  2. It is good idea to put gravel near windows so is somebody is trying to peek inside can be heard. Lights are deterrent to thieves. So proper lighting of the house is must. At home all things from furniture, wall colors, to lighting fixtures, everything should be proportional, balanced and harmonious. To cut costs, use wallpaper on the top half of the walls then a border with a bold paint color on the bottom half of the walls. Car spray paint can be used for revitalize light fittings. Hang decorative baskets from hooks to provide extra storage.

  3. Curtains or decorating materials should match the sofa or cushion.

Create a mantle shelf by using two decorative brackets and a plank of wood. Fabric paints can give old pieces of furniture a new look.

  4. Inexpensive plastic garden can be painted and decorated for use as indoor flower planters. Cover table with a larger untrimmed cloth.  Then place decorative trim around the edge of a smaller cloth over the top. For kitchen cupboard doors, change the knobs and handles. Old cutlery can be bent and wired to the doors as handles. To get more light into a room, replace the top of the door with glass.

Thus by keeping in mind the budget one can decorate their house into a palace. What is needed is little patience and understanding.
