Rummage your storage. The very first step in redecorating your room with minimal expense is by looking for stuff that you don’t use anymore or have forgotten about in your garage, basement, attic, and closets. These items may be great pieces that you can add to spiff up your room. For instance, in your basement you may find used furniture that can be added to your ensemble. In the closet, you may stumble upon a still good Persian rug that was given to you during your wedding. In the attic, with thorough rummaging, you may find an old picture frame that you can use to decorate your room. If you can make use of any stuff that you have stowed away, then you may be able to save a lot of money by using these pieces. It is all about resourcefulness and imagination. Look for items that will fit to the total overall theme of your redecoration.
Clean each room. Sometimes, redecoration is as simple as cleaning up the room. If your room is cluttered and messy, the best way to redecorate it is by cleaning it up and by removing stuff that make the room look disheveled and messy. You may be surprised to find out that all your room really needed was some cleaning and dusting.
Create and stick to a budget. If after all the work you’ve done like cleaning the room and rummaging your home storage for pieces you can make use of and you still are not content, then it may be time to work out how much you will need to spend to get your room into shape. Visualize and determine the theme and style of the room and make a list of all the items that you will need to redecorate it. Once you finalize that list, go to the local hardware and furniture shops to canvas the items on your list. Once you have the best rates for each item on the list, total it up and see if your current finances can cover the total cost of the redecoration. Normally, people with money will want to hire an interior decorator to do the job but since you are trying to save some money, you will need to do it yourself. In any case, finalize your budget and if your finances can cover it, start shopping.
Ask your friends to help you out. The friendship card can always be used to save some dough on home projects like redecorating. Ask your friends that seem to know their way around their house to help you in redecorating your place. Since you are friends, you can probably squeeze a freebie from them. They can help you design the place and participate in the manual labor needed to complete the job.
These are some of the major tips you can employ to get your room or home fashionable and trendy again. The most important skill that you will need to develop to accomplish this job would be resourcefulness and creativity.
