Decorating doesn't have to be expensive, and it can serve more than one purpose. This section will help you come up with some fun, easy, inexpensive ideas for your new home.

  • Consider painting rooms a different color, or stenciling around an archway.
  • Brighten up a room with self-adhesive wallpaper borders.
  • Refinish old cabinets or add new knobs.
  • Hang pictures properly by measuring right the first time.
  • Add potted plants for extra color or to fill empty corners.
