Start visiting craft fairs. There is a lot of inspiration to be found at craft fairs and by getting to know the artists in your area. Even if most of what you see at the craft fair looks incredibly expensive, if you keep looking around you are bound to find at least a few things that won't cost too much money. Believe it or not, one of the best parts of local craft fairs is seeing the same artists at most of them. There is a chance that the artists you get to know will remember who you are, what you like and might even given you a bargain for some of your purchases.

Get used to surfing the internet. The internet is full of independent artists, photographers and creators who are trying to sell their work. Etsy is a very popular website for artists who want to sell their work and for people who are trying to decorate their homes inexepensively. Many artists upload their work for free to community sites like Flickr where you can look through their portfolios for free. Many home decorators find great stuff through artists' personal websites. Ebay and Amazon are no longer king for people looking for art online-lots of artists create websites that they use to sell their art.

What about all of those knick knacks and decorative items people have given to you over the years? You probably have at least a handful of decorative pieces hidden away that only see daylight when whoever gave them to you decides to pay you a visit. Is it possible to use them for decoration full time? Even if they don't gel perfectly with your decorating scheme you can use them while you work to put together things of your own. Another good reason to do this is that you won't be caught unaware and feeling foolish if the person who gave you your decorative items shows up for an unexpected visit.

Expensive art is not automatically better than something that you can make with your own hands. Do some thinking before you start to decorate. Rushing to get your house "all the way" decorated is only good for messing up your budget.
