5 No-Cost Redecorating Tips to Try

 

 

 

 

 

 

If spring cleaning also make you want to redecorate a bit, then try some of these great no-cost ideas from Curbly that incorporate using what’s already available to you.

1. Choose One or Two Unifying Colors

Use the picture above as inspiration. If you have a lot of books, for example, separate them by color family. Then you can accentuate the look by adding decorative pieces that coordinate.

2. Rearrange Your Furniture

This tip seems to come up a lot, but it’s a good one. You don’t even have to limit yourself to moving things around in the same room. Consider moving furniture and pieces from one room to another to give your space a fresh feel.

3. Create Interesting Wall Art

You can create art from a variety of things you already have. Try tearing out a map of your favorite place from an old atlas and framing it. Or you could use the same concept with sheet music, an old bird book, a cookbook or scrap fabric. You don’t even need to buy a new frame.

4. Repurpose Your Old Items

You could use an old drinking glass as a new vase in another room. Or you could recycle glass jars for use as storage for small items. The possibilities are endless – just keep an open mind.

5. Bring the Outdoors Inside

Bring home some shells from the beach and put them in a vase or glass bowl. Or bring in a couple of twig and spray paint they for a cool new centerpiece. You can even just grab a large, cool-looking rock and use it as a doorstop.
