Decorate on a budget | 5 easy home décor tips

Spread the love by sharing!

I am excited to share with you these home décor ideas that won’t break the bank, requires no DIY skills and needs little or no tools to setup. Use these 5 easy tips to decorate your living space on a budget.

Having lived in rental properties since moving to the UK, and with sky-high rents and rising cost of living in London and most cities around the world, I understand how important it is to decorate your home on a budget. Besides, I know it can be discouraging trying to style your home knowing you’d have to spend time and money making it right before moving out.

I’ve put together these easy tips to inspire you to upscale your home décor and create a living space that you love.

1. Peel and stick Wallpapers

These are top on my list and absolute favourite as a quick way to add some colour and character to any wall.
There’s a variety of self adhesive wallpapers to choose from on the market and you’ll find anything from floral, metallic and geometric patterns, to brick and stone effects and so much more.
Self adhesive wallpapers are known to be the go to choice for renters and homeowners alike, who are looking to decorate with minimal effort. Particularly because no decorating expertise is needed and it requires less tools to install.

The advantage of using self adhesive over traditional wallpapers is that they are super easy to install and saves time since the glue is already applied to the back. It can be easily peeled off the wall and is less than likely to damage the walls when removed. Which makes it perfect for temporary living situations. 

How to use on a budget?

Apply to feature walls and wall borders to create a stunning an on-trend living space that truly reflects your personality.

2. Indoor Plants

Introducing plants into your home will not only brighten up your living  space but also has added benefits. Plants are known to help purify indoor air, boost productivity and reduce stress levels.

Plants are aesthetically pleasing and a budget friendly way to enhance just about any room when decorating.  Sometimes free, if you manage to get a few cuttings from established plants. Other ways to upgrade the look is to place plants in a decorative planter to create a feature in your space.

I prefer to hang my plants in Macramé indoor hangers to create a beautiful display. They come in various designs, and you’re sure to find one that complements your space. Most importantly, you can stick to your budget and save some money by learning to make one yourself. 

3. Mirrors

Mirrors are an absolute must have in every living space. A mirror can be used to add character and interest to a plain wall, and helps create a central focal point in a room.

They are not only practical, but can make a space look brighter and bigger than it is. To distribute light, position mirrors opposite a window or use a collection of smaller mirrors to create a stunning display.

What’s more, it’s available in a variety of shapes, design and sizes to fit any room and budget. Consider buying pre-owned mirrors to save some money and enhance your home décor on a budget.

4. Floating Shelves

Floating shelves are a budget friendly way to decorate any wall in your home. The hidden brackets and fittings allows you to create a seamless and sleek look. Simply add floating shelves to achieve a modern or minimalist style of décor.

Popular, inexpensive and versatile, you can decorate the shelves with ornaments, frames, plants or a statement piece on a budget. Even better, they serve as additional storage for your living spaces.

5. Wall Art

Styling your home with wall arts can bring a beautiful pop of colour and focal point into your space. It’s budget friendly and you can choose to decorate your space with art that expresses your individuality.

There’s a huge range of wall arts available to suit your personality and style. Instantly transform your space with framed prints, posters, canvas, plaques or any statement piece of your choice.

Create a stunning gallery wall using a collection of creatively arranged framed prints to instantly transform any space. There are so many options when decorating with wall art on a budget. For instance, you can print and frame your favourite photos or embark on a DIY art project to show off your creative skills. See HOMEBNC’s DIY wall art ideas for some inspiration!

📍Mercato, Mayfair. How about we go grab a gin 📍Mercato, Mayfair.

How about we go grab a gin cocktail or 2 at the church. Maybe some food too.

What do you think? @mercatometropolitano is definitely the place for it 🍹

I've wanted to go here for the longest time and as soon as the weather got slightly warmer, we seized the opportunity.

Mercato Mayfair is a food market in a beautifully restored church. The atmosphere was beautiful with a variety of bars, and different cuisines to choose from.

We were also surprised to find they had a hidden crypt below the main floor 😯 where you could sit to have beer, wine & cheese. As well as a the roof top terrace ( no amazing views from the terrace I'm afraid 😐).

I absolutely loved exploring this place ⛪

We sampled food and drinks at these stalls:
✨Italian steak house
✨Steamy & Co - BAO Dumplings Ramen
✨Jim & Tonic 
✨Pad Thai House

Can't wait to visit again in this summer! Next stop will be the Elephant & Castle site 😍

🍪One Pan Chocolate Chip Cookie🍪 Hey Lovelie 🍪One Pan Chocolate Chip Cookie🍪

Hey Lovelies! 
Life has been so busy lately and unfortunately social media has had to take a back seat for some very important plannings.

Made this chocolate chip pan cookie 🍪 for my daughter as a delicious treat to enjoy after school during this SATs exam week and wanted to share it with you all as well.

No fancy pictures here, just a quick and easy recipe to enjoy. No preplanning required. Infact I baked this in the first cookware I could grab which was a tart pan 😅

This recipe is perfect if you have very little time to spend in the kitchen. It came out perfect - pure gooey chocolatey goodness 🤤

Ready in less than 30 minutes, simply serve and enjoy with some ice-cream in this glorious sunshine we've had lately ☀️

See Recipe below 👇🏽

Ingredients
-----------------
- 21/2 Cups of Plain flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- I/2 tsp Salt
- 220g Butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 Egg Yolks
- 1/2 Cup white granulated Sugar
- 1 Cup Light Brown Sugar (Packed)
- Chocolate Chips

Method
------------
✨ In a mixing bowl, stir to combine the Flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
✨Place a pan on medium heat and add the butter until melted. Remove pan completely from heat. 
✨Now add the brown and white sugar, stir until combined. Then pour in the eggs and keep stirring - If you took the pan off the heat at the right time the eggs wouldn't scramble.
✨ Gently pour the butter mix into the Flour. Stir until a dough forms. Add in the chocolate chips and transfer the dough into a lightly greased skillet/ baking sheet or pan.
✨Bake for 20-25 minutes at 180°C until the cookie is nearly set in the middle.
