Furnishing your home on a budget: 8 low cost and intelligent ideas

To furnish your home on a budget, you don't need who knows what skills in interior design. Quite the opposite: you just need creativity and a spirit of initiative! By now you should know that our motto is "live your home", and for this reason today we want to give you a series of tips to beautify your home without spending a lot, a collection of intelligent, imaginative and low cost ideas.

Did you buy an apartment or did you move recently? You will certainly want to personalize your nest and decorate it with taste. Also because those anonymous white walls aren't exactly the best to see as soon as you get home, right? A home restyling can be really expensive, but with a few little tricks you can make your home beautiful with little and transform it into an environment that you will finally feel "yours".

How to furnish your home on a budget but with taste? Here is our collection of 8 brilliant ideas for decorating your home in economy, a collection of clever ideas in their simplicity and really affordable for all budgets! Let's start?

1. Furnish your home on a low budget with shelves

The shelves are a perfect solution to beautify the home for very little money! Furnishing with shelves allows you to organize your home and give a twist of style to a bare wall. You just have to play with the shapes and colors of the shelves and think about how to set up smart compositions to make the most of the potential of the wall units.

To furnish your home at no cost, you can choose to transform wooden boxes into original shelves. Painted, decorated or "natural" ... they will turn into very special low-cost shelves to enliven a bare wall with a more rustic touch!

2. Photos, paintings and prints to hang to beautify the home on a budget

Exposing photos in an original way is another not bad trick to furnish your home for a little! Your most beautiful memories hanging on the wall immediately make the house more welcoming, "warm" and lively.

To embellish your home with taste and with minimal economic effort, you can combine photos, checks and prints, creating colorful and harmonious combinations. Think of the wall with a blank sheet of paper on which to write a story: whether it's a holiday, your hobbies or a love story, the important thing will be to create a mosaic of images with consistent colors and images.

Even simple empty frames will bring a breath of fresh air to the room! To beautify your home without spending much, you can retrieve old frames (in wood or metal) and repaint them, or hang them as they are: from simple supports they will become the real protagonists of the wall. A really simple idea to implement and that will allow you to fix your home with little money.

3. Furnish your home at no cost by recycling wooden boxes

Recycling wooden boxes, pallets and other recycled materials is a great way to beautify the house for little or nothing! If you love do-it-yourself and DIY you can give new life to waste objects and renovate your home with a truly personal, creative and low cost touch.

Furnishing your home with wooden boxes is the maximum of fun because the possibilities are practically endless. Crates and boxes don't just lend themselves to becoming splendid at the shelves, as we told you a little while ago. You can assemble fruit crates and create alternative tables, do-it-yourself bedside tables or beautiful rustic planters. A touch of style to furnish your home at no cost!

4. Turn old glass jars into homedecor elements!

Speaking of creative recycling: did you know that glass jars are absolutely versatile and allow you to beautify your home with a very minimal cost?

There are jars of many different sizes (think of those of pickles, or honey, or even the larger ones used for tomato puree) and that you can use to furnish an inexpensive but stylish house: it's up to you to decide whether to leave them " natural "and transparent or whether to paint them to add a touch of color.

Glass jars can also be transformed into small flower holders, original jars to hang or to be placed on shelves, but you can also use them as delicious candle holders to be placed in the bathroom, on the windowsill or on the fireplace. You can also fill them with dried flowers, colored sand or shells to use them as truly original centerpieces! In short, if you are looking for cheap ideas to furnish your home with taste, with creative recycling you will be spoiled for choice.

5. Use mirrors to make your home beautiful with little

With mirrors you can furnish your home with taste and little money, because these accessories have a truly remarkable potential when it comes to decorating a room.

Mirrors are important and functional accessories in the economy of a room. Thanks to reflective surfaces you can increase the perceived depth of a room and transform it into a much more scenographic environment, but with particular and elegant mirrors you can give the house an even more marked decorative touch.

Mirrors can also cost a capital, but you can find interesting and really low cost pieces among the stalls of a second-hand market. It takes just a little patience (and luck) to make a deal and beautify the house without spending much!

6. All the charm of LED lights to decorate your home at no cost

Playing with lighting is essential to make your home more beautiful and scenic, but if you are looking for ingenious ideas for decorating your home without spending a lot of money, well ... try with the LED lights! You can buy long cables with lights online or in a gift shop, an inexpensive solution to create small charming light points in various corners of the house.

How to best use LED lights to beautify the home? Try hanging them on a wall to create a play of lights (fixed or intermittent) that will catch the eyes of your guests. If you love photography, print your favorite shots to hang on a small metal bulletin board to be illuminated with a cable of LED lights.

Hang strings of LED lights on the window or in front of the fireplace to create a truly spectacular "waterfall" effect, or use them inside glass jars to create a truly intriguing handcrafted table lamp. A fascinating and very simple idea to furnish by spending little with DIY, absolutely low cost but with great effect!

7. Choose the right rugs to give your home new energy for a little

Rugs are also a good way to give some energy to some parts of the house or to beautify it without spending a fortune. The important thing will be to choose them well, combining them with criteria with the style of the room furnishings and the palette.

There are many carpets on the market, in an infinite number of different colors (and in many different price ranges). These textile elements never go unnoticed, they add softness to the room and allow you to cover a floor that is too "anonymous".

A rug with an oriental pattern will be an excellent choice for an ethnic or boho-chic, colorful and picturesque home, while a plain-colored bedside rug (even better if with neutral shades) will be a perfect addition if you love Nordic style . Ah, and don't forget to best combine a carpet with soft cushions and other textile elements to enhance the room even more and make it more beautiful without spending a fortune.

8. Plants and flowers to make the house more colorful and cheerful

If you want to beautify your home with taste, decorating with plants is an economic and colorful idea! Flowers, shrubs, succulents...a green touch in the home is essential for bringing color, joy and cleaning the air. A low cost solution to decorate all rooms of the house!

A green corner in the living room makes the living area worthy of this name: organize the plants above the furniture, on the shelves or using a bookcase. If you love plants on the ground you can place them next to the sofa, or even at the entrance. In the kitchen, however, fresh aromatic herbs cannot be missing: essential for cooking, they will perfume the environment and make it fresher and more welcoming.

For an even more personal and do-it-yourself touch, choose eccentric and creative flower vases: excellent ugly boxes or glass jars (as we told you a few lines ago), but also repainted tin container, old bulbs to hang or the timeless benches to create a small rustic greenhouse with old waste materials.
