If you would love to redecorate, but fear your budget just can not handle the expense, just think of these two words: inspiration and perspiration.

You are going to make your own modern looking headboard. Modern design has a lot of geometric shapes in it, so what you need to do is cut out a bunch of shapes from the foam. Make them different sizes and thicknesses if you can. Paint them with a color that you want in your room, than glue them to the headboard. Placing on a nice plain color before you put them on the headboard will work, or you can just paint it white. You have now created a masterpiece and not spent much money.

There are other ways that you can use things like sheets or blankets that you never use. Buy some dye and make sure it’s a color that will go in the room you are redecorating.

Area rugs can be redecorated in much the same way. If you have an area rug that already matches your color scheme use paint to stamp geometrical designs onto the rug.
