With the housing market booming right now, you may be a new homeowner tempted to buy all new decor. Or maybe you have lived in your home for awhile and are just wanting a change. Both are very tempting and valid reasons to go out and buy all the fall finds you see. However, we recommend focusing your time and money on staple pieces and finding a few stand-out holiday items to spruce up your home. Here are a few more tricks we recommend to keep this seemingly expensive time of year as budget-friendly as possible!

Thrift

Thrifting is a great way to find anything from upscale pieces that someone didn’t want, to fixer-uppers. No matter what you find, it is bound to be less expensive than buying it new. Not only is thrifting great for finding specific seasonal pieces, but also to find year-round decor! Pro tip: make sure to be checking the thrift store year-round for seasonal decor. 

Did you know you can also thrift online? The website AptDeco has a ton of used home decor finds. You can even upload your own items to be sold!

Step Outside

Using nature as inspiration is great for livening up your home and even better for your wallet. From pinecones, to sticks, to wildflowers, you can seasonally decorate your house without paying a dime.

DIY

DIY projects are not only a great way to save money, but they also add a unique and personal touch to your home. With access to YouTube, Pinterest, and Instagram, there are endless DIY projects you can get started on. We love this Toilet Paper Roll Pumpkins DIY Project from Made to be a Momma.
