Art offers a strong stylized presence. Stay away from the galleries for now and check out local auctions in your area, those from private sales having little traffic. Poster stores for some of the lesser known works, and museum stores running specials. Art will form special spots of interest on your walls. But the effect will need balancing. Nevertheless, the right $30 poster and discount frame brings color, motion, depth, and some form of story to your decorating picture.

Blinds/Window Treatments are a way of controlling the light emitting to the room while further defining with accents of style. Many big box stores carry these like Home Depot and Lowes and if you're window dimensions are standard sizes you'll receive a price break. Stay away from the extra cheap ones though. They end up getting replaced more often

Check the mismatch bin at the paint store for a 90% markdowns, as long as it fits in with your decor and you have enough paint to finish. Really introduce a new limb of style and enhance your theme with a uniform pattern of your choosing. This too you can do yourself with the help of a hopper and compressor from your local rental yard. An avergage size room could be done for less that $50 to $60.

Before painting or texturing patch the walls and do repairs.
