When starting any project where a child is concerned, it would be a great idea if you get them involved. What you need to remember is that this is their room, and you want the space to reflect just who they are and what they love. So why not grab a pen and some paper (as your child is likely to come up with 100’s of ideas) and get talking!

When decorating a child’s room, choose the wall color carefully. It is important that you pick a color that matches the theme that you have chosen to make sure that everything complements and looks like they belong together.

If you want to add a splash of color to a child’s room, and do not want to repaint, then add a solid colored rug.

As curtains can be expensive, why not get a blind instead. Then hang a sheer panel in front of it. You can also add some color to a sheer panel so that it further complements the child’s room by painting it with fabric paints (you could even let your child do it themselves).

Why not purchase a new light or lampshade to match the theme? This is a great way of adding a new look to your child’s room, as well as being a cost effective way of reducing the light they use in their rooms. Also, why not just buy a plain lampshade and then get some acrylic paints and let your child decorate it themselves?

If you want to have bedding that will compliment your child’s bedroom, but can not afford to buy new bedding sets, why not instead buy some flat sheets (only cost a few dollars and come in a wide range of colors) and can easily be used for duvet covers by being sewn together? But not only can you use them to make duvet covers, but also for simple curtains and pillow cases which will compliment the décor of the room.

Also, why not personalize something for their walls? You could make photographs of them and the family and pets into a collage.

Another great way of making their room, and which will not break the bank, is to create a comfort zone. All you need are some big pillows, or a plush or inflatable chair. But make sure that it is something your child will enjoy sitting on and relaxing in. Also, as they will use this area for reading, then you will need to place some books close by. Do this by putting some small shelves or some plastic boxes on the side in the area and putting their books in them.

So if you love decorating, and want to challenge yourself, then the best way to do this is by doing it on a budget. There is nothing quite like batting against your impulses in order to purchase everything you need so that you stay within your budget.

However, saying that, decorating on a budget can be fun and if you learn to relax and keep away from the more expensive items, you should find it easy to do.

One of the biggest challenges faced by anyone when decorating on a budget is to stay within their budget constraints. So before you start the work, make a plan and stick to that plan, and this will help you with staying on budget.

But should you happen to spend more than you anticipated on one particular item, then you should remove something else from your list. This will then help to get you back on track where your budget is concerned.

For every new parent, they have a vision of what the perfect nursery should look like. But really, is there any need for you to spend $2,000 in order to decorate and furnish a space that, in a couple years, they will have outgrown? In fact, you do not need to spend a fortune of decorating a nursery for that new arrival.

In this chapter, we will look at several different ways in which a nursery can be decorated no matter how small your budget is.

Instead of using wallpaper, paint the nursery instead. Why not choose colors which will co-ordinate with the baby’s toys, rather than going for the traditional colors? Also, why not invite friends and family round and get them to dip their hands into a pot of paint and place their handprints on the wall? They could even sign their names underneath if they want. Doing it this way, your baby will get to enjoy a brightly colored room full of contrasting patterns. This is of especial appeal to young infants. Also, it is an interesting way of introducing them to those people who will be important in their life as they grow up.

You do not have to be artistically inclined, but if you want, why not add some stencil designs to the walls? This is inexpensive, as well as an easy way of adding different elements and features to a baby’s room. However, it is best to choose stencils which will match the theme of the room.

Where the floor is concerned, make sure that you have a stain resistant carpet, or just have hardwood floors with some scatter rugs on it. But if you already have carpet lay and you are worried that it may not stand up well, then why not get an area rug which will cover and protect it?

When you are decorating a nursery, why not consider buying some pieces secondhand or used instead? The advantage to this is that you may find items that are of a higher quality than you would normally purchase. Or it may be you find a vintage piece of furniture, which you can then refinish to match the décor of the nursery.

Why not get an old, beat up chest of drawers, and then paint with a high gloss paint, and then replace the handles on it?

Also, consider buying a piece of furniture that can be used for many different things. Do not spend money on buying a changing table, rather, buy yourself a dresser that is about waist high, and sit a changing mat on top. Then fill the drawers with all your nappy needs. In order to stop the pad from slipping, place a small bath mat with rubber backing face down underneath it. Then, once the child is older, the chest of drawers can be used as it was intended.

Instead of spending large amounts of money on buying storage boxes for your nursery, why not use baskets and shelves instead to store toys and other infant essentials?

There are many decorating ideas around for nursery and which will save you money. Hopefully, the ideas above will help you when making decisions on how to decorate a nursery on a small budget.
