True Decorators and Designers are very resourceful people. Creativity rises from resourcefulness, the ability to create something from nothing - or even better, something from trash - often born of necessity or a sheer love of creating.
Decorating on a budget is relative to what your particular budget is, how well you can coordinate furniture, art and accessories, and your shopping savvy. OR perhaps the word ‘budget’ simply is a figure speech meaning ‘Decorating on the Cheap’ and that means something different to each of us!
