Seven ideas to decorate your home without spending any money

DECORATE WITH NATURE

Take a walk around any residential area in Singapore and you’ll find lots of twigs, leaves and occasionally even flowers lying around. These can make for cute and creative home decor. You can tie up some twigs with a piece of string and keep them in a vase. Alternatively, press leaves and flowers in a frame for a DIY nature display. Keeping your natural findings in a mason jar is an even simpler and particularly fuss-free solution.

REARRANGE YOUR FURNITURE

If you’re getting bored of your home, the easiest and most affordable way of changing things up is to start with what you have. Take your furniture items for a spin around the house and see if you can achieve a nicer set-up. The living and dining rooms are the easiest to rearrange, as they tend to have fewer built-ins than the bedroom and kitchen.
