Is your front room stuck in the 80's? Does your house beg for a make over? Here are some tips on to save money and still get the look that you've always wanted.
| 1. | Choose a style that you like (contemporary/modern, country, french country, victorian, etc) |
| 2. | Decide on a wall color to fit the whole look of the room. For victorian, a rosy pink, or an off-white, country can be anywhere from blue and yellow, to pink and white. |
| 3. | Select furniture. If your furniture already matches your style, then consider yourself lucky. If your furniture looks un-pleasant, purchase some slip covers, they come in all different styles and patterns. |
| 4. | Buy rugs and draperies. You can save a lot of money by purchasing solid color rugs and draperies that are in your colors, and places like Wal-Mart carry them. |
| 5. | Find artwork. It isn't as expensive as you may think. You can buy from a retail or craft store, or photocopy images from a book, and frame them. |
| 6. | Alter the things you already have. A black lamp may not go with a nautical theme, so what do you do? Paint it, using spray paint or textured paints, found in arts and crafts stores. Clocks, coat racks, vases(using glass paint) shelves, bookends, even baskets and furniture can be transformed by paint. |
