Tips and Tricks on a Budget
Create your own Baroque Rococo elements
If you are crafty or enjoy a little project you can purchase a baroque mold to add your own fancy embellishments to furniture or walls! Fill with plaster or even a polymer clay, Just follow instructions on the packaging! links for products below if it's hard for you to get them in your area from a hardware store 'affiliate links'
Purchase a Sofa or chair cover instead of purchasing new.
To save on money or be able to still use a couch even when you change your theme purchase a fun slip cover, or thrift a blanket that suits your new color scheme! Now you don't have to buy a new couch. I added a few fun ones below to get you started. Pay attention to directions when ordering as I almost ordered the wrong size myself

Use a contact paper or stick on wallpaper on appliances
You can change out the look of an old dishwasher, or even a fridge with a fun print or even a metallic stick it on wallpaper. The one i used on my ugly old dishwasher above is over 3 years old and it's still holding strong and easy to clean. I linked it below incase someone likes the one I used! but there are many styles, 'may contain affiliate links'
Paint an old dresser with a color pop, Or replace handles
If you are like me and looove finding free furniture to fix up or make your own you can find and paint an old dresser or table. The 3rd slide was an old dresser I had since i was a child so it's a bit banged up, but with fresh paint looks almost new. Don't stop at just tables, paint chairs or other objects like ornate picture frames in a fun color. I used a matte spray paint above similar to the affiliate link below.
Cover old tiles with tile stickers
If you have some old tiles around your kitchen that you think could use some sprucing up then why not get some tile stickers? or even paint the tiles yourself and spray with an over coat!
Some tile stickers are flat stickers, and some are thicker with a tile look such as the 1st link below! Just don't put flammable stickers to close above a stove!

Paint old fabric or make pillows
You can get fabric paints if you are artsy and paint your own fabric to make a table runner, or pillowcase, you can even upholster old chairs with it or use it as a cover on top of a dresser or couch.
I included some fabric paints i have used below as well as a funky fabric if you are not a paint but still want to make something! For a cheaper more eco conscious choice thrift the fabric!

Add your own Gold border tape for embellishing
To get an art deco look for cheap buy some gold border tape and create an art deco print like the one above. There are many art deco prints you can find on line, I will link a free PDF of patterns for you below as well as a link to get some border tape if you are brave!
Use a stencil for different decade looks
The one shown is an art deco themed stencil but you can get so many different ones and they can make any project or wall more fun without the cost of wall paper. Just a can of spray paint or a sponge brush and acrylic paint or even a stain. One similar to above can be bought below. May contain affiliate links.
