Decorating Ideas Under $100

Great style does not require an over-the-top budget. With a little ingenuity, basic skills, and use of supplies from crafts and home improvement stores, home decorators can achieve custom looks at bargain prices.

Better Homes and Gardens Decorating Ideas Under $100 offers a wealth of information-101 creative projects with complete materials lists and detailed step-by-step instructions. Inspiring photographs illustrate how finished projects fit into room settings.

The first chapter focuses on punching up walls, floors, and other surfaces with paint finishes, wallpaper, stock molding, stenciling, stamping, and decoupage. The second chapter reveals the secrets of dressing up furniture, even garage sale finds, with slipcovers, upholstery, or trim. Freshening up the bed and bath is a breeze with color, unusual headboards, painted linens, and ribbon-trimmed towels.

The second half of Decorating Ideas Under $100 delves into details that make a difference, from one-of-a-kind pillows and lampshades to window treatments that give plain panels a lot of personality. Style also goes outdoors with projects for perking up patios and decks.
