Make A Plan & Do A Research

Before you begin buying and decorating, you need to consider your budget and focus on items and rooms that you will use the most.

Making a checklist can be very helpful in this case.

Give thought to used items as well, especially when it comes to art, decor, mirrors, etc.

Repurpose, Reuse, Remodel

Now that you have planned everything, you don’t have to go on a shopping spree just yet!

The Internet is filled with DIY tips for decor and furniture face lifting.

Make good use of them, have fun revamping, and save a small fortune!

Not to mention that repurposing old things is the super-conscious and eco-friendly thing to do.

Carved animal skulls

If you are looking for something different and extraordinary, carved animal skulls can be the right choice.

Carved animal skulls are craftsmanship masterpieces that will last forever.

It is said that the skull symbolizes mortality, and having a carved animal skull on your wall can remind you that you shouldn’t take things for granted in your life.

There are many prejudices towards carved animal skulls.

However, if they are ethically sourced (used in farming or collected from butchers) they can be a good way of recycling, given that most of the animal skulls would go to waste or become ground for animal food.

It is also a good way to honor every part of the animal body and turn it into a real piece of art.

‘Plants make people happy’

Plants are an ideal mixture of purposeful and aesthetically pleasing things that you can use for decorating.

Not only do they look nice, but plants also have great benefits such as reducing toxins in the air, improving the air quality, lowering stress levels…

Whether you go for floor plants, succulents, cacti, or short-term solutions such as cut blooms, plants will make your living space feel lively and appealing.

Paint

Paint can be a very budget-friendly way to decorate your home.

Even so, you need to make sure to make the right choice regarding color.

Each color creates a different emotion and mood, so choose thoroughly.

With the help of modern tech, you can use certain apps to test how your walls would look with a different color, without actually painting them.

Lighting

Good lighting can bring about real change in your home, but choosing the right light bulb can be a huge hassle. Not every type of light bulb works in every room.

Make sure to use LED or CFL light bulbs, as they are the most energy-efficient types.

  • For bedrooms and living areas, warm/soft light bulbs (2,700K-3,000K) are top-notch choices since they provide a traditional, pleasant and cozy vibe.
  • For kitchens, bathrooms, and work areas of your home, the ideal light bulbs are cool/white (5,000K-6,5000).
  • For basements, garages, sheds, etc. Daylight/Natural White bulbs (5,000K-6,5000) are perfect because they provide the greatest contrast.

Conclusion

Regardless if you want to refresh your home or you have just moved and want to decorate your new home, making good decorating decisions can last for years, if not forever.
