Nothing beats redoing a room and feeling like you are walking into a brand new space. And for a look that is easy on your wallet, there are quick décor ideas that you can use for decorating on a budget that doesn’t skimp on style.

Freshen up walls with paint for home

Walls are one of the first visual elements our eyes encounter in a living space. This makes it the easiest and quickest way to change the look of the room. In fact, even repainting just the trims can have a big impact. You can either create an accent wall using textured paint and stencils or opt for a painted ceiling to make the room look bigger. You can also use wooden paint or paint your floors for a makeover that’s in your budget.

DIY artwork

Even photocopied art looks sophisticated when you use quirky frames. You can even create interesting artwork using pieces of patterned fabric or wallpaper, completed jigsaw puzzles and pictures cut out from a magazine.

Shop at flea markets

You can find great unique pieces at a flea market, at a bargain price. While some are perfect on its own, other pieces can be improvised using a coat of paint.

Go green

Plants are beneficial to the home décor in so many ways, but for the purpose of this style guide, they are also a super cheap decorating element. Plants can fill awkward spaces and infuse a space with natural energy. Plants are a budget-conscious decorator’s best friend!

Create an atmosphere

Adding candles can instantly create a feeling of cosiness. This can also be achieved by simply switching your white lights and bulbs to a soothing yellow. Bring in flowers or bowls of fruit to help set a mood, convey a sense of style and add scent.

Re-arrange and re-organise

If you want to transform your room without spending any money, start by getting rid of the clutter and reorganising the furniture. Keep your surfaces neat and clean and display some art. Style your bookshelves by arranging books by colour coding them and arranging art, boxes and knick-knacks.

Holi is one of the best times to decorate your homes because it marks the beginning of spring in most of India. And since Holi is known as the festival of colours, you’ll find plenty of inspiration if you look around.

Bedroom

With the summer around the corner, steer out the darkness and dullness from your bedroom by adding cheerful and bright colours like yellow, orange and green. Whether you are thinking of home painting or simply adding a punch of colour using accessories, even the slightest pop of colour will instantly brighten up the space. Upgrade the lighting fixtures and sconces with sustainably sourced bamboo lamps. Bring in some fresh flowers like marigold and lotus and add some scented candles.

They will also become a great conversation starter for guests visiting your home. Add colourful cushions and curtains that are washable and resistant to Holi colours. Use crystal bowls to place flower petals and candles as centerpieces.

Bathroom

Since your bathroom will be often visited by guests during Holi, leave out the white towels for another day and replace them with darker, older towels you don’t mind getting dirty. It is also a good idea to get some scented soaps and lotions and display them using quirky jars and plates, a gesture your guests will truly appreciate.

Kitchen

For the kitchen, you can create a colourful flower rangoli on the entrance. You can also use colourful paper buntings as an easy décor idea. Add colourful flowers in a jug to perk up the space. Use your fancy cake stands for Holi sweets and mithai like jalebi and ladoos. Hang a colourful penchant light to complete the Holi décor.

If you are planning to move houses soon, you’ll find that the process can be very intensive. There is the task of finding a perfect space and then packing and clearing your old space out. Not just that, you also need to consider the décor of the new space. To make things easier, we cover 3 tips that will help make the move a whole lot easier.

Your furniture might become outdated

When moving into a new space, some of your bigger furniture might not work since the scale or style of the major pieces might not fit. Before you move in, plan the floor space and only take the furniture that will you will use. For the rest of the pieces, you can have a garage sale. If your furniture takes a beating during the moving process or looks dull, you can revamp the pieces using wood coatings and finishes by Berger Paints. You can also give glass surfaces in the house or on your furniture a new, upgraded look using glass coatings by Berger Paints.

Your walls will most definitely need a makeover. Don’t delay the painting!

If you leave the task of home painting for after you move in, you will certainly delay it further. The best time to paint the walls in your new space is before the move since you won’t have to worry about damaging the furniture and décor. Moreover, you can start planning the kind of ambiance you wish to create using wall colours. For an interesting look, you can use textured paint on a wall in the living room to create a focal point.

Consider carefully what needs to be packed and what needs to be kept behind

Go through the stuff you own and divide in two piles: things you have used in the past year and things you haven’t. Get rid of everything that doesn’t serve a function anymore. This will help you save time, money and effort to move unwanted items.
