If you don't have any furniture, scour the charity shops, house clearance places and,car boot sales.
The world is your oyster in terms of design. To get the best price you can, try to copy a style that is popular in the interior design magazines
And if you're not crafty and need instruction, try these websites:

Bear in mind why you are doing this and don't go overboard on materials to upcycle the furniture or you'll eat into your budget.
Then either sell your creations on a specialist website like Etsy, on Ebay or, and this is where you might get the best prices, at a local fair or market.
Don't forget to add your profits to your savings pot!!
