Unique Glass Home Decor

We all know how house prices have went up these days. Many young couples overspend when they purchase their home, leaving little money for improvements.

We came up with a few tips of how to decorate your house with limited resources.

1. Use standard subway tiles for the kitchen backsplash, forming a running-brick pattern to create a different look.

2. Combine custom and stock elements.
Select stock cabinetry for lower cupboards but upgrade to custom at eye level to improve the appearance.
In the bathroom, choose stock cabinetry but opt for a stone counter top.
Select beautiful hardware for a unique final touch. You can find knobs in different finishes. Small details make a big difference

3. Mix inexpensive items with expensive ones to add dazzle to the mundane.
A combination of a cotton throw or a luxury mohair throw and decorative pillows, thoughtfully displayed could add glamour to your home.

4. Replace the smaller, older style molding with the wider newer style ones. Inexpensive wide press board baseboards can look expensive and elegant and no one can tell they are not hardwood.

5. Consider investing in original art or frame prints using oversize matting and framing.

6. Lastly, shop around, take full advantage of sales. Another useful tool is those time limited, no interest and no payment plans that some stores offer. Use these offers with the intention of making regular payments on that purchase to pay it off before the due date arrives, thus saving any interest but spreading the total cost over a period of time. Just make sure they are paid before the due date!
