Fight The Recession With Decor

Sept. 6, 2010 - PRLog -- Décor may not be the first strategy you think of when trying to manage the current economic downturn, but it can be an effective one.  Along with other cutbacks, choosing decorative accents for your home offers an opportunity to reduce expenses while still enhancing your living space. How?
Distinctive vintage décor.
Drawing on the beautiful decorative furnishings of the past—particularly Retro, Mid-Century and Modern—allows you to uniquely appoint your home while spending less than you would for new items. Turning to the recent past also offers you a choice of higher quality goods. There is an undeniable charm in a room that is able, with a few decorative accents, to capture the feeling of a recently bygone time that holds many happy memories.
In addition to selecting vintage accessories, adopting the accent approach to decorating your home can save you thousands of dollars. Instead of completely decorating a room to achieve the desired look, the accent approach involves carefully selecting decorative accessories that accent a room with enough visual impact to set a tone.
Utilizing the accent approach with distinctive vintage décor will allow you to beautify your home during these hard times in a way that is uniquely you—and saves you money. The key is downsizing from full scale decorating to the accent approach and carefully selecting distinctive vintage décor.
You can easily locate outstanding decorative accessories from the recent past. Ask your neighbors, attend yard sales or just do an online search for “distinctive vintage décor.” One shop I found through online searching is Tiliks, www.etsy.com/shop/Tiliks.
In addition to saving you money during this recession, surrounding yourself with distinctive vintage décor is fun, exciting and satisfying. Enjoying the beauty of the recent past is also a pleasant reminder that good times will return.
