Decor Ideas from HGTV

Looking for design ideas on a budget? Whether you just moved into a new home or are looking to redecorate your current home, HGTV has uncovered the tricks-of-the-trade for you!

Here are some tips to help you enhance your space.

  • Bedding – Look for one-day sales throughout the year at stores like Bed Bath & Beyond and Macy's. You'll find top-notch styles to fit your budget.
  • Hardware – HGTV's Vern Yip recommends doorknobdiscountcenter.com for high quality doorknobs at affordable prices. Another idea is to venture to a local flee market for some unique accents.
  • Lamps & Home Accessories –Already have an antique lamp? Modernize it by adding a simple white shade or spray painting the base. If you are looking to purchase a new lamp, visit lampsplus.com to score a deal and save with free shipping. Laurel Home Furnishings has a great selection of lamps with a coastal flair and Ellas of Richmond Hill has unique home accessories that would be perfect in any low country home.
  • Trees – The best time to buy trees is from late August through December when the nurseries are clearing stock for the winter - you'll be able to save 30 – 40% of plantings like white pines and privets. Tim and Dave's Nursery is a great local spot for picking up some greenery for your home!
  • Major Appliances – Did you know that manufacturers bring out new appliances in June? This means the best time to shop is in May when the retailers slash prices on last year's models.
