All homes, regardless of size, can be decorated to perfection. From small apartments to large mansions, these can all be transformed into something cozy and comfortable for anyone to love. Interior design has a lot of effects on psychology. The shapes, colors, and spacing of a home can impact the mood and even the entire atmosphere of the home. All homes have what it takes to be nicely transformed, but sometimes it seems next to impossible thanks to hefty price tags, right?
​

It is true that décor can be pretty expensive, from curtains to furniture. However, the idea of some things being expensive shouldn’t immediately deter you. Fortunately, there are plenty of helpful tips so you can transform your space to create your dream home all without breaking the bank!
​

Take a good look at your furniture

For most rooms, the furniture tends to be the focal point of the space. The bedroom has the bed as the focal point, while the living room is going to have the couch as the main focal point. These are usually right front and center as well, meaning that these immediately catch the eye the second someone steps into that space. Since these are going to take up most of the space and they’re going to be the main focal point, you’ll need to think of ways to make this look better.
​

Furniture can truly be all it takes to set up a mood in a room. This can include the design, the shape, the material, and even the color of the furniture itself. Furniture, whether it be a couch, table, or bed, doesn’t need to be expensive at all. You can check out the sales sections at furniture stores, but even thrift shops will have beautiful (and unique) pieces of furniture that simply should not go unnoticed.
​

Paint your walls

One of the best ways to make a cost-effective transformation for your home would be with paint. Paint tends to be affordable, and this project can usually get done within one to two days. Wallpaper can even be cheap as well if you’d like to do that. Changing up your walls with color and design is fantastic for creating a whole new atmosphere, plus they can really make a space feel brand new.
​

Think about the fabrics that are used

A lot of rooms will have fabrics. The living room and bedroom are the top two that are fabric-heavy. The bedroom itself seems to be the same that will have the most textiles present, such as the blankets, pillows, linen, and even right down to the curtains. Not only will the color of the fabric make an impact on the room, but even the materials themselves can. Using something such as silk or satin is going to make the room have a different atmosphere compared to cotton.
​

Think about your décor

All the little pieces of décor throughout your space come together and can build up to something great. All pieces of décor can create an impact, and it shouldn’t be neglected. However, you should also try and make your décor blend in as well. You don’t want your décor to stand out too much or it can shift the mood in the space. You’ll also want to maintain a balance between practical and decorative items in your home too.
