One thing that I think that makes your home look expensive right away without spending a penny is get rid of all your clutter and make sure your home is well organized and clean. Less is more!!! Lighting is also super important in a home, good lighting makes a huge difference and fresh paint also is good when you want to give your home a new fresh look without spending too much.

When I lived on a budget , I did make curtains, out of double bedsheets! theyre already hemmed at either end and long enough for a full drop.I bought cheaper white bedsheets and simply sewed on (by hand) the tape . I could bunch them together and they looked great. they were also slightly sheer , so I could have them closed and still have an open door or window to let in a cool breeze.

I agree with spending the most money where you seat everyday, keeping the house clean, the use of fresh flowers. and the DIY for those things we can easily transform ourselves. Sadly, my heart shrunk when you talked about the books and the chipped vases. I prefer my house to have the books I read and the vases or other pieces of decoration, to be either presents from people I love, or to come from travels, or days out with family and friends, or even be a treat that I saved for. It may take some time to collect them, but they'll be more personal, authentic and honest.

squishy fun look into going to a great school to learn. Interior Design involves been able to design where the walls go. Which are structural and have plumbing. Decorator just decorates the finished interiors. Learn about the principles and elements of design, art, furniture history, different historical periods. Start a portfolio of your work to use to show your talent when entering school. Learn how to use Sketch Up or Chie Architect, these are the programs many designers use. Hope this helps you.

Best tip ever... adding fresh flowers is the easiest way to make your home feel luxuriously fresh and pulled together. Even an inexpensive grocery store bunch can add so much elegance... and an especially nice touch to have fresh flowers in bedrooms and bathrooms! Now, even though I like the smell when you blow out a match, I'm a much bigger fan of using those long lighters to light candles. No mess and no stress if the candle is taking more time to light than wood left on the match. You never have to worry about accidental burned fingers or unsightly bits of match left behind in the candle! Plus, I like those types of things hidden away in a drawer, as opposed to being used as a decorator item. But, to each his/her own. Lots of good tips and a very enjoyable video! Well done, Sharrah.

Personally I think you should put the most amount of money on what you sleep on. You sleep at least 6-8 hours a night, you sit on a couch max 2-3 hours a day. Way more important to put your money on your mattress. 😴

Love your video :) A little tip from a florist ( me ) though; dont ever cut your flowers with siccors, or cutting pliers! You cut the flowers life in half! ( inside the flower stem there are lots of tiny tubes that suck up water, when you use siccors or pliers you smash thoose tubes and the flower can take up less water) buy a flower knife and cut the flower stem on an angle with a long cut! change the water 1 a day and your flowers will last double as long! also; Did you know you can dry hydragena? In atumn the flower stores take in cut flowers, the hydragena in pretty atumn colours! The atumn hydaga usally dryes wery well. this is what you do; Cut the flower stem with a flower knife and have them in a wase vith fresh water as you normally would. after 1 - 2 weeks yuo can feel the flowers get a dry thin flowers. then its time to pour out the water and dy the stem, put the flower in a dry vase without water ad lt the flower fully dry. the hydragena will keep its vivid colours for 1year and look exaxtly like fresh cut hydragena :)

Thank you Sharrah for all your creative ideas! The matchsticks in a spice jar is very clever and one I will try. Also, Trader Joes is a great place to buy fresh flowers in mini bouquets and plants in decorative pots inexpensively for those on a tight budget. Fresh flowers and indoor plants are food for the soul and make a home so welcoming.

I made those same shelving for my kitchen (@ 5:09 in the video) and even used the same looking brackets and the stain for the wood. This is seriously the best way to go if you want a super simple diy. Just get a 16 in by whoever long you need (depending on the length of the shelving you're looking for), have them cut it for you right at the store. Sand it down, stain it, and mount them. It took me one evening to make open shelving for my kitchen and it seriously looks amazing just like the ones in this video and I think it only cost me like $30 to $35 :)

@joemomma7 6 лет назад

I'm an electrician so adding a receptacle isn't a problem (hiding wires), but some people cannot afford a wall mount for a television. Just get a stick of Steel strut, measure the back of your television so you do not have any exposed strut and cut it about 10 inches or so, (depending on size of TV), shy of your TV and mount it to the wall then cut a piece of little shorter to where you can get the screws with washers and mount to the back of the television and just prop it up and it'll hang perfectly. Very cheap, only con is that the TV will not rotate. Very sturdy though.

@diannew6066 6 лет назад

Joe Momma, what sort of saw would we need to cut the steel strut? I'm an old lady who lives in an apt, so am wondering if Home Depot or Lowe's cut items like that for their customers?

@joemomma7 6 лет назад

I don't know if they would cut it. Seems like they would but not 100%. I either use a band saw or a Milwaukee 18v circular saw with a metal cutting bit. Hopefully they will cut it for you. Hope this helps.

