Money Saving Home Decorating Ideas By Lubna Ali Khan
1~ You can always go out in your backyard to find beautiful things like cones or flowers and bring them in your home to add a beautiful and natural feel to the room.
2~ A room’s floors can add to its beauty because floors are an important element. Redoing hardwood floors can be very expensive so you can place rugs or carpets instead. They create a sense of warmth and coziness in the room. You can look for amazing overdyed rugs for sale and pick the ones that are the best match for your home.

3~ Decorate with affordable toss pillows. Toss pillows are relatively affordable and the right pattern and color can really add an impact to your space.
4~ You can look in magazines or on the web to find a room that speaks to you. You can choose picture of a high end room and then mimic that in your space. Look at all the details of the room that you like and recreate those details in your space by going to inexpensive and budget friendly stores. Look at the placement and execute your design.
5~ Make sure that those budget friendly things are not low on quality. The last thing you want for your home is to look like you have designed it with a bunch of second hand items. Plus it won’t come together like you want it to.
6~ Calender’s are an excellent budget friendly way to get artwork in your home. Basically they’re printed on quality paper and they look good when framed. You can get inexpensive frames from yard sales, discount stores or thrift shops. If they look old then you can always paint them a nice color to give them a fresh new look.
7~ Take your time and don’t feel like you have to rush in and design your home all at once. If you do that you won’t be happy with it because you rushed into it.
8~ Take your old furniture pieces that are worn out but are in a great condition and paint them white to make them refresh and new again. Painting anything white totally brightens up the room.
9~ If you don’t have the time and money to spend on curtains then you can take some spare bed sheets and make curtains out of them.
10~ If you keep your eye out then you can get really good deals on furniture. You can go to auctions, yard sales or garage sales to buy inexpensive furniture or decorating items.
11~ You can make your own picture frames by repainting old frames and gluing pearls or beads on them to make them more sparkly and pretty.

12~ If you’re tired and bored of looking at the same sofas everyday then instead of buying a new sofa set or dining chairs you can simply change the fabric as the trends change over time. This is an inexpensive way to make your home look completely different and better.

Spring Cleaning – Dining Room
Wax and Polish Your Furniture: Several times a year, it’s a good idea to wax or polish all of your wooden furniture. Done too often, and you’ll cause too much waxy build-up. Too infrequently and you’re depriving your furniture from a layer of protection. Oils and waxes of all kinds work well on your wooden furniture. Which one you choose is up to you. The most important thing to remember is to do a thorough buffing job so that you won’t leave a sticky, filmy residue.
Uphpolstery: If you have upholstered dining room chairs ,thoroughly vacuum and at the least, use a store-bought upholstery cleaner. To really clean those seats, steam clean.
Credenzas, Sideboards and Hutches: If you have any kind of storage unit in your dining room, spring cleaning is a great time to go though the cupboards and drawers and decide if you really use all of the items that you’re storing here. Over the years, It’s easy to shove things into these storage units that don’t actually belong in the dining room. Do a clear-out of all of the drawers and re-organize so that you’re only storing what you actually use.
Spring Cleaning – Living Room
Couches and Chairs: Use the vacuum cleaner attachment for crevices to get underneath the cushions of your couch. This might also be the time to rent an upholstery cleaner and steam clean the fabric of your couches and chairs.
Tables, Lamps and Knick-knacks: Dust and fully wipe your tables, lamps and knick-knacks. Don’t forget to vacuum the lampshades as they tend to get extremely dusty.
Bookcases: Remove all books from your bookshelf and clean the shelves. Don’t forget to dust the books before putting them back!
Entertainment Center and Electronics: If you’ve got a wooden entertainment center or armoire, you should dust and polish the wood surfaces. If you’ve got a laminate, an all-purpose cleaner will do. Most stereos can be cleaned with a damp rag. For your television, there are different cleaning methods depending on what kind of set you own. If you have an older, traditional tube, you can use glass cleaner and a rag. Avoid paper towels for any electronics because the paper fibers could slightly scratch the surface. If you have plasma screen, use just a clean damp cloth. If there is serious dirt, you can mix it with a gentle cleanser, but try to avoid using any cleansers if possible. For LCD screens you want to be especially careful. Wipe very gently with a damp cloth, then dry immediately with a dry cloth. Don’t press onto the screen or you could damage the display.
