Here are some tips for decorating a home office on a budget: 1. Use what you already have. If you have a desk, chairs, and bookshelves, use them! You don't need to buy new stuff if you don't want to—and it's perfectly fine to make do with what you have. 2. Buy used furniture and decor items. Craigslist is great for this! Just check out your local area's listings before heading out to the stores or buying online. There are tons of people who are downsizing and cleaning out their closets—you might just find some amazing deals! 3. Shop around before buying anything new! Stores like Ikea and Walmart often have great prices on office supplies and decorations. And if you're looking for something specific (like a certain type of lamp), Amazon will probably have it at an even better price than most brick-and-mortar stores.
