So, to help you find individual budget friendly décor projects, here are 3 interior design projects you can undertake for less than £100!

So just by visiting an online blinds company, rather than a local retailer, you can get the perfect blind for less than £100.
Colour Pop Your Wooden Edges
For those who don’t know what ‘colour pop’ is, it’s simply the design philosophy of using bright colours as a highlight against neutral backing, which will make the colour ‘pop’ and be more noticeable. Colour Pop is often used on kitchen cabinet doors to add colour to a kitchen. But rather than just focus on the kitchen, you can use colour pop around the entirety of your home by colour popping wooden edges in your home, so the edge of shelves, the edge of doors, etc.
This allows you to add a lot of colour around your home and again, this should be able to fit in any colour scheme. You can do this project for cheap by using test-paint-rollers rather than buying a whole tin of paint, simply find a few brightly colour test-rollers and use them on wooden edges around your home, as you’ll only be painting a small surface area, a few testers should be more than enough.
Print & Frame Your Own Posters
Posters have long been used for interior décor, much light pieces of art, they’re a great way to add a focal point to a room, use more colour in a room or simply to just set a theme for a room. But as demand has increased for high quality posters, the price of them has risen quite dramatically as they’re treated more like art rather than a simple design element.
Although you can circumvent the expensive cost of posters, by getting custom printed posters. There is a long list of companies that make custom posters online, most of them actually work out cheaper than buying posters. So by finding designs that you like and getting them printed online will work out a lot cheaper, if you want to go the extra mile, you can also buy frames for your posters to make them look more professional.