@joemomma7 6 лет назад

Forgot the other ways. But hacksaw or Sawzall will do the trick as well. Again hope it helps

@descoiatorul 6 лет назад

I recently found a much nicer and cheaper idea: mount it on an easel. Depending on the size of the TV, you can get away with a normal lyre easel (the three-legged folding kind) or a full frame one (fixed frame, with thick slippers). It makes it look so vintage and exotic, like something out of Indiana Jones.

@joemomma7 6 лет назад

Silverback Gorrilla sounds like you might be on to something. Very thrifty idea, I like thrifty.lol. But how will it hold up with a house full of kids.

I just don't understand how people don't see it! And I agree that when you iron the cheapest curtains they will look much better. I have one from Walmart cheep, one from BBB, expensive. They look the same after ironing.

Ever wonder what happens to the flowers that florists order but don't get enough sales to put them in arrangements? Florists sell them at a great discount. If you're stopping by once a week or every other week, and take the time to get to know a couple florists, esp those you actually do order arrangements from, they'll go so far as to add extra flowers much like bakers offer their bakers' dozen or dozen+ w/regards to day-old breads & pastries. In fact, she or he may even add fresher flowers at little to no extra charge. The best friendship I had with a florist was an elderly man who owned & operated a flower shop that was on my way home after picking up my oldest daughter (only daughter at the time; 10yrs difference in their age) from daycare. I stopped in about every Friday to buy discounted flowers w/baby's breath & greenery from him. Sure enough, he began adding extras w/greenery & baby's breath. He even showed me some tips to make them look nice longer, and he taught me a little more than the basics of flower arranging in the vases I had. My husband took ordering flowers seriously. Every arrangement he had sent were practically perfect. The color, crisp features were downright pristine & regal. The vases used were high quality. He did this b/c the flowers die within several days to a few weeks, but the vases were something that could last & be used again for other flowers. I still use the vases to arrange cut flowers from the flowers planted along the landscaping islands. I display them around the house.

As a florist I can solve that mystery; leftover flowers are used for funeral decorations that go on graves, and that are used for the funeral. That way almost all flowers can be used :) If you see bundels of flowers on sale its becourse the shop orderd alot of one type of flower and sell them in bundels :) The idea is to sell alot a cheaper price rather than selling just a little for a expensive price :) We did that in all the shs worked for XD Its a win win for everyone! The customers can get bundels of otherwise expensive flowers and the shop earn alot of money :)

@amia_calva 6 лет назад

Continuing with the budget friendly decorations, can you do a video on how to take an object and do inexpensive adjustments to make it look more in style or have it change with the seasons?

Great tips! For those here that still feel $1000,- is quite steep for a sofa or for their budget, try IKEA. Their sofa's are great quality. Don't go for the cheapest ones, but the Ektorp or other staple models are more than OK. We had for ten years and then bought a new slightly more expensive sofa, and it looks worse after 4 years than the Ektorp did after ten. And I loved that I could swap the cover when I wanted a new colour. I bought the white cover second hand and dyed it. Just a tip. And in general, thrift store! But indeed, clean up and hang curtains or all efforts will be useless :-)

@GoblinsAreAGirlsBestFriend 6 лет назад

Man I highly disagree with the mounted TV thing. It _really_ depends on your room layout, the style of the room and your options for TV cabinets. There are plenty of cabinets that would look far classier than wall-mounts in some specific rooms.

@raynew720 6 лет назад

Love the faux marble top idea! It sounds like a great way to further use this super-heavy wood cabinet that I'm using as an island. I thought of adding heavy glass cut to place on the top; hwr, over the many years my MIL had it, she kept a coffee maker on it, which caused one of the books to bow up. This bowed piece of wood makes the idea of using glass impossible. The cabinet is so heavy it takes 4-5 grown men to move it into my house. It was made at a once very popular wood furniture maker/seller in NC called This End Up. I played the area that pertains to the marble top over & over again until I think I have an answer to the problem. If I can get one of my husband's to make a wooden cap-top with sides added like the top of a box, and get the measurements practically perfect enough to add blocks on the outer edge of where the cabinet's edges are & at the right raised height, then make the blocks & use wood glue to adhesed them to the bottom of the cap piece so it makes the cap cover level by not having it sit flush over the bowed piece so it doesn't rock when using. Then, the marble adhesive can be added and carried over the added sides to make it look like it is a marble slab top. What do you think? The cabinet/island is more of a fat rectangle shape. It's a bit longer than it is wide. There are 2 doors over the cabinet & it has the one door that has a lip so the other door meets it when closed. There is enough space on the middle shelf & the bottom area on both sides, to store casserole dishes stacked 2-3 deep on both sides, top & bottom. And there's plenty of room around the stacks but not enough to make a 3rd section in the center. Hope this gives you an idea of what it's like. Also, the wood isn't sealed but it has a nice aged look. One of my brothers-in-law bought it when he worked for the wood furniture company. Can you do some videos on real homes that average/middle class families live in such as the country-style ranch & Cape Cod homes (1400sq ft to 2000sq ft) and how to budget decorate/redecorate homes without huge picture windows or bay windows, no patio sliding doors. Just an average house in a delightful little city 100mi inland of NC. Thanks. Happy Holidays & Bright New Year.

