You, too, can decorate like a pro! And it doesn’t have to cost you a small fortune!

Although it is quite easy to break the bank when decorating, there are a number of ways you can transform your decorating-challenged home into a masterpiece! Here’s a list of ways you can begin decorating today:
• Throw pillows can work wonders on a couch that’s seen its better day. We like throw pillow covers, as they are usually less expensive than purchasing pillows, and they can be easily taken off and washed, as necessary. Because throw pillows are inexpensive, you can get creative and think in terms of bolder colors and patterns to spice up any room in your home.
• Add plants (and a little oxygen, too!). Lush, green, indoor plants in colorful pots around your home can be a great way to add color and life to your rooms. Plus, they do wonders when it comes to cleaning your indoor air. Skip the artificial plants and flowers, though; they do nothing but catch dust!
• Instead of replacing your seen-its-better-day carpeting or ceramic tile, consider an area rug. We like area rugs because they can add interest and color to a room, and they are comfortable underfoot, too. Use a few area rugs to define spaces throughout your home, and consider adding an outdoor area rug to your porch or deck, too.
• Head to your local craft supply store and stock up on inexpensive glass jars and vases in a number of shapes and sizes. Fill them up natural objects, such as stones, sand, pine cones, rocks, etc. and line them up along your mantle or tabletop for a decorative touch.
• Create your own photo gallery by simply printing your favorite family photos in various sizes and grouping them together in an interesting formation along a large wall in your home. If you really want to give your wall that photo gallery air, consider printing all of your photos in black and white.
