Budget friendly DIY decorating: Home projects that save money

by Kevin Kelleher 11/13/2023

For those who enjoy DIY decorating, home design enhancements don’t have to break the bank. However, even when doing your projects to create unique home decor, there are ways you can save money and time. Beautify your home with ease, finesse and without breaking the bank:

DIY wallpaper art

DIY artwork can spruce up a blank wall with little to no effort, and wallpaper only makes it easier. With so many vibrant and exciting patterns, prints and motifs available, you can turn a simple piece of wallpaper into wall art worthy of a gallery wall by simply cutting it to the desired size.

In fact, you can create a gallery wall out of nearly anything – all you need is a little creativity and some hot glue. Mount wallpaper pieces, craft paper scraps or photos to sturdy card stock and arrange them to create a low-cost personal gallery.

Multipurpose nook

Add charm to your home and morning routine by creating a multipurpose coffee nook. Set up your tea, coffee or beverage accessories and add-ons with a decorative tray and built-in shelving for storage. Add extra functionality by decorating the space with a cork reminder board or chalkboard wall calendar.

If you don’t have the perfect spot to build a multipurpose nook, you can try using room dividers as an alternative. Other fun options include café tables or bar carts for storage and style.

DIY home decor ideas don’t need to be expensive. With the right planning and use of resources, you can turn any blank canvas or wall into an easy DIY project.

The thing that sets me aside from other agents is my experience, I started out a young man in construction learning everything from anyone that could teach me so before long I had my own company as a remodeling contractor then specialized in historical renovations by the end I had the pleasure of working on great jobs with great clients for 30 years. For the past 12 years, I have been enjoying the process of assisting my faithful clients with real estate transactions my knowledge of houses has given my clients a huge advantage when viewing properties and what is needed when selling. I have always enjoyed working with people and helping them in probably the largest investment they will make. I hope you will give me the chance to show you that honesty and hard work does pay off in the end whether you're buying or selling.
