15 Super Cheap, Big Statement Decor Items

Our budget for home decor is so minuscule it’s basically non-existent. While I definitely believe in the value of making a house a home through color, texture, and decor, I also believe this can be achieved without spending much money. In order to do this, I have to put some sweat equity into it and I’m also not going to be able to have high end, ultra modern pieces (so glad rustic, vintage, and shabby chic are “in” right now!), but I’m totally ok with that. I love looking around our home and having a good story about each of the pieces.

To better emphasize my point, I put together a round up of all the super cheap, big statement decor items in our house that cost little to no money for us.

*Bonus! Window Picture Frame

This is a bonus because I haven’t written a post on it yet. These old windows have made perfect picture frames for us ever since we were first married. I have rotated the pictures out as our family grows and changes and every time I step back and think how beautiful it is.
