Quick and Affordable Decorating Ideas

If you have a wicker table or chest or other type of furniture where the top tends to move slightly when you place an accessory on top, then utilize the services of a tray. Place your accessories in a tray that fits the decor and scale of the table. The wider base of the tray will keep the accessories stable and you can arrange them any way you like quite easily.

Dress up an austere piece of furniture with a surprising twist - a decorative tassel. You can make it yourself or visit any window treatment store to find something suitable. It's a very simple, easy decorating tip that can add an additional touch of class and originality to your decorating style. This setting is a tone on tone look, but you can do something colorful instead. Just remember that it's a small item and don't over-do the idea where the tassel commands all of the attention in the room. Think "blend" not "focal point".

Ordinarily one would expect to see the hanging shelf unit filled with pots and pans, greenery or baskets and the like. Try something different. Add an elegant look by arranging an assortment of candles in different sizes and shapes. Light the candles for special occasions. It's that unexpected decorating element that will really add interest and spice to your decorating efforts.

Decorating need not be expensive to be spectacular. It's just a matter of trying to think a little outside the box and using the things you love the most in unusual ways or in unusual places. It doesn't take a huge wallet - it just takes come creativity.
