Try a trio of bold canvases
an oversized canvas covered with simple shapes in colors you like is a way to add a decorative element of origin to a room. canvases are inexpensive, which is an opportunity to really put your artistic mark on your home.
Triptychs are a great way to make a bold style statement as well as the filling of a white wall. But it works as well on a much smaller scale. The joy of painting your own is that if you do not like it, you can start again.
Alternatively the source some original art from one of the most affordable art houses such as Artfinder, or go to a show like The Affordable Art Fair. Art graduates often sell their work online, too, which is a great way to invest in something you love without the high price tag.

Think outside the wardrobe
this looks just fantastic - and what a brilliant and affordable way to bring a little cheekiness in your house. I think it could work with all kinds of things - odd socks, handkerchiefs or teddy bears, even in the room of your child. The painted handrail really binds together this look, too. So be bold and choose an accent color of your screen and use it elsewhere in the room to maximize the return.

Take on the details architecture
using contrasting colors on your woodwork is another way to bring a little fun into space. I love these lime green baseboard that really highlight the black fireplace and make the star of the show. This idea might work brilliantly in other areas too: you can choose a new color for your doors or maybe just architraves, or add color to a chair rail or picture.
The painting is a great way to be adventurous and you still have the ability to paint back the original color once you've exhausted your creativity!

Add character with books
You can often squeeze a shelf in the smallest of places and I love how this character arrangement made in this small cloakroom.
If you do not have a lot of books, and then down to your sales car-boot, market or charity nearest store where you can find hundreds of paperback books for pennies rather than pounds . Paint the shelves makes them feel even more bizarre and shows you can really give life to even the smallest areas of your home.

Invigorate with a mural
wall stickers are a cheap and efficient way to add a piece of art in your room when you do want to go to the expense and labor of wallpapering. There are many available stickers that can be peeled off without causing damage to the paint, too - a real plus when you fancy a change.
Obviously, the larger the area you want to cover, it will cost less to choose the space above the loo is a great idea because it still makes a great impact. On a side note, I also like the pink painted radiator that binds with small pink accessories and works beautifully with the gray.

Frame your treasures
small boxes frames are very affordable and you can buy them in most of the top stores in the home street . And the possibilities are endless: you could frame the shells that you found on the beach, the first footwear for your baby or a piece of precious jewelry you no longer wear.
Clustering small images together on the wall creates a more characteristic and gives this eclectic feel so many people want to achieve in their homes.

Choose small mirrors with large reflections
I love this group bullseye mirrors, but if your budget will not stretch to these, you might get a collection of second hand framed mirrors for a similar look. Mirrors are a great way to bounce light around a room and the little ones are sometimes less intrusive and more flattering, especially in a bedroom. Sometimes you do not want all of your thinking when you just get out of bed!

Bring new purpose to old pieces
Vanity units can be very expensive and if you do not need to charge storage, supply an old table or chest and retro-fitting of a pool is a great way to achieve that look without huge expense.
You can, of course, give your room a new lease of life with a coat of paint and new handles, but I like this intact, peeling paint look. More ornate pieces work brilliantly in the locker room, where you might want a little more glamorous, and where you can get away with something strange that does not need to match the rest of the house.

Lean rather than hang
Sometimes hanging pictures is too big commitment - especially if you are a tenant. And if you like change, by simply resting on a ledge image instead, you can continue to move forward. shallow rims are very affordable and look great when they are painted to match the walls.
I like the empty golden frame on the shelf - and it is much cheaper than having to buy the paint, too! This look can be as large or as small as you like, but it will always look great. And when you are bored, you can soon make things a bit with a new piece of art or an accessory.
