Interior decorating can be expensive, especially if you choose to bring in a professional interior designer. But there are also plenty of easy, inexpensive interior decorating ideas that you can do all by yourself without a huge budget. Here are just eight ideas you can try.
Hang large mirrors on closet doors
Have sliding closet doors? Instead of just a plain closet door, hang a large mirror on it. Since mirrors reflect light, they can brighten up the space and also create the visual effect of more space then there really is. You’re not doing anything else with that space so turn it into one giant mirror.
Creative storage solutions for your bathroom
There’s never enough drawer and cabinet space in the bathroom so you may need to get creative to have places to put everything. The internet has a million ideas for DIY jar organizers that you can make and hang on your bathroom wall to free up some of that much needed storage space for other items.
Colorful curtains
Who said that curtains have to be a boring, neutral color? It’s true that you want to have a neutral color for a room’s foundation but the curtains are a great place to experiment with bolder, brighter colors since it’s not a big hassle to swap them out if you grow tired of them. Hanging new curtains is something any homeowner can do themselves in just a few minutes.
Unusual curtain rods
While you’re changing the curtains, you might as well swap out the curtain rods as well. Think outside the box. A quirky, unusual curtain rod displays your style and livens up the space.
Frame your television
Televisions are often the focal point of communal spaces such as the family room or multipurpose room. But when the TV is shut off, it can be an eye sore in an otherwise attractive space. A creative solution to this problem is to build or buy a frame that fits around the plastic frame of the TV. It will blend in more with the framed artwork and photographs that are hanging on that wall.
DIY canopy bed
Who didn’t grow up dreaming of what day having a canopy bed? They don’t have to be expensive or even store bought. You can transform a normal bed into a canopy bed quite easily by hanging curtain rods from the ceiling around your bed.
Paint the ceiling
The ceiling is the most overlooked part of any home’s interior since it’s up above and you don’t pay much attention to it. But people will notice it if you give it a coat of paint, especially if you go with a color that’s darker than the walls.
Install baseboard radiator covers
Have an older home that uses a baseboard heating system? You can transform a dated look to a more modern one in a matter of minutes by purchasing and installing baseboard radiator covers that simply snap into place.

EZ Snap™ Wall Widgets are used when your old or existing wall back plate has been removed or if you have to hang your new cover 1 inch or higher to bring them up to a height that will fit our installation guidelines. Just measure your overall desired height, subtract 1", drill a hole, preferably in a stud and attach it to the wall with the included screw.
EZ Snap™ Floor Fidgets easily raise your new covers ¾ inch to compensate for any ¾ inch floor (wood, tile, or other) that has been installed any time since your baseboard heater was originally installed. May be used for any reason when the overall height has been shortened and the total height is less than 7-½ inches for standard height or 9-½ inches for the TALL height EZ Snap™ BaseBoard Covers. Just use the self-tapping screws to secure them to the top of your existing wallplate.
EZ Snap™ Wall Contraptions are used when your wall back plate has been completely removed. EZ Snap™ Wall Contraptions receives your EZ Snap™ BaseBoard Cover and keeps your aluminum fin tube from sagging. These completely replace your wall back plate. To install, slide up from the bottom and make sure the top is at your desired height. Screw to the wall, then bend the front finger up to hold the fin tube in place.

We recommend that you order covers a little longer than normal and cut them on site, as there are many opportunities for mistakes in measuring and installation. By cutting on site you can fit and cut to fit. The covers can be cut with a good quality jigsaw and a fine metal cutting blade.
Now that you’ve learned how to measure baseboard heaters,
you’re ready to order.
