How To Decorate Your Home On A Budget

Decorating can be a difficult process. There’s a lot of planning involved, in terms of deciding what type of decor you want to introduce to a room, the expense of buying all the products you need, and, of course, plenty of hard work in actually getting the job done.

While we can’t help with the hard work – we’ve got those skirting boards to repaint this weekend – we can chip in with some decor ideas for some of the key rooms in your home, and suggest some hints and tips on how to decorate on a budget.

Living Room Ideas On a Budget

The living room is one of the central hubs in most homes, the space where you relax in the evening and also potentially entertain friends and guests. Redecorating the living room doesn’t have to be a tough or expensive job. A quick and easy way to decorate your living room on a budget is simply by painting it. Just giving the walls a fresh coat of paint can brighten up and make a room feel fresh and new.

Once that’s done, here’s another couple of easy easy decor tips:

Get Some New Living Room Furniture

If you have a bit of budget to play with, buying some new, stylish living room furniture may be the next step. Finding new furniture which is affordable and durable isn’t as difficult as it sounds. Oak furniture could be a perfect solution. It’s built to last, tough, and looks great; it doesn’t date and doesn’t always come with a hefty price tag. 

Add something different to your living room, like this industrial oak coffee table. This coffee table will quickly become the focal point of your living room, with its unusual weave inlay and coated steel frame. At Chiltern Oak, we stock a wide range of oak furniture for every room in the house. Our furniture is high-quality and affordable, meaning you don’t have to choose between one or the other.

Update Your Current Living Room Accessories

If you’ve had the same accessories in your living room for a while, updating these can freshen up the whole area without breaking the bank. Use framed pictures of friends and family to add some personalisation, or go to your local charity shop to see whether you can find some bargains.

Something as small and simple as adding new cushions to your sofa or getting new coasters for your coffee table, can change how the room feels and looks.

Bedroom Ideas On a Budget

Decorating your bedroom doesn’t have to be a chore or cost a small fortune. There are some simple things which can be done to make your bedroom exactly how you want it. For example, a simple way to refresh your bedroom is to add some flowers to the room; flowers can brighten up an interior and provide a lovely, fresh, floral scent to the bedroom.

Replenish Your Furniture....

Updating your bedroom by repainting your current furniture is a low-cost but effective option. If you have existing furniture, such as painted oak or standard oak furniture, you can give the items a new lease of life by simply repainting it. Choose your favourite colour and see your room transform. 

… or Buy Some New Furniture 

If your current furniture is looking worn and tired, it may be time for some new kit. If you are looking for some durable, high-quality furniture, then oak furniture is an excellent option. We stock all kinds of oak bedroom furniture, including classic oak, painted oak and industrial oak furniture. 

One of our most popular affordable bedroom furniture pieces is the Banbury grey double bed frame. Grey is a neutral tone and therefore works well with many different colour schemes. It offers style, yet adds cool comfort to your bedroom. The details on the head and footboards of the bed really adds character and brings the bed frame to life.
