Home decorating is a popular idea these days as seen in the rise of cable television channels like TLC and HGTV (Home & Garden Television) and TV shows like "Trading Spaces, Take This House and Sell It, Design on a Dime, Decorating Cents," and many others. Throughout history, humans have always expressed the desire to personalize and beautify their homes. Decorating is about beautifying a home, not about designing its structural elements (that belongs in the interior design category). Decorating involves such activities as painting a room or refurbishing old furniture and adding accessories such as wall art, window treatments like curtains or blinds, slipcovers, pillows, and cushions for sofas and armchairs, and more. In today's economy--with rising gas prices, inflation, and a volatile stock market--it is even more important to find creative yet affordable ways to beautify one's surroundings. This article presents a list of resources and web sites that offer budget decorating tips to beautify one's home.
