Easy and cheap home decorating ideas for Indian households

 Decorating the home does not necessarily have to be expensive. There are many creative ideas which are quite simple yet quite effective in beautifying a home. In this article, we will take you each of these ideas step by step with gorgeous pictures from local Indian interior architects to illustrate the ideas. There's an idea for every budget and taste here so we hope that you will be inspired to try it out at home. The ideas range from rearranging the furniture to creating a focal point and buying new curtains. So some of the ideas don't even require you to spend any money at all, but instead just require some creativity and effort. The main objective of decorating is often to create a new and fresh look, and a fresh look often doesn't require a lot of money to be spent as you will see from this article. 


1. Rearrange the furniture

Yes that's right, sometimes there's no need to spend money at all to give your home a new look and feel. It may require a bit of effort and help to move heavy furniture around, but it's definitely worth the trouble. The living room is a great place to try this idea as the sofas, armchairs, coffee tables, side tables and cabinets can be moved around relatively easily compared to big beds or built-in kitchen furniture which can't be moved around. Decorating the home is often about achieving a fresh look and rearranging furniture is one of the most budget friendly ways to do it. A fresh look can make a home feel brand new. 





2. Create a focal point

Creating a focal point in a room can help to make decorating cheaper. This is because the focal wall or focal area will take away the attention from other areas of the room. For example, in a living room, the main focus is often the television and many modern homes often make the TV wall the focal wall for this reason. Pictured here, we see a simple demonstration of the idea above. The TV focal wall here has a wooden theme and glass shelves decorated with framed family photos. 


3. Create a green wall

Proper green wall installations can be expensive, but there's a much more affordable DIY version of the same concept. Attaching a few potted plants to the wall with some slabs of wood to give it definition is actually quite an inexpensive way to create a green wall. Add some lights to highlight it even more, and one focal wall is covered. 





4. New curtains

New curtains can be made to dress up your windows for a relatively cheap price, especially in India. The cheapest way to do it is to pick out a colour and pattern of fabric that is well suited to the rest of the room and then have it tailored to fit the windows.





5. Switch the carpets around

Carpets are not only decorative, but also a great way to make a room more cosy. Using different types of carpets in a room can create an interesting effect too. If there are already several carpets at home, you can just switch the carpets around—meaning take the carpet from the bedrooms and place it in the living room, and take the carpets from the living room and place it in the bedrooms.





6. Add a few ottomans

Ottomans are a great addition to any room as they are not only functional but decorative as well. There are a myriad of designs to choose from too. To make things more interesting, get a few different types of ottomans. 





7. Change the cushion covers

Something as simple as changing the cushion covers can create a new look for the living room. Choose cushion covers of different types of patterns and colours to create a more visually interesting room. 





8. Plants in the bathroom

Don't neglect the bathroom when it comes to decorating. One of the best ways to decorate a bathroom is with indoor plants and fake flowers. Certain indoor plants can also help to filter and purify the air in the bathroom, creating a more refreshing experience.
