Creating a really happy home doesn't necessarily have to take a lot of dough. But you might ask, how's that possible? Well, you just need some patience (to look around), eye for what works (to pick the best pieces), and ingenuity (to find alternative solutions).
With a budget of either $5, $10, $10, $20, $50, or $100, there is something that you can get for your space to make it a lot better and a place that you would always look forward to come home to. Apartment Therapy lists the following suggestions of home decorating things that you can get for the different price points:
If you have $5 to spend on your home, try...
- A small bouquet of fresh flowers for your coffee table.
- Some colored tape to use for hiding a myriad of sins, like the trim that you dread.
- A bottle of lovely scented room spray.
If you have $10 to spend on your home, try...
- A chunky scented-candle that you can light everyday when you come home.
