Read on to check out some easy and affordable home decor ideas!
#1 Create a flower wall
Having a wall of flowers can instantly transform your room into a floral wonderland! For a warm colour palette, choose artificial flowers that are a mix of red, yellow, orange and pink. For a girly and dreamy look, choose sakura flowers or wisteria vines!
If you don't like the look of artificial flowers, use dried flowers instead which will last much longer than fresh flowers. You can find affordable dried flowers at plant nurseries around Singapore.
To display the flowers, stick them onto your walls using tape or tie them to craft wires or strings and attach them on a hanging branch.
#2 Decorate with artificial plants
While plants are great for decorating, it may not be the best idea to have them in your room where you sleep. Try artificial plants instead!
#3 Add a canopy
If you want to feel like a princess, simply add a canopy above your bed! This gauze fabric hangs beautifully and brings an ethereal look to a simple bedroom.
#4 Hang fairy lights
They're called fairy lights for a reason! Just by hanging up these delicate lights behind your bed, you can create a magical, fairy-like feeling in your room. To avoid any fire hazards, make sure to choose battery-powered LED fairy lights.
#5 Go minimalist
This is the ultimate budget room makeover idea, costing a total of $0! Clear away decorative objects and store your belongings in drawers and cabinets. With a bare room and just a few selected items on display, your room will have an artsy, minimalist look! This interior decor idea doubles as a makeover and spring cleaning all in one.
#6 Display a collection of items
If you've been collecting something, install a floating shelf in your room to display them. If you haven't actively collected anything, look through your belongings and see if you have any items that have a common attribute or theme, like a group of items of the same shape or colour. A cohesive collection on display creates a unique look that reflects your individual personality and tastes!
#7 Display frameless art or photos
Displaying photos and art without frames is not only cost-saving, but it also gives your room a grunge and industrial vibe. Plus, it also saves you the hassle of drilling holes in the wall!
Mixing random photos and art on an entire wall can look cluttered and overwhelming. For a cohesive look, display the ones that either all have the same size or the same colour scheme like a collection of black and white photos.
To hang them up, simply use tape or blu tack to stick them on your wall. For a more interesting look, you can use picture hanging strips to stick on clips that are holding the photos or art.
#8 Add pillows and blankets
Considering how small the homes in Singapore are, your bed is probably the biggest thing in your room and it naturally gets the most attention. That's precisely why it's the best part of your room to decorate!
Pick a colour scheme like pink, white and grey and stick to it when shopping for pillows and blankets. Layer the items to create a cosy, stylish bed which will instantly beautify your room!
You can find the mentioned home decor items like the canopy and fairy lights at affordable prices on online websites like Lazada, Aliexpress and Qoo10! Which home decor idea caught your eye?
