DIY Interior Design On A Small Budget

  You can still design your dream home even if you have a limited budget.  However, before starting an interior design project you need to decide how much money that you are able to spend.  Otherwise, you will never be aware of the true cost of your project. Actually, most homeowners today are working with limited resources. When you figure out your budget, then you can plan your interior design for all rooms. You don't have to complete every room at the same time, it is sometimes both physically and mentally more beneficial to concentrate on one room at a time. 

Even though paint will be one of the biggest costs of an interior decorating project, there are some tactics that you can employ to dramatically decrease the cost. As an example, you can use two or three colors to mix into hundreds of other colors and shades.  If you want to paint rooms blue, green, white and teal, for instance.  You can mix blue and yellow to make green then add white to make teal without having to buy a pre-mixed paint color. 

Kitchens are another item that can get rapidly expensive real fast. Rather than spend thousands of dollars to replace your kitchen cabinets why not paint and reface them? You don't need to spend a lot of money to transform your kitchen into a modern accomplishment by painting your cabinets white and refacing them with glass doors. You will be amazed how efficiently you can have a new kitchen on a tight budget.

Instead of buying all new living room furniture, you can buy a few new high quality furniture pieces and re-upholster some of your existing items, like sofas and chairs.  This has the effect of buying brand new furniture at half the cost.  Another great way to complement your interior design project is to accessorize your living space with art work and other distinct items.  A few small items can go a long way in decorating your home in your own theme. With a small budget and focusing on one room at a time and being a little creative, you will be able to accomplish your interior design project on a limited budget.
