Discover how to decorate a home on a tight budget from an interior designer in this article.

I have never had a large budget for decorating. Decorating does not have to be expensive, and I will give you the tips I use to do decorating on a budget.

#1 - When your budget is small, but your decorating aspirations are big, Look for secondhand treasures on classified sites like Craiglist.

If you have any aesthetic inclination, you could make paintings - they'll always be significantly less pricey than posters are.

#3 - Having a complimentary color scheme can make a huge difference when decorating your home. I've had so fun painting my apartment, and it hasn't been that expensive.

#4 - Accessories are an inexpensive way to show off your decorating taste.

#5 - Decorating a mirror using calligraphy will add another dimension to it and a personal and original touch.

#6 - Rearranging large furniture is more work but can be an effective, cost-free method of redecorating.

#7 - If you have a dining room table that isn't used often, set the table with your favorite bowls, dishes, etc. and leave them out remorselessly.

#8 - Upgrading out-dated furniture can be fun, but it can also be expensive if you don't know how to shop furniture stores. And if you end up with a low-quality piece that falls apart after a short period, you can end up with a big hole in your wallet.

Tip: You can get a coupon for pepperfry furniture from CouponMeta. I saved $10 on my first order. :)

#9 - When decorating a child's room, basic toys they no longer use can be chartered into the decor.

#10 - Hanging ranks, woven boxes or plastic canisters can keep your papers arranged without costing too much.

Now that you have some ideas for reasonable decorating ideas, it's time to get busy. If you have some secret tips, I would love to hear about it. Leave your comment.

Study Says: Don't Sit Up Straight on Your Office Chair

There is more to the perfect office chair than meets the eye. First of all, if the backrest is stiff and straight and is not capable of reclining, then this is not the chair for you. The sign of a good office chair is a chair that will enable your back to adapt its natural form. Did you know that our natural sitting position is not “upright”? We do not naturally sit up straight, so if your chair makes you sit that way, then most likely, you will have back aches due to stress. Remember that you have to sit on these chairs for at least eight hours a day. Comfort and anxiety can genuinely be a big deal.

Medical researchers have confirmed that sitting up straight is indeed not the best position for you. The human spine needs to be in its most relaxed position. Using magnetic resonance imaging or MRI, they have discovered that the ideal office chair is the one that allows an angle of over 125 degrees between the thighs and the torso, to correct the posture and protect the discs in your back. On the other hand, a 90-degree sitting angle was discovered to compress the spine and lead to possible pain and long-term back problems.

Waseem Amir Bashir, from Edinburgh, lead author of the study, said: “When pressure is put on the spine it becomes squashed and misaligned. A 135-degree body-thigh sitting posture was demonstrated to be the best biomechanical sitting position, as opposed to a 90-degree posture, which most people consider normal.- Foxnews

So the next time you sit on your office desk, think again. You might not be relaxed mentally, but you do not have to stress your physical comfort too. If you feel uncomfortable, go ahead and tell the HR,  after all, they should know that productivity relies on the comfort of the worker.
