Have you ever been stuck on a tight budget in need of something to throw up on the walls for a bit of pizzazz? Here are two ideas I think are well worth considering…
First, think frames — you can get cheap and interesting frames at just about any yard sale, estate sale or auction and, when spray painted the same color, can make a really interesting piece or collection on the wall. In this instance, used to frame a little eye candy — but sometimes, an empty frame on its own does the trick.
Second, think fabric — you’ve probably seen this quite a bit if you’re an IKEA devotee but if you take a look at images across the web, you’ll find lots of imaginative ways to showcase your favorite fabric or a coordinating fabric with your room. One of the more unusual approaches is to use a needlework round as your frame — this is so simple — it requires no special skill or framing expense and, perhaps best of all, the fabric can be changed on a whim or seasonally if you want to change up your look.
