Follow these helpful tips when decorating on a tight home budget:

Pace yourself; accept the fact you won't be able to get it all done at once.

Set a budget limit and target date for project completion; this will help avoid the tendency to keep adding to the room design, increasing overall cost.

Concentrate on one area at a time. For instance, a single room decorating project, instead of the house as a whole.

Have a clear cut idea of the type dcor and design you want; including color scheme, decorating theme, and the type mood you want to create.

Look at the contents of each room with a fresh eye. Sometimes by keeping and rearranging base pieces of furniture and adding a few new accessories, the desired effect can be achieved.

When redecorating, don't over do it. Keep in mind the main function of the room; select a style, and stick to it.

New wall paint, wallpaper, and the addition of wall borders are all cost effective ways to improve home interior design.

Accessory items (such as a wall mirror, pictures, decorator throw pillow, vases and lamps) are quick, economical decorating solutions to brighten a room for a more modern home design.

Quality used furniture or unfinished furniture that you paint or stain can be a big cost-saver.

If you plan on using crown molding, consider decorative molding made from Styrofoam. It costs considerably less, is easier to install, and is every bit as attractive as molding made from wood.
