Fabulous spaces that are practical seem out of reach but the effort can be minimal. By adding items that match in color or are part of a theme is a good place to start and choosing pieces that serve a purpose can be beneficial to everyday living. Adding a faux fur throw is one way a person can save energy usage and money.

The cover ups used today are made from a variety of fabrics that not only look good but can also be functional. Best of all, many of these blankets and throws are affordable. One way to complete a room theme is to add matching pillows ow window dressings in a similar color.

Fur alternatives of today have changed for the better while remaining environmentally friendly. The new ones have a silky look and are buttery soft to the touch. Even better, maintenance is minimal and many types just need to be machine washed every so often. However, using a professional cleaner will guarantee a longer life.

The variety of colors available now make these stand apart from the traditional earth or dark tones. There are many hues and combinations from which to choose, as well as unique pattern choices. So anyone who wants to have something different may want to go with something vibrant to contrast the plain colors in a space.

Using a thick blanket or throw in the cooler months can save energy since there is no electricity needed to stay warm. Natural body heat can remain insulated during rest so there are no surprises by having too much or little heat. Besides saving money, these also save money since there is no electrical control that will go out after extensive use.

An ideal companion would be an alternative fur area rug. This is ideal for indoors where there is little foot traffic. Not only does it look nice in bedrooms or living spaces but care is easy as well.

Candles not only look great in a room but can save money and energy. On the market are all types, including those without a flame and scents made to last for several uses. These can also help to warm up a space, instead of using a heater, which can get expensive.

Keeping spaces clutter free with organizers are an efficient way to decorate. Often ideas can be merged so that pieces are not only functional but can be used as an accessory. All it takes is a little creativity and willingness to use space wisely.

For instance, old boxes with or without lids can be painted or covered with gift wrap made to match any room interior. If needed, handles can be made from old wire hangers or cut with a crafting knife. Once these are ready for use, they can be stacked along walls or placed underneath hard furnishings. These can be wonderful space savers and cut to accommodate almost any item worth storing.

Adding nice touches to a room does not have to be all show. Some items can serve a purpose that can save the frugal shopper. Sometimes, it can be fun to transform spaces to see how pieces will look and the functionality in everyday life.
