10 Low or No Cost Steps to Decorating your Living Room

In general, curtains or drapes look best in the color or dominant color of the largest piece of furniture. This helps bring the room together and provide a background for the design. If you can't find drapes the color you want, try making them from sheets. Simply fit a rod through the large pocket at the top and let drape. Or dress up with window treatment with unusual items - like coat hooks and cabinet knobs. Cost: Again, if you shop well, under $20.
