Do you dream of adding style to your home but don’t have a lot of money? Don’t despair! There are 5 things you can do that will help your house look beautiful without spending much money.
1. Make display surfaces pretty.
A key element in houses that are decorated by a professional rather than want-to-be is the art of accessorizing. Flat surfaces such as mantels, bookcases, and coffee tables are the perfect places to restyle for less. The one important point here is to keep it simple. Bookcases should only be 2/3 full. A mantle should not have mirror above it (a very dated look) – choose artwork instead. Place no more than three items on an end table – cluster these varied but related items together for more impact.
2. Paint to Impress.
Paint, as you know, makes the most dramatic change for the money. Be bold, be daring and most importantly -- don’t do white! Choose a complex color. This simply means if you would use several different words to describe the color than it is probably complex. For example; if you said it was a kinda “gold, straw, beige-y color” than it is probably a complex color. If you said “just yellow” - it probably is not a very inspiring look. A beautiful color on the walls can make the room go from ordinary to extraordinary in less than a day and usually for less than £25.
3. Make it personal
Decorating your house is a job but styling your home is fun. Personalization is putting your interests, hobbies or values into your décor to really make it your own. Buy simple – read inexpensive - curtains at your local big-box store and then buy exquisite wide ribbon to hot glue on the edge. Use your grandson’s first sneakers to tie back the den curtains. Use some family photos but just promise not to use too many. A guest coming for a visit may find all those staring eyes unnerving.
4. Change with the seasons.
You know the drill – lighter brighter for spring/summer and darker richer for fall/winter. This easy task of changing the fabric items around the home can help you make it seasonal. Change out placements, bath towels, and accent pillows. The final touch is to purchase a seasonal bouquet of flowers: fresh or fake- these centerpieces can add punch to a room.
5. Change the colour of your Sofa.
You can now make dramatic changes to the look of you living room furniture without the expense of replacing Sofas & Chairs. For under £109 Covermyfurniture.com can now offer you many different colours, patterns and styles to make a Sofa not only look brand new but to give your decor a new lease of life.
Decorate your home by spending time not money in decluttering, painting and accessorising. By following these simple tips, you can make a huge impact by bringing your home from average to spectacular for very little money.

Changing the style of your home can be a gradual process, built around specific furniture or individual architectural details within a home. Today it is very easy for people to get bogged down or stuck in a style rut, especially in the home. Interior design trends change as often as fashions in clothes, but it’s a bit harder to change the style of your home like you would a pair of jeans.
Joanna Whitworth, co-founder of Covermyfurniture.com says: “We’re seeing more decorating trends following fashion. In the past, fashion was very minimal, now it’s more established. So today’s rules say it’s okay to mix styles, for example, to put in a clean-line sofa in a more traditional setting and visa versa. People are no longer pigeonholed into one style, everything adds up to personal taste.”
This is great news for those of you who want instant results in your home without having a complete overhaul in order to keep up to date. It is also a fantastic way to really express your own personal tastes, enabling you to keep the look your own. One way to really express the spirit of your individuality is through Covermyfurniture.com’s various furniture cover designs. The collection of designs available reflect a range of individual styles that will let you mix and match, allowing you to express yourself through your choices.
The new movement of “trad-modern” i.e. the fusion of modern materials and traditional designs is the perfect trend to follow for those of you who want to put your personality into your home, think retro, art-deco, modernism & Baroque but with a modern twist. Covermyfurniture.com’s Mandara and Tico ranges have a modern take on the classic floral design and are available in a choice of the most popular living room shades. A cover in this design would really capture “trad-modern” when put over a sharp edged contemporary sofa or chair.
If you are a nature lover, home design is also taking on environmental motifs. Even if you can't be outside, you can still bring the outdoors indoors, bringing calmness to your inner spirit.
The Wisteria and Folly range is for all garden lovers who want to bring the outside in! The fabulous flowers will bring your furniture alive and look particularly good on conservatory furniture. The Folly covers really have that wow factor! You can choose from red or pink for a really dramatic look and they look great if you mix and match them with plain covers in your room.
