The word is out – rich color accents, nature-inspired design, modern fixtures and zen-like atmosphere are among the most trending ideas in the world of interior design. While homeowners want to maintain the warmth, comfort and inviting appeal of their home, they also want to encourage the ambiance of richness, tranquility and standout appeal.
Implementing trendy design ideas usually comes at a hefty price. However, there are many ways to redesign on a budget. Below are a few inexpensive ways to make your home more trendy.
Find Your Inspiration
In addition to determining the maximum amount of money you are willing to spend on your updates, the first step to redecorate your home is to find your inspiration. Think about all of the fabrics, colors, furniture pieces, flooring designs and other such ideas you wish to implement in your home. Once you know the directions you want to go, you will be able to find more inexpensive ways to achieve it.
Compare Prices, Use Coupons and Rebates
While it may be tempting to purchase the first item that catch your eyes, shopping without comparing prices is not a good financial decision. Thanks to the handy internet, you can quickly compare prices online. In addition, you should scour the web for coupons, deals and rebates to save even more.
Zen on a Budget
To achieve zen-appeal, your home should be free of clutter and disorganization. Sell or donate all of the outdated items that contributes to clutter and that doesn’t fit into your new design. If your home is smaller, a room addition will create more space and help deter clutter. Purchase inexpensive duel furniture such as storage ottomans, bookshelf coffee tables, and other such hideaway unit to maintain organization and tranquility.
Do It Yourself

Instead of hiring professionals, opt to do most of the projects yourself to curb costs. Painting your own walls is not as intimidating as it may seem. Additionally, you can rent a carpet cleaner to cleaning your own carpets and upholstery instead hiring a cleaning service. And you can enlist the aid of friends and family to help you put your new furniture pieces together.
Purchase Secondhand
It may seem a little strange to shop for trending items at a thrift shop or yard sale because items from such places are usually associated with the outdated and drab. However, you can find many durable pieces of furniture and décor to update and modernize.
Nature Decor
Implementing nature-inspired decor to your home is a wonderful way to add freshness to your space. Search for inexpensive nature-themed throw pillows and paintings to accent your rooms. Additionally, you can keep a few live plants in your home – house plants clean the air while naturally improving the atmosphere.
Take it Slow

While you may want to update your entire home all at once, your budget may not allow your to do so. Therefore, it may make more sense financially to renovate slowly. Update one project at a time until all of your projects are completed.
It doesn’t have to cost a million bucks to modernize your home–it just has to look like it did. The simple suggestions above will allow you to get the trendy feel you are after without breaking the bank.
