Looking to make a major home decor impact on a minor budget? Breathing new life into your space is easy when you have these 5 tricks up your sleeve!
Do you ever flip through the home décor magazines and think, “wow, I wish my space could look like that!” The good news is, it can!
At !nspire, we tell all our clients that some of the biggest impacts in home décor start with a few small changes that don’t even come close to breaking the budget.
Are you ready to breathe new life into your space with our favourite budget-friendly tricks? Here we go!
Budget Friendly Décor Trick #1: Brick Trick
Does your home include exposed brick? If so, we are envious! Exposed brick is a gorgeous, rustic feature many homeowners would love to have in their space.
However, for those that do have it, we often hear complaints about its industrial features not living up to modern day décor standards.
If your exposed brick is too rustic for your taste, we recommend painting it a pale shade of cream or white to lighten up your space, creating an upscale loft feel.
Paired with a set of patterned accent chairs like the Valentina, your space can easily go from industrial and rustic to modern and fresh!
Balance your cream walls with a gorgeous patterned accent chair.
Budget Friendly Décor Trick #2: Swap Your Head Dining Chairs
Adding a touch of luxury to your dining room is easy—and it doesn’t include having to buy an entire new dining set either!
Instead of blowing through your budget on an expensive new table or set of chairs, simply swap your head dining chairs for two accent chairs that make a statement.
The Paris II Accent Chair in grey is a gorgeous, affordable option that works beautifully at each end of your dining table, giving it the appeal of a whole new set!
Adding luxury to your dining space is easy–Just swap your head chairs for something grand!
Whether you buy two new accent chairs or simply paint or recover your existing chairs, it’s an easy and inexpensive way to give your dining room a quick face lift.
Budget Friendly Décor Trick #3: Change Your Kitchen Hardware
If it’s your kitchen that needs a quick lift, forget replacing your cupboards; all you need to do is replace the hardware.
If you browse your local hardware supply store, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the variety of knobs and handles available in 2015.
From chrome to wood, wrought iron to even glass-like features, the choices are endless and can easily take your kitchen from shabby to chic!
!nspire Tip: Try matching your hardware to special details found in your kitchen or dining set. This ties the room together for a seamless look!
Budget Friendly Décor Trick #4: Choose A Coffee Table With Storage
When flipping through the décor magazines, you’ll notice how clean and pristine everything looks. Nothing is out of place; therefore, sometimes the easiest way to get the showroom look is to simply find a way to relieve clutter in your space.
We recommend choosing a coffee table with storage to help eliminate clutter in your living space, giving you a place for those extra magazines, coasters, remotes, cables and papers.
The Latif Coffee Table in dark sheesham has drawers that slide through the front and back and is a beautiful handcrafted piece that speaks volumes in any living room, den or sitting area.
Eliminating clutter is an instant way to lift the appeal of your space.
Remember, a clutter-free zone is the first step to a beautiful space!
Budget Friendly Décor Trick #5: Refresh Your Porch With An Unexpected Accent
With gorgeous May weather on our hands, you mustn’t forget that the porch is an extension of your home and should be treated as such.
Luckily, the porch is an easy zone to fix up and doesn’t require an extensive budget to do so.
First, give your front door a new coat of paint or, for an even easier option, dress it up with a vibrant spring wreath.
If your porch furniture has seen better days, simply use the same gallon of paint from your front door and give it a quick refresh for a matching look.
Finally, complete your porch setting with an unexpected accent piece like the Java Accent Table in antique gold. You’ll be surprised at how it ties your entire porch together, giving it a unique look to enjoy all season long.
Don’t be afraid to have fun with your porch decor. First impressions count.
