If you’re anything like me, you want a beautifully styled, fully furnished home, but you don’t want to break the bank.
You’ve probably been wondering how you can decorate your house on a budget, or maybe you have a new home or new apartment that you need to furnish from scratch with all the essentials.
Trust me, I’ve done the Target run after moving into my first apartment and walked out with a HUGE receipt. I went into the store not really knowing how much I would end up spending just on kitchen essentials alone.
I get home and realize I spent too much and even got things I didn’t really need.
I’ve found that once you’re in the store, it’s really difficult to keep track of everything in your cart and try to budget it out at the moment, especially when the store is busy. I end up feeling flustered and rushing to get what I need and go (who knows, maybe that’s just my introverted personality).
Whatever the case may be, I know one thing for certain – if I had planned ahead, set a budget for each room in my apartment, and brainstormed the main expenses for every room, I would have saved SO much money.
The same can be said for when my husband and I moved into our first home. I suddenly had a much larger space to furnish and decorate, and the task felt daunting. I WISH I had a home budget planner to organize the things I needed and prioritize my spending.
Budget Tracker for Home Decor
I created this easy-to-use home decorating budget spreadsheet so that you can avoid overspending like me and easily organize your home decor expenses.
It is a Google Sheets budget template that you can use for decorating or furnishing your home or apartment.
In a nutshell, you can track your budget and expenses for 12 rooms, 50 expenses per room, and the template will automatically calculate how much you have left to spend or if you’ve gone over budget.
Built-in charts help you visualize where your money is allocated and it’s color-coded so you can quickly see when you’re over or under budget.
A “TOTALS” tab summarizes your budget for the entire project and shows how much you’re budgeting/spending for each room.
Reduce the stress and anxiety associated with managing finances and get the budget planner that I wish I had!
