No matter how large or small your decorating budget, careful planning is the best present you can give your home.

It’s easy to be overwhelmed at the thought of a complete decorating makeover.  Proper pre-planning will help you bring things into focus and give you a specific priority list. By making a written long range decorating plan, your makeover project will go from dull to dazzling over the course of time.

On a budget?  There are plenty of major changes you can make with little effort and expense.  Wallcovering is one way you can achieve a maximum affect on a budget – as is paint.

Window treatments always add an air of sophistication to any room.  If you long for a beautifully designed window treatment, but can’t afford it just yet, why not create it in stages or layers.  Start with an under treatment that works well by itself.  Later you can combine your under treatment with over drapery and even a cleverly designed top treatment for a luxurious, layered effect.  Once the foundation is in place, your room will already look better, and it will be easy to add the perfect finishing touches when your decorating budget allows.

Whether you’re just sprucing up a little or undertaking a major redecorating project, the key to success on any budget is planning.
