Frugal Interior Design - Achieving Smart Style
. . . focusing on natural, organic and eco alternatives for home styling
Interior design does not have to fit a predetermined style or meet stringent guidelines. It can be creative and creativity is limitless. You can pull from specific design styles for inspiration or follow one exactly. The design that will bring you the most pleasure will be one that infuses a bit of your personality.
If you follow some basic design principles and refer to my free interior design ideas, tips and photos, you too can create a professional look.
Design Smartly. Just as design styles vary, so do the costs associated with achieving them. A high price tag does not necessarily equate to better design. I've renovated, designed and decorated the interiors of many properties and have discovered a few tips, tricks and ideas for transforming them while maintaining a strict budget.
Consider eco-friendly options which help you save in the long run.
It's a goal of mine to continually develop innovative ideas to achieve a well designed room while saving money. My personal design mantra is "Restore, Reuse, Reinvent". You will see this referenced again throughout the site and will learn how you too can benefit from it while creating a personal, custom look. It is my hope that you will draw inspiration from some of my design ideas and decorating styles and learn the ways of Frugal Interior Design.
I've been asked that many times by visitors of my homes. Since I utilize and meld elements from different styles I would often tell them it was "Contemporary-Classic." Yes, two opposing styles which again backs my notion that not all interior design is created equal. My melding of styles quickly evolved to include a very organic feel. That organic feel is the result of "restore, reuse, reinvent." By harmoniously mixing new with old and utilizing natural elements in my design, I'm able to create a cohesive, warm and inviting look. So, What's YOUR Style?
