Budget wise tips to create a decorator look
these basic rules. First select a
"signature shade" - the colour of
the sofa, rug or other furniture -
then add accessories in co
ordinating shades. Accessories
include frame prints and artwork,
throw pillows, vases, baskets, and
figurines that help set the style.
Artwork with a country theme,
landscapes or botanical prints,
baskets tied with calico ribbons,
dried flowers, a decorative quilt,
and a few country collectibles will
turn your living room into a
country cottage.
An oriental style rug, velvet
throw pillows, brass and crystal
accents and English hunting prints
on the wall, give an elegant
traditional look to a living room.
Little things mean a lot
Just a little imagination and affordable framed art can give a room a whole new look. Add a
few accessories and you can give every room an instant facelift — without spending a
fortune.

These days, making every penny
count is more important than ever -
but that doesn't mean we can't
indulge ourselves a little when it
comes to creating a beautiful and
inviting home.
These new tips from decorating
specialists make it easy to use
imagination instead of money to
create the home of our dreams -
without changing the furniture or
making a dent in the family budget.
•Walls with a difference - A little
paint, fabric and imagination can
add an exciting designer touch to a
room for very little money. Try do-
it-yourself stencils above doors,
along the ceiling border and around
window frames. Ordinary bed
sheets provide an elegant tented
look. Choose stripes or small floral
printed flat sheets, and make a 1-
inch hem at both ends. Install
curtain rods along the top and
bottom of each wall, then slide the
sheets along the rods carefully to
create a shirred effect. This is a
great way to disguise damaged
walls or dress up a bedroom or
bath.
• Artwork adds style - Give any
room an instant facelift by
showcasing an affordable art
collection, using art that matches
your decorating theme. For a
contemporary room, choose bright
images.
If country is your preference, try
landscapes, floral prints, or work
by artists such as Charles Wysocki
or Currier & Ives. Botanical prints
give a fresh, natural feeling to any
room. In the den, create a casual
look with colourful sporting prints,
equestrian or hunt scenes.
You can collect prints by a single
artist, by style or subject - or you
can mix and match to create your
own personal style.
• Raising the roof - Use artwork
to change the dimensions of a
room.
If ceilings are low, hang pictures
above eye level to create a feeling
of height. For high ceilings, display
pictures lower on the wall. In a
long, narrow hallway, use lots of
different sized prints hung at a
variety of levels to break up the
space.
Keep proportions in mind; try not
to overpower a small room, such as
a bathroom or guest bedroom, with
oversized prints. Instead, try a
group of smaller pieces with
similar styles and frame and mat
colours.
• Pretty as a picture - When
hanging pictures, use your head
before you use your hammer.
Group several small prints in a
similar style over the sofa, instead
of one large piece. Vary sizes and
shapes, and don't hang everything
in a straight line.
To find the perfect spot for each
work of art, cut a sheet of paper
approximately the size of each
picture you want to hang. Put a
small piece of double-sided tape on
the back and use these models to
work out perfect wall placement.
• Magic make-overs - The secret
to changing the style and feeling of
a room without refurnishing is
using inexpensive accessories.
