Tips for a low-cost house with lots of style
Furniture with pallets
Making furniture out of wooden pallets has become very popular in the past few years. You can make anything from a comfy couch to a nice, big bed.
Want to know the best part of all? Pallets are both cost-effective and green because using them means recycling an old product. Take a look at this if you want some more ideas on pallet furniture.
A visit to your grandparents’ house
Look for antiques everywhere you go. That includes everything from your grandparents’ house to flea markets. These accessories and furniture from the past are a great way to give a low-cost house a lot of style.
For example, a sewing machine, an old suitcase, a chest of drawers, a typewriter, a record player…these are all great ways to add a stunning personal touch to your home.
Recycle to the max
Wooden boxes have been a decorative favorite for a long time now. Why? Because you can use them to make anything from shelves to a shoe rack or a desk, and they’re very cheap.
Don’t say no to these. You can paint them, give them a vintage look, or leave them untreated and natural. They can go well in any area, and you can use them by themselves or use several to make modules that fit your needs.
Green is life
Plants are a great form of decoration, plus, they can clean your space of toxins. There are definitely some cheap ones out there, too. Take a look at this article about how to pick out the right plants.
Another option is to decorate with something like eucalyptus branches. They wilt much more slowly than flowers, and they can make any corner look amazing if you put them in vases of different heights.
Reclaimed doors
If you love doing DIY projects, finding a reclaimed door is a great option for you. You can paint it, treat it, and use it as the headboard to your bed, or make a unique dining room table. This is a great low-cost alternative that will fill your house with style.
Paint can work wonders
Yes, we know, painting your house can get very expensive, but all we’re suggesting is adding a special touch here and there. For example, you could paint your radiators or bathroom tiles. There are even special kinds of paint for home appliances. Always remember: you can have style without spending tons of money.
Frames for a stylish house
Picture frames give you tons of decorative options. You can obviously put a photo or a print inside them and hang them on the wall. But if you have some nice, antique frames with special details, you could make them the center of attention. For example, put them together (empty) on a shelf, or hang them on the wall above your couch.
Big mirrors
Go out and find a vintage mirror. The bigger the better. Instead of hanging it, leave it on the floor or on top of a dresser. It has a lovely effect on a room (and nothing could be easier).
A low cost, stylish bed
We love beds with multiple sheets and fluffy pillows. They make you want to lay in them forever. There are plaid comforters and soft sheets that can make your bedroom the dreamiest part of the house.
Warmth and light in their purest state
Another great way to create your stylish low-cost house is good lighting. For example, you could buy a nice lamp without going over your budget. There are lots of options in major stores.
Don’t just limit yourself to lamps, either. Candles are an amazing form of decoration and will make any space intimate and inviting. Spread them in all over your house in different sizes and shapes for a gorgeous decor scheme, especially at night if you light them.
Now you have plenty of tips on how to create a stylish, low-cost house with things that are easy to make and find. So, what are you waiting for? Get decorating!
