includes plaids, pillows and coverlets.

And finally if you want a luxurious design but do not have enough funds, substitute materials. This is the key to a success or failure. Try to choose materials carefully as you can end up making your design look cheap and very plastic. Tame your desire for super curved furniture and crystal lamps. Choose one or two focus points in your living room that will look luxurious while making the rest of the room tamer and a bit more modest.
