by Gloria Daniels


Adding originality to your house does not have to be an expensive process. Neither have you got to to spend money on a pro decorator.

Noted below are a few methods to add orginality to your house by decorating with accessories. Hopefully, this can be merely a jumping off point to help you you use some creativeness when decorating to show your personality and unique personality.

1. Pick up a big frame at a yard sale. Finish it to match your decor. Cut a bit of corkboard to fit the frame and voila, an ornamental, original bulletin-board.

2. An alternate way to make an original home is to make use of a recycled doll house. Place the doll house on a giant decorative shelf or attach it to a wall, open room side out. Use it as decorative space for storing for linens, craft items, toys, collectibles,etc.

3. Don't pass up an old but robust bench at a yard sale. Painted or finished to match your bedroom decor, perhaps even with a upholstered top, it can supply helpful seating or space for storing when placed at the base of your bed.

4. For some momentos you will treasure, create silhouettes of family members. Tape white paper to a wall and seat the person with light behind them to form a wall shadow. Trace the outline, then cut the silhouettes from paper of your choosing and frame it. This also makes an excellent gift for grandparents and fave kin. Use paper that matches the decor of the home these will be hanging in.

5. Add details to a recycled light fixture to make that designer touch. Spray paint it in a bold colour, change the shades, and add beading or crystals. Make it suits your personality and decorating style. Check budget decorating with ebay for more inexpensive methods of adding originality to your house when decorating on a budget.

6. Do you like pattern but are doubtful of how many you can mix to mix 'n match? As a maxim, 3 patterns are the most you ought to use in a room to stop the eye from being overwhelmed. Don't be scared to mix stripes with plaids, or flowers with geometics. Scale and colour matter more than pattern. It if makes you feel good, keep it.

Trust your instincts and obey your heart. This is the true path to adding originality to your home and creating a place you love to return to.
