How to decorate your room for free
Once you get a new place or move into a new room it can all feel cold and un-homely. Rooms need trinkets and decorations to feel right and to make them less boring. You don’t want your room to look like a cell now do you? No. So it is a good idea to get to work on making your place look better. The better your room looks and feels, the better you feel, it really is as simple as that.
So, you want your room to look nice, you have some ideas, maybe a nice picture on the wall or a vase, but wait a second… how much? That is right, decorating your room is not cheap if you buy everything. So here is a quick guide on decorating your room for free. Good luck.
The first thing to think about is the walls. Now pictures are the perfect way to make a place look ‘lived in’. Get out the photo albums and pick a bunch of your favourite pictures. Then all you have to do is get an old frame (it doesn’t have to be the most beautiful frame in the world) and arrange them how you like them. It is also a good idea to spread them out within the frame and use pieces of coloured card to fill the gaps. I find that neutral greys, blacks and whites work well inside the frame, but it really is up to you.
Old wine bottles can be used as great decorative objects. Take the stickers off the bottle and give it a wash and they can be used a either a vase for some flowers or they can be used to hold candles. The darker, red-wine bottles are better for this and if used well they can have a real impact on a room.
Picking flowers from your garden, or someone else’s (shhhhhh), is a great way to decorate your room for free. As I mentioned before, old wine bottles make nice vases as do any other type of bottle really. Flowers can bring a room to life and make it feel much more pleasant inside. You have to make sure you replace them once they are dead, because a nice colourful flower may be able to make a room feel cheerful but a dead and dry flower can make a room feel extremely morbid.
If you have any old records or vinyl then you can use these for decorative purposes. If the LP has a nice cardboard sleeve that would look good on the wall then simply use that. However the actual vinyl itself can look good on the wall if you put a cluster of them up. Make sure the vinyl you use isn’t worth hundreds of pounds first though, I would hate for you to use a first edition pressing of Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s War! Just nip on down to a car boot sale and buy some rubbish ones for 20p a pop.
Cushion covers are another great way to brighten up a room and can be done very cheaply. All you have to do is get some old clothing, or any type of fabric and stitch it into a big enough shape that it will house all of your original cushions. Cheap, but lovely fabrics can be found anywhere and are a really nice addition to a room. Well, there you have it, my definitive guide to decorating your room for free/cheap. I hope this is of some help to you and I hope it has helped save you some of that much needed cash.
