Pillows

Want to really change things up but don't have the budget for an entire redesign?  Try changing the pillows or adding pillows if you don't alread have some.  They don't have to cost a lot and better yet, try to make them yourself?

To save money, I have purchased clearance pillows at discount stores then re-covered them in my own fabric.  They are often less expensive than buying pillow forms. 

There are so many fun embellishments you can add to a simple pillow to really dress it up.  In many cases, you can even use fabric glue to secure your design rather than sewing. Here are some ideas below. 

Ric Rac is wildly popular right now and can be found in lots of colors and sizes

Felt is a great idea.  Recycled sweaters can also make a great sweater and is very inexpensive

Applique and bright colors

What room doesn't deserve a little ruffles and flowers
Pillows are a simple change and a great way to experiment with different colors and patterns with little investment if you decide it wasn't exactly what you were looking for.
