You’re moving away from home and into your very own apartment. It needs to reflect you and your taste—so where do you begin? This video covers the basics of furnishing and decorating on a limited budget. Viewers learn about elements and principles of design as well as how personal style and accessories can affect the look. We take you to flea markets, secondhand stores, and thrift shops to find just the right piece of furniture and talk about floor and wall coverings. We also differentiate between essential furnishings and non-essential items. Furnishing a room or an apartment on a budget is certainly possible—especially if you’re willing to stretch your imagination! (15 min.) A Meridian Production.
