DAVID TSAY

Nothing beats redecorating a room and feeling like you've walked into a brand-new house. For a fresh look that's easy on your wallet, we've rounded up some clever ideas for decorating on a budget that don't skimp on style. Whether you're looking for DIY projects to spruce up your living room or tips for kitchen remodel ideas that won't break the bank, this list has it all. Many of these projects are ones that people of any skill level can tackle, from decorating with items you already have (such as creative ways to arrange your glassware) to painting thrifted chairs or tables (if you've never done it before, check out how to paint furniture first).

Before you head out to buy something new, see if there's something on this list that inspires you. Maybe you'll decide to DIY your own wallpaper (hint, use paint!) or turn an old ladder into a makeshift shelving unit. If you're still itching for something new, there are tips for finding cheaper options, such as opting for removable wallpaper or buying a bistro table instead of a full kitchen table. So before you start your renovations, take a look at these ingenious tricks for decorating on a budget.

Make It Roll

Casters are the ultimate quick-change agents. These babies impart height and mobility to almost anything. Attach 'em to a farm table and voilĂ : It becomes an extra-large kitchen island with serious moves. Pop some wheels on a crate and you've got storage that rolls easily underneath a counter. The possibilities are truly endless. —Paige Schnell, Tracery Interiors

Make a Chair Rail

Amp up the architectural drama! Installing a chair rail can be a cinch — especially with stick-on molding. Paint the areas above and below it with two different shades of the same color for even more va-va-voom. —Leah Shirey, houseobsession.com

Update Your Mat

Try this snazzy solution for ho-hum sisal: Stencils offer a foolproof way to bring pattern to a plain rug. Be sure to work with an oil-based paint, then protect it with a clear sealant. Or if you prefer a distressed finish, skip the sealant and lightly sand the painted surface. —Alexa Hampton, Mark Hampton LLC
