I love fabric! I enjoy mixing and matching patterns, colors, stripes, and polka dots. Pictured here are some of the color palettes I'm currently working with. With a limited budget, a person can easily transform a room for little money. Pillows are very expensive and will run anywhere from $20 to $50 depending on the fabric or size of pillow. A lot of the fabric stores around me offer coupons every Sunday in the paper. Certain discounts offer 40 to 50% off any fabric. You definetly get more bang for your buck by using the same pillows over and over and recovering them season to season. I am lucky to have a sewing machine but there are plenty of methods that require a "no sew" approach. I would recommend asking any friends or family members to help with the sewing to achieve the best results. Valances, table runners, napkins, placemats and pillows are very easy to make and can change the look of a room instantly. Sometimes the creativity of mixing and matching fabric patterns opens new doors for people who are afraid of color or live in an apartment and cannot repaint a room. Fabric also creates new possibilities for accessories, wall colors, or unifying two rooms that have little in common. The open floor concept in so many homes are sometimes too large and overwhelming, introducing color and pattern from fabric is a great way to help soften big spaces while maintaining its cohesiveness.
