Decorate Your Room on a Budget
If you aren’t yet convinced you’re an artist, you can still create lovely art at very little cost to decorate a dreary room. All you need is:
• A favorite calendar
• Some old frames (think thrift store)
• A book of art prints (think used or discount book store)
Maybe you want to start by painting your room in a luscious color. Be brave! Pick out a color that makes you feel happy, and one you can enhance by the lovely art about to grace its walls.
You can even paint the frames if you like. If you’re using a calendar with art prints, for instance, you might want all the frames to match. Black is a good choice. Use a shiny latex paint to create a finished look.
Put that artwork and those frames together and have fun placing them around the room! Hint: put your artwork at eye level and slightly below eye level, not high on the walls.
