Feeling the itch to give your home a few decor updates? If you’re craving a fresh feel, there are plenty of decor tips that are simple and effective in building on your aesthetic or taking the space in a new direction. These decorating tips can be used in all areas of your home and reimagined whenever you need a refresh.

1. Elevate Your Entryway

Your entryway is your home's first impression, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to create a welcoming environment. A well-rounded entryway has furniture like a console table or an accent cabinet for organization and a large mirror for that last-minute out-the-door final touch-up. Aside from those foundational pieces, add some accent decor like faux plants, a vase, candles, or even a decorative bowl to add color and texture to the hallway. We love the styled details on the lower shelf and how the wood accent pieces add a bold contrast to the black console table and mirror.

2. Mix Styles to Create a Transitional Space

One of the best decor tips is to step out of your style comfort zone and experiment with transitional spaces. Introduce versatile decor to your living room with patterned throw pillows for your sofa, a rug with an intricate pattern, or a statement-making faux plant. Transitional decor doesn’t lean too far into any specific aesthetic – it brings multiple styles together and allows you to play with shapes, textures, and materials to create your own customized space.

3. Bring In Nature

Faux plants are an easy home decor addition, and they breathe life and color into any interior space. Adding plants is one of our favorite home decor tips because of the impact they make and the endless options you have. For coffee, dining, and end tables, we recommend a smaller potted plant or a spring of branches in a vase that matches your aesthetic. For larger spaces like a living room, be bold and add in a medium or large plant – like a low-maintenance faux tree or tall grass – to help anchor the furniture like a sofa and coffee tables in a larger room.

4. Swap Out Throw Pillows & Blankets

Decorating tips that involve changing out small accent pieces for seasonality are worth implementing: They allow you to make low-lift updates by swapping out your patterns and color palette every few months. Alternating throw pillows and blankets in your living room is the easiest way to make an impact on your interior design. Focus on incorporating warmer colors and patterns during the summer and fall and switch to cooler tones and designs during winter and spring. You can also switch out your throws based on temperature and material: cloth, linen, jute, or cotton for hotter seasons and wool, polyester, or velvet for the colder seasons.

5. Add in Accent Wallpaper

Change a space’s entire personality with the addition of a wallpaper accent wall. You can use the wallpaper to determine coloring for the rest of your pieces or vice versa. Since you’re featuring just one wall, make sure it counts – choose a wall that highlights the room well (either behind a bench, sofa, or bed) so that it doesn’t go unseen. Have fun with bold colors and prints to create visual interest and ensure that your wallpaper selection does not go unnoticed.

6. Make a Statement With Your Art

Trying to find decor tips on working with open walls? Embrace the art of the statement piece. Find a pattern or print that speaks to you and opt for the largest size, so it serves as the focal point of the room and as a guide for future decor. Alternatively, create a large gallery wall to feature all your favorite artists or family photos. Choose frames in similar tones to keep the decor unified. Bonus: Use this same decor tip but with mirrors. Mirrors offer more natural light to your space and make the room feel larger and more open.

7. Change Bedding With the Seasons

Seasonal bedding decor tips are another great way to refresh a space without requiring an entire revamp. We love how this bright yellow bedding accented with an orange patterned throw pillow and hunter green throw adds warmth, light, and an overall brighter energy to this neutral bedroom and furniture. Your bedding choice can completely change the mood of your space, so why not have a few choices at the ready?

8. Try Out Tiling

If you've got a free Saturday afternoon, take your decorating to the next level with a DIY tiling project. Tiling works best in bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces and adds a smooth texture, crisp color, and high-quality finish to any space. Add tiling to one feature wall or half of a wall to update the texture or design of a space. Putting in the effort to tile a small area or backsplash will elevate your space with color, design, and a luxe ceramic feel.
