Changing the decor of a room in your home doesn’t have to cost a fortune. BandagedEar.com has put together tips to spruce up a room without breaking the bank.

1. Paint the Room
Painting the walls with a new color is one of the easiest ways to create a new look. Choose a vibrant color for a dramatic difference or paint the walls with white for fresh appearance.

2. Recover Pillows
Instead of recovering or purchasing a couch or a comforter, recover your throw pillows. New throw pillows can add a pop of color to a room, so choose a color or interesting pattern that accents other items. Sew your own pillow covers to save even more money.

3. Add an Area Rug
Cover old carpet, tile or wood floors with an area rug of your choice. This cost-effective tip adds new zest to your room without replacing the flooring.

4. Replace Lampshades
Purchasing a new lamp may cost you a pretty penny, so  replace existing lampshades to add a little pizzazz to a drab room. Lampshades come in a variety of colors, patterns and styles to align with your decorating needs.

5. Give Old Furniture a Makeover
Repair any broken hinges or knobs on old furniture with new, shiny hardware. Stain or add a fresh coat of paint to any piece of furniture to give it new vitality.
