When decorating your home on a budget, it’s important to consider lighting and hardware to improve the overall look of your home.
HIGHLIGHT ART PIECES
One easy trick is to use clever lighting techniques to enhance the art in your living space.
Wall art is an amazing way to improve any room and it doesn’t have to be expensive to look nice.
But how you display the art is just as important as the piece itself and lighting can make the piece the focal point in the room.
There are multiple ways to achieve this whether subtlety is your style or you like a more impactful design.
“My favorite way to light art is by using LED picture lights, which are clever enough to contain the light purely on the canvas, rather than lighting the wall around it,” said Guy Goodfellow, founder of Guy Goodfellow Design.
“Instead of having brassy picture lights, which we’ve seen enough of, a great trick is to paint the picture light in the same color as the wall. You don’t visually register them and only when they’re on in the evenings do you see them.”
SWITCH OUT LAMPS
Getting rid of your old or plain lamp shades is another easy way to liven up your space without shelling out cash for new light fixtures.

“I love to add color and pattern using lamp shades – the bigger and more vibrant the better, as they make the room look much grander,” said designer Penny Morrison.
“Create statements out of your lamps and shades to express effortless sophistication,” she said.
“They exude charm, elevating elegance and add personality to any room.”
