왜 어울리는가
Budget decorating works because the most impactful design changes are often the cheapest. Paint is the single highest-impact, lowest-cost change in any room. Rearranging existing furniture costs nothing but creates a fresh perspective. Thrift stores and online marketplaces offer quality furniture at a fraction of retail. The 80/20 rule applies: 80% of a room visual impact comes from 20% of its elements — paint, one anchor furniture piece, lighting, and textiles.

자주 묻는 질문
What is the most impactful change for the least money?
Paint. A fresh coat of paint on walls or furniture transforms a room for $30-$80. After paint, new throw pillows ($20-$50 total) and rearranging furniture (free) have the next highest impact-per-dollar ratio.
Where should I splurge vs. save in home decor?
Splurge on items you use daily and that affect comfort: sofa, mattress, desk chair, and quality bedding. Save on decorative items, side tables, wall art, and accessories — these can be sourced affordably without sacrificing style.
Is thrift store furniture worth it?
Absolutely. Solid wood furniture from thrift stores and estate sales is often higher quality than new mass-market pieces. A coat of paint or new hardware can modernize any thrifted piece for a few dollars.
