Low Cost High Impact Decorating

Apr 30, 2018 · 3 Comments

I love to make my house a home, to personalize it to my taste. However, it can be very expensive to decorate an entire house. So I had to come up with alternate means of low cost high impact decorating. Here are a few of my favorite $10 or less decorating tips to make a statement in your home.

Low Cost High Impact Decorating Tips

  • Create a book page wreath. I love my book page wreath. It has been with me for a very long time now, and it is still one of my favorite DIY projects.  It cost me about $6 and it took me 2 hours. You can see my video tutorial here.

  • Revamp your lamps!  Did you know updating your lamp shade can give your lamp a whole new look and feel? Therefore, I ended up wrapping twine around this dated lamp and cut off the ugly orange jewels hanging on the bottom. It especially adds a great natural texture and brought this beauty back to life.

I went the burlap route for this next lamp. First, I covered the lamp shade with burlap and then hot glued gathered pieces of burlap over the top. In addition, I used leftover paint for the base, giving this lamp an entire new look.

  • Use up those pallets! Don't we all love a good pallet project? For these frames I used leftover pallets from our sod and painted them white to really bring out their rough texture. Consequently, this is a super easy way to create your own frames.

any kind of knick knacks I can find around the house, such as corks or old sewing spools.

I also love painted jars. It's an easy way to give an old jar a face lift for cheap. I used chalk paint to paint these jars and then lightly sanded over the lettering on the jar to make it stand out!
