Cheap Decorating Ideas Turning the Spare Bedroom Into an Old Tuscan Villa on a Limited Budget

Interior decorating ideas begin by deciding on a theme this will establishes guidelines to which a basic design is allowed to develop as a style. Every journey has a destination, a point of arrival, to go somewhere without the correct directions will end up, with you lost, in the state of total confusion. Let's decide on the theme, the look of Tuscany remains a very popular style, and is a beautiful vacation setting, so, go pack your bags!

The trip to a Tuscan Villa transformation starts by clearing the room of all previous furnishings. Prep the walls first, now paint three of the four walls, and ceiling a rich cream, the wall the bed anchors on apply a Tuscan terracotta paint color. Next add glaze, and rich cream paint into a container, half and half of each,and stir.

This will create the vintage look of Tuscany. Using a roller apply glaze on the terracotta wall in small sections, use a rayon cloth wiping off, after you add the glaze similar to a bread kneading motion. You can achieve random runny affects by lightly spritzing with a spray bottle of water, and use a cloth to control the dripping.

Who doesn't have some of Mom's or Aunt Tillie's treasures lying around the house just collecting dust. Furniture items like comfortable reading chair, dressers, armories, desks, trunks, hat boxes, or old birdcages.

The condition can be old, battered, and distressed is even better. Here's several suggestions for headboards, old doors, aged shutters, wrought iron pieces , or how about a collection of odd size frames, with added tapestry fabric inserts.

Aged lace curtains as a bed skirt, new works as well, a good soak in cold coffee for a few minutes, and presto an instant antique. A Damask coverlet, with five to seven textured pillows, and lots of fringe.

On the floor, place three various sized tapestry rugs going in different directions, and a larger rug partially the under the bed for a grounding technique. Add warmth, with a collection of old photographs in vintage frames on, a round skirted table, and a tapestry wall hanging, or an area rug are perfect for the wall.

The final touch, a window treatment, without hardware! Purchase six window scarves at an outlet or import shop, tie a medium knot at one end, hang them with drawer pulls, small nails, or cup hooks. Attach three panels on the left, and three panels on the right of the window, let them crush on the floor, and now send out the invitations, you're ready for guest.

Transformation complete, Chow!
