girls bedroom decorating ideas you image
squishi
We live in a rental house, and I would like some simple decorating ideas and/or tips that won't cost a lot of money but that will make a diffenence even if it's small things that can be done or brought over time to add to the overall affect. I would like to concentrate on the living room first. Any websites that may help me would also be much appreciated. Thank you.

Okay... well, first you have to start with deciding on a 'Style' or 'Theme'. What do you want your Living Room to feel/look like?
Country? Log Cabin/Rustic? Victorian? Shabby Chic? Contemporary/Modern? Tuscan? French? Traditional? Old-World?
Are you going to be using existing furniture, or buy new furniture? If existing furniture, what kind of furniture is it? If it won't fit in with the 'Style' you want, you can always slipcover the pieces.
What kind of flooring is in the Living Room? Carpet? Hardwood? Tile? Linoleum? And what colour is it? An Area Rug will go a VERY long way in 'anchoring' the 'Style' you have chosen.
Then you want to look to the Draperies. You may want to replace the existing ones (keeping them in a bag to be dry-cleaned and re-hung when you move out, taking the new ones with you). If you have Blinds in there, (what colour are they?), you can always add a Valence and some Panels to embellish them.
Then you want to look for Art Work that will better represent the 'Theme' you have chosen.
As well, you would want to consider Bookcases, End Tables, Ottomans, and your Entertainment Center if your Television and/or Stereo are in there. What are they sitting on, or cased-in, now?
You want your Colours to be represented thru the Area Rug, Slipcovers, Draperies/Valences, Art Work, and Sofa Pillows.
Can you Paint the walls? What will your Landlord allow you to do?
All these things, (except Painting the wall, of course, *lol*), can be taken with you when you move.
As you can see, 'Decorating' is really done in 'layers'... each layer building upon the previous one. But the 'Style' must be chosen first. Then the 'Colours' you want to use to represent that 'Style'.
Here's a couple of links to help you decide on a 'Style/Theme'...
