Because flowers are so beautiful, most people don’t think about the fact that they’re really expensive or that they last so temporarily when cut. The good news is that there is an incredible option to using so much money on something that will only last a few days: artificial flowers.

Bright Up Your Room

Filed Under: Home Design    by: admin

The bedroom is the place we spend most of our time, yet also tends to be the most ignored when it comes to decorating. Nowadays, money may be a significant factor! Here are some great hints for brightening up your space with no money at all!

1.Rearrange! A new fresh placement always makes a room feel new. Don’t be afraid to try new angles for your furniture…place your bed on a diagonal, or even right in the middle of the room!

2. Explore your drawers for scarves, tablecloths, or even pillowcases that compliment your color scheme. You can use things you already own to soften a dresser top or the edge of your nightstand, or perhaps lay a pretty shawl over the foot of the bed. If you already have throw pillows on your bed (if you don’t, it’s time to steal it from another room!) you can also wrap these fabrics around the pillows for a new look, and just safety pin it in back.

3. Add a plant to your room. Look around your home to see if one of your existing plants would be happier in your bedroom, then move it there! If you can’t find a plant ready for relocation, make one! Many plants can be grown from cuttings, either your existing houseplants, one a friend may let you cut, or even some outdoor plants. Ivy and many shade groundcovers are very good houseplants. You can even relive your childhood a bit and grow a cut potato, pineapple, or carrot tops in a pinch! For containers, check out your kitchen cupboards. Old teapots and cups, glass bowls, even baking dishes can make unique containers.
