Interior design can take a huge toll on your finances if you aren’t careful. Here are some tips to make sure you stay within your designated budget.
- Make a plan before you start the project. Find some inspiration and a general theme and figure out how much you’d like to spend.
- Make changes to items that you already have before you buy new ones. Use pinterest to see if there are ways you can repurpose your furniture.
- Buy quality furniture and then figure out how to make everything cohesive with small touches.
- Start with unfinished pieces and stain or varnish as it fits.
- Try to find pieces from second-hard stores to save money.
- Don’t decorate everything at once; try one room at a time or when you’ve had time to design a space or piece of furniture.
- Hire a design student rather than a professional interior designer.
