By Rajiv Kapur


Whether you live in a mansion, a tiny apartment or an average sized house, you want your home to look its best, and fortunately home decoration can make a big difference no matter what your budget may be. When you want to decorate without spending a lot of money, you just have to be a little more creative. The home decorating ideas we'll be covering in this article will show you that it's possible to transform the look of your home without spending much.

Lighting is one of the most important factors when it comes to how a room looks. Brightness and the design of light fixtures whether lamps or overhead lighting can have a powerful impact on the rooms atmosphere just as the position of them. Getting the look and effect you want does not require you to have high priced designer lamps. You can find lamps in a number of locations such as flea markets and yard sales in many different price ranges. The furniture and accessories in your home should be considered when seeking lighting that fits the style of your home. One item that can help you make a big difference in the overall appearance of the room is the lamp shade, sometimes all it takes is changing one to create a whole new look to the rooms decor. Experiment with the lighting in a room until you get the effect you want.

If you have a large room that's used for more than one purpose, a folding screen can create an attractive boundary. It can often be advantageous to separate a room into two parts, as you can then have a new area for your computer, to write or study in or any purpose you want. These can be found in all different styles, and what's useful about them is that they're easily moved, so you can create a different appearance for a room on different occasions. There are an endless variety of folding screens made of many types of materials, and they're not hard to find at a reasonable cost.

One inexpensive decorating tip is to add plants to a room, which will give it an interesting and more organic feel. Plants come in all sizes and varieties, and even one or two house plants can transform the atmosphere in a room. While plants are a great addition to any room, they do also require care, so you need to do a little research before you buy them. Dead plants are not a great accessory to a room. A plant that is cared for can improve the air quality of your home while also creating a cozier environment.

Nothing should be able to stop you from decorating the way you want to. You won't have to see a major shift in your bank account if you follow our ideas and add in your own imagination to create a new look for your home. Keep in mind that expensively decorated homes don't necessarily look better; what really counts is how you use what you have. Take some time to draw out ideas for your home, and see where your imagination will take you.
