8 cheap ideas to decorate your living room

In times of crisis we have to look very carefully at what we spend the money, so today we will continue in the line of ideas "low cost" to decorate or redecorate the living room or living room of your apartment, apartment or house with ideas that are original, ingenious and, above all: cheap.

REMOVE THINGS FROM THE CABINET

I do not know if you have noticed, but the textiles, dress a lot, and we are not talking about the bedding, or the covers, or the cushions of the sofa. If you have a blanket with a nice pattern, leave it on the sofa, armchair or a chair and it will work as a decorative element.

MAKE MANUALITIES

DIY is the best way to decorate your home with original, exclusive and unique elements without spending just money. Of course, you have to have some time and be crafty. In this way, we can use two ideas. The first is to customize a cushion by stitching a few words over it, with felt, for example. The second is to make a kind of abstract watercolor, based on spots, and frame it. You're an artist!

PAINT WALLS AND FURNITURE

Really, if you are bored in the living room of your house, there is nothing to redecorate it like painting a wall or several of another color. It gives a totally different atmosphere and you hardly spend 20$ if you buy the paint in a cheap establishment. You can also paint a piece of furniture of another color (yes, make sure it is a wood that can be painted, and, if not, put a layer of primer before you start). For example, you can paint a dresser or a stool. Do you think?

BRING OUT THE BEAUTY OF THE EVERYDAY

As we have seen with the blanket, the elements of our daily life can be very beautiful and we can use them as decorative elements, as, for example, our collection of boots or even the coats of our family members. Look for beauty in day to day and you will find couches on Amazon.

CREATE A SMALL MUSEUM

Do you feel like playing at being a museum curator? Set aside a dresser for your house for small figures and objects that have come to your home in the most different ways (souvenirs, gifts, inheritances ...). If you have nothing, take a walk through a thrift store and you will find very curious objects for little money. The combination of all of them will make your dresser or showcase a unique place.

PLANTS

Indoor plants never fail, it's a fact. They dress any table or any corner of the house by themselves. They are beautiful and we can play with putting a pot to them so that they still look more. They are one of my favorite elements and make our house a home closer to nature and more distant from an exhibition of furniture.

CHANGE SITE BOOKS

I suppose if you are a literary man or a literate, like us, you will panic when you see your books in a fireplace or in a place that overlooks the bookshelf or the library. Even so, we must recognize that, although it is not a decorative element, they work very well as such, especially if they have a beautiful and careful binding. Contextualizing them creates a striking and bold effect. For the purists, you can start with magazines and catalogs.

MOVE AND COLLECT THE FURNITURE

Surely your mother, your aunt or your grandmother or did: change furniture on site whenever they were overwhelmed or tired of their house or flat. It is a classic that never goes out of fashion and that is fine to change the house and without spending a penny. Try to redistribute the tightness: you will take surprises, you will see.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
