Well, there is always a way if you try to find one, and guess what! I am going to tell you 7 ways instead of 1. So this is going to be your ultimate guide to finding the best pocket-friendly décor ideas.

Let’s get started!

Establish your budget:

This is the most vital part before starting off, obviously, you have to decide the budget and set a margin on your wallet that how much you are going to spend on your overall décor

And it is not necessary that you can only change your living rooms look with big impacts, small things can freshen up your room as well.

1) Color em’up:

The best and the foremost way to make your room look totally appealing is just by changing its wall colors. It is one of the most inexpensive ways according to me.

Recently I’ve renovated my living room as well and to give it a different look I’ve opted a stylish two-tone theme, three walls are of blue color whereas the fourth one is in grey color.

Honestly, that wall gave a striking look to my living room.

2) Look around for available options:

My house is full of some wanted and unwanted things, and you have to use your creativity here, find such things and use them whenever needed and I am sure can always find such stuff here and there.

Just for an idea, I am telling you this, there was a small side table in my kid’s room and now I’ve shifted it into my living and using it as a plant stand.

Or you can also use such tables as an Ottoman by cutting their legs off to a shorter length.

3) Photo wall:

I really like the idea of hanging photo frames, trust me they look absolutely stunning. Find the best spot of your living room and hang some photos of your family, friends and of course your pet.

This will not only give your room a very lively look but it will also let you memorize some good memories with your loved ones.

PRO TIP: arrange your frames in a geometric manner for giving it a funkier look.

4) For the love of books:

There is nothing wrong with saying that I am a BOOKWORM, Hey! Don’t worry if you are not one, this is just an idea to make your living room look even better. 

BUT, if you are living with kids and elderly people it’s a very good idea to keep some good collection of books. You can easily purchase a small bookshelf and throw in some novels or any other educational books you like and fix that shelf at any walls corner.

FUN FACT: This will also leave an impact on your guests as well that you are a very intellectual kind of a human :P

5) Focus on flooring:

The most neglected part of any room is the floor, but your floor does create an impact, a good looking floor in an ultimate eye-catcher.

And to make it look exceptional without spending too much money, you can go for PVC flooring sheets, they are not only cheap but they also seem super stylish once they are placed.

Match your sheets according to your walls and furniture for the perfect look. You can find cheap yet nice sheets under $2 to $5 per square feet.

6) Upgrade your couch:

Give your couch a quick and appealing upgrade by just changing the pillows, YEP! You heard it right.

Try some vibrant looking pillow covers, here you can use your creativity like you can add one or two glittery pillow covers. There is no harm in adding some BLING to your room! ;)

7) Add accessories:

By using your imagination you can add some MAGICAL affect to your living room. If you or your kids are good at making different crafts then watch DIY videos on YouTube for amazing ideas, where you can learn to make new things as well as how to create new things out of old ones.

Last month when I renovated my living room, I and daughter made different origami things like butterfly, flowers, and birds.

You can add different accessories like real or fake flower arrangements, or put 4, 5 candles of same colors and different heights on your coffee table or side table.
