FAQ About Home Decoration

The amount you should budget for home decoration can vary widely depending on a number of factors, including the size of your home, the scope of the project, the quality of materials and furnishings you choose, and the level of professional help you require.

As a general rule of thumb, many interior designers recommend setting aside between 5% and 15% of your home's value for decorating and furnishings. For example, if your home is worth $500,000, you might budget between $25,000 and $75,000 for decorating.

However, if you're working with a tight budget, there are many ways to decorate your home without breaking the bank. Consider shopping for vintage or secondhand furnishings, doing some DIY projects, or focusing on one or two rooms at a time rather than trying to decorate your entire home all at once.
