Whether you’re planning to give your home a spring refresh, or you just moved into a new place, designing a home can get expensive. Decorating your space doesn’t have to break the bank. At Fineline, we believe that everyone should be able to create beautiful spaces regardless of budget constraints. Read on as we explore practical tips and budget-friendly strategies to transform your space.

Savvy Statement Walls

One of the most practical and visually pleasing ways to save money while decorating is by creating accent walls. Instead of painting or wallpapering an entire room, focus on one wall to make a bold statement. Only purchasing an amount of paint or wallpaper to cover a single wall will not only help you save, but achieve a new trendy effect for your space. Consider choosing bold colours and patterns for your statement wall to offset a neutral-coloured room. Accent walls can be budget-friendly ways to transform your home and make a lasting impression.

Give Old Furniture New Life

Instead of splurging on expensive brand-new furniture, consider adding a fresh coat of paint onto your older pieces. Some creative refurbishments on older cabinetry and home décor will help you save, but also add charming style to your home. Refinishing old dressers, adding a pop of colour to a side table or changing the handles on old cabinetry can breathe new life into your living space. Embrace repurposing to make big transformations on a small budget.

Second-hand Style and Vintage Charm

Finding hidden gems at flea markets, antique stores or through other second-hand sources can be an exciting treasure hunt and savvy method of interior decorating. These places often offer pieces that add character and charm to your space, giving it a personal touch that mass-produced furniture can't replicate. Embracing vintage pieces can also reduce waste and create interesting talking pieces for your visitors. Consider scouting for these furniture pieces and accessories to create a space that’s curated and budget friendly.

Minimalist Makeover

Transforming the vibe of your home doesn’t mean you need to focus on adding new design elements, decluttering your home can also change your interior space for the better. Clearing out the excess can open your space and create a sense of calmness and modernity. Donate or sell items you no longer need or use and organize with budget-friendly storage options like shelving, baskets, or multi-purpose furniture. Reducing visual clutter and maximizing your space can create a new atmosphere in your home that might even make you some extra money!

Affordable Art Finds

Incorporating affordable local art into your home is a powerful way to create a unique, personal space. Local artists often capture the beauty of your community that resonate with your surroundings. Whether it be a beautiful landscape painting, fun art print, or hand-woven wall tapestry local art collection can create authenticity in your décor. Each piece of local art also tells a story – it becomes a conversation starter, a reflection of your interests, and a showcase of your relationship to the community.
