We often get mails from readers to do posts on inexpensive décor ideas. You don’t have to dig deep into your pockets to change your décor. Give your old cushion covers a makeover by painting or embellishing them with beads or buttons. Stick handmade flowers on plain photo-frames and give them a new life.