@shofarsongbird 6 лет назад

If you frequent thrift stores on the regular (like at least once a week) you can find a lot of stuff that is similar to what she has, or at least comparable. Think outside of the box. Instead of that big cool clock, what if you found a really gorgeous mirror? You can always repaint it with some cheap spray paint you get at a garage sale, or a habitat for humanity restore, or even lowes has a discount area where people made returns and you can get a good half can of spray paint or even a whole galloin of a nice color of paint for a major discount! It might take some time to get the final look, but it's ok to build it piece by piece!

@shofarsongbird 6 лет назад

If you go to ALDI, they have nice little bouquets of flowers for $4. Trader Joe's also has budget friendly sprays of flowers. Aldi is getting into selling plants and succulents for cheap as well. These two stores really help make fresh flowers and house plants accessible instead of being crazy expensive like most stores. Another thought: why not get fresh flowers just when you're going to have company, instead of all the time? Unless you have people coming to your house every single day, this is another option so you don't have to completely turn away from fresh flowers, IF you want them. If youre not a flower person, that's ok too! House plants and succulents are another way to make a home look expensive and fresh and beautiful, and they are a one time buy, unlike flowers. And there are a lot of plants now that have colorful leaves, even bright reds, oranges and yellows, or pinks or purples. Haven't seen any blue ones yet, but I'm on the East side of the US, so I don't know what the West has to offer!

@@bjwilliams I looked it up and, online, it said an electric stove is at higher risk of fire, but electric candles are at a lower risk. I burn candles for the smell, to reduce bad odors in my house. I have considered many other options out there, though, including room diffusers.

I don't agree about hanging the TV. I wouldn't own a cheap (plastic) TV stand. Our 55"TV is placed on an expensive, beautiful large piece of furniture, not actually a TV stand but that's what I use it for. I have an antique clock that sits on one side, and a rectangular picture placed on a picture stand on the other side. It's very attractive. No need to hang my TV, I'm quite happy with how mine looks.

@shofarsongbird 6 лет назад

Way to think outside of the box! It's rare and makes your place stand out from the crowd!

@dianabaskin1944 6 лет назад

I also don't see how it makes things look better. I have mine hung over my fireplace downstairs but my other ones are on stands. I have a faux fireplace/heater stand in my bedroom and the one with shelf in my computer room. I have another one on a book case. I think they look fine.

@candylove49 6 лет назад

Some people live in places where they aren’t allowed to hang their TVs, so using a nice piece of furniture is a good option.

@mikeysaint4368 5 лет назад

And I bet you have the TV just a few feet away from you too, like we do, so that you can appreciate the picture quality? Not on the other side of the room like in this silly, ignorant and smug video.

@Hannaheh94 5 лет назад

I think this video is aimed at younger people with a more modern style who are living on a budget and don't have the ability to invest in an attractive TV stand, or who could perhaps use their limited floor space for other things. I, too, like the traditional more "formal" look but I also have extra space in my apartment and extra money in the budget for some nicer pieces of furniture.

You can have two sets of books. I have seen bookshelves made with only faux spines and they aren’t really a full book. This has been a trick for a “den-like sophisticated look” for many many years.

@mikeysaint4368 5 лет назад

I see plenty of wasted space here, and silly suggestions. TV stands don't look tacky, they look practical - and who even looks at them? Having a TV on a wall can be practical if you have a lot of people living in one property, but you're craning your neck to look up at it, it's a long way away, and you're not getting the benefit of HDTV or 4K picture quality. L-shaped sofas aren't necessary or ideal for most families, and they would get a better view of the TV (because it'd be closer) if they had it on a large, strong coffee or coffee/utility table. You'd also have all your remotes, consoles and game controllers within easy reach, and be able to appreciate what you're watching. Wall mounted TVs are for hotels and care homes. You don't buy Game of Thrones on Blu Ray, or God of War on PS4 to squint at it from 12 feet away.

@Doomsterlobster 5 лет назад

I don't mind using books in creative and irreverent ways (we have a few thousand and small kids who're constantly pulling them down, so they're sort of a floor covering too), but it just looks tacky and embarrassing if they're obviously only there for decoration. When you have a pile of color-coded books placed neatly under some porcelain dogs or candles, it's obvious they're not casually there for reading. The trick with books is that they only work if they look natural and effortless, like you're an actual reader who's just comfortable living with them. Also, their primary function (apart from being read) is to communicate who you are and what your interests are. If you try to just buy that look, it backfires.
