Recession Proof ing your Décor

Wanting to redesign your space however, is left with the feeling that perhaps now is not the right time to do so? Are the constant warnings to cut back due to the state of the economy leaving you a bit hesitant? Honestly, with a little creativity and the ability to give a few key pieces a second life it can be done for a fraction of the amount. It’s truly about the ability to expand on your ideas and come up with keen ways to make your space look like you spent a great deal when you really didn't. When it comes to colors it’s always best to choose a color that is most appealing to you. Consider supplementing that color with several related colors in the same group for a nice harmony of hues. Choosing monochromatic shades is classic yet trendy. Adding accent color items as finishing touches like silver, bronze, black or white will boost your color scheme perfectly

Use existing items within your home. Visit your garage, basement and other rooms of your home and consider grouping similar items by them or color together to make a room have more a designer collection feel. Remember everything does not necessarily have to always match. Diversity brings a little something to be reckoned with.
