How to decorate a backroom using budget-friendly materials
While speaking to Briefly News architect and interior designer Erwan Kabwita shared the following tips on how one could decorate their backroom using budget-friendly materials.
- Turn cutting boards into kitchen art
If you have extra cutting boards, use them as inexpensive art to place on the walls of your kitchen.
"The sleek marble and chrome finishes in this stylish kitchen are balanced by the walnut cutting boards, which add some organic texture to the room," he said.
- Use vintage pennants
Look for old pennants at garage sales and local flea markets rather than purchasing brand-new artwork.
"Look for flags that represent your hometown, alma mater, or some of your bucket list places if you're unsure where to begin," he added.
- Embrace an accent wall
"Your bedroom may look fantastic with wallpaper. Make an accent wall with just one roll to save money."
- Snag a graphic throw blanket
A graphic throw blanket is a better option if you are unable to afford a new set of patterned bedding the interior designer suggested.
