what are some basic inexpensive ways to make my home more beautiful?
Hi, I am a terrible decorator. I have some nice paintings, but other than the paintings and my furniture I don’t have a flare for making my space more pretty. I am in an apartment, so I can’t paint the walls. My walls are cream and my carpet beige. I have a black couch and tan-colored marble topped kitchenette. So its very basic. My paintings are kind of Victorian. Does anyone have any basic inexpensive ideas how to keep my home more beautiful? By the way, I don’t want any plants or flowers, because of allergies and I think they bring bugs. Thanks.
Black sofa? … Contempory meets Victorian.
Print black and white photos from your computer … you could even find some Victorian photos to convert into black and white. The internet is a wonderful source of artwork. Mount pictures in black frames and arrange over your sofa.
Arrange frames over the sofa but do not line everything up. Scatter frames within a defined space … such as the length of your sofa.
Go to the dollar store for you frames … paint them black if necessary.
I have done this to my studio and it looks stunning…..
Get a black vase and put a splash of color … red, turquoise … what ever your favorite color is. Simpler and streamline are always a good way to go even if it means using just one flower.
