55 Chic Home Decorating Ideas

1

Find Another Spot for Flowers

Alison Gootee

If you constantly keep a vase of flowers in your kitchen or living room, extend that love for fresh blooms throughout the house. It's the perfect excuse to invest in a new vase for your bedroom or bathroom. In this New York apartment designed by Katie Ridder, a globe-shaped vase adds a nice bubble detail. Or if the upkeep for real flowers is too much, go for faux alternatives.

2

Swap Out Art

Shade Degges

Whether you have a few tiny frames—like in this bedroom designed by Jae Joo—or medium-sized ones on a gallery wall, you can easily swap them out with fresh finds. Tear our pages from a coffee table book, or stop by a flea market for new works.

3

Add a Mirror

Robert Peterson / Rustic White Interiors

Place a large mirror above your mantel as HGTV star Alison Victoria did in her Atlanta loft, or dedicate another empty wall space—whether it's in your hallway, entryway, or bedroom. Not only will it look good, but it'll make the room feel bigger and brighter.

4

Refresh Coffee Table Books

Paul Costello

If you can't resist a good coffee table book, bring a new one into your collection. Or if you keep them in various parts of your home, simply rearrange your stacks for a new look. Here, in a living room designed by Barrie Benson, the four stacks could easily be given a new layout and order using only the books on the table.

5

Attach Decor to a Shelving Unit

Genevieve Garruppo

Don't have any more room on your walls for art? No problem. Hang anything from paintings and sconces to plants and bookmarks on a shelving unit. Here's a tutorial for how to hang art on bookshelves to guide you through the process—which includes tips from designer Marissa Bero, who has pulled this move in plenty of home libraries, including the one seen here.

6

Set Up a Cozy Reading Spot

Heidi Caillier Design

No designated reading nook? No problem. If your home doesn't have any leftover real estate to convert into a reading nook, design your formal living room to serve double duty as a cozy lounge area. Here, Heidi Caillier strategically chose furniture with fabrics and shapes that are both sophisticated and homey, perfect for entertaining or unwinding alone.

7

Don't Be Afraid of Black Paint

Farrow & Ball

The soft black paint color in this bedroom makes it feel special and intimate in ways you'd never be able to achieve with a lighter hue (this specific shade is Farrow & Ball Railings). The eclectic furniture lends itself nicely to the darkness, too, adding a more lived-in and homey vibe.

8

Style an Empty Fireplace

Reid Rolls

Rethink how you style an empty fireplace. In this texture-rich environment, interior designer Leanne Ford turned an empty fireplace into a little gallery to display pottery and artwork.

9

Treat Your Windows

Victoria Pearson

Adding the right window treatment can make all the difference. We're especially into Roman shades with a fun pattern. "It goes against decorating 101, but using small patterns together can be easier on the eye," says interior decorator Kristin Panitch, who designed this dreamy pink cloud of a bedroom.

10

Re-Style a Bookshelf

Fiona Lynch

From the inky stained wood to the modern side chair and clean-lined ladder, this home library designed by Fiona Lynch is a gorgeous contemporary take on traditional design. You could fill it with books—or you could add in decor accents and accessories like vases and sculptures to break up the monotony of a wall of books. Or, color-coordinate your books. Not only will it feel more cohesive, but if you've got a lot of bright colors in your collection, they'll stand out even more.

11

Set up a Breakfast Nook

John Gruen

Breakfast with a view? We're in. This one is country-chic and just a touch rustic but still polished. It also proves you don't need to have an actual built-in nook to achieve the right vibe.

12

Spruce up Your Entryway

Paul Raeside

If you don't have a grand foyer—or you do but it needs some love–introduce a small console table. For a formal yet modern aesthetic, opt for a traditional table and then hang modern abstract art above it. Then lean some portraits against the wall for a laid-back take on the gallery wall.

13

Just Add Sheepskin

Leanne Ford Interiors

If any area in your home is feeling austere, sheepskin throws are the easiest solution. They bring in warmth, texture, and comfort while also being super affordable and easy to move throughout your space as your needs and moods shift.

14

Swap Out Your Throw Pillows

Studio Ashby

Throw pillows are the easiest way to freshen up in the bedroom or living room. Introducing a new color, print, or shape with a throw pillow can make the whole space feel new again.

15

Bring a Stool Into the Bathroom

Annie Schlechter

Slide a stool next to the bathtub. Not only will the extra surface space help with organization, but it's also a great way to make the whole space feel more luxe.

16

Show Your Powder Room Some Love

Peter Murdock

It's easy to overlook a room when it's super tiny, especially because there simply isn't enough useable space for décor. But it's definitely possible—and well worth it—to show these nooks some love. Take this powder room, for example. With a light blush pink wall color and a surrounding gallery of eclectic artwork, the small room packs a lot of punch.

17

Install a Canopy

Fantastic Frank

If you want to transform your bedroom into a palace fit for royalty, add a canopy. This white gauze fabric hangs so beautifully and brings an ethereal look to the minimalist bedroom.

18

Swap Accents Seasonally

Nicole Franzen

Plaid? For winter? Not even close to groundbreaking, but we're still here for it. Swapping out accents seasonally will also get you excited for what's to come.

19

Get Inspired by Nature

Leanne Ford Interiors

This space is rich with texture, which creates warmth and dimension. There's also plenty of character even though it's sticking to a strict color palette. For a similarly inviting and grounded environment, get inspired by nature. Think seagrass, rattan, jute, wood, brushed concrete, and marble.

20

Reupholster Your Furinture

Nicole Franzen

Reupholstering your furniture will automatically freshen up an entire space. And if you love eclectic decorating, take notes from this impeccable living room. All the juxtaposition in this room is working so well—the angular mirror, vivid orange art, marble fireplace, rustic stool, and geometric pottery are all unexpectedly complemented by the softness of the blush pink chairs.

21

Simply Tidy Up

Mikael Axelsson

This probably isn't what you want to hear since we don't think of cleaning up as fun, but adding a few pieces that ease organization can make a huge difference. Consider installing coat hooks or bringing in a stylish coat rack coat by the front door. Then place a small folding chair underneath it to sit on when you take off your shoes. This will prevent those dreaded (and previously inevitable) clothing pileups.

22

Color-Block Your Wall

PHOTO: Matthew Williams; DESIGN: Studio DB

For a graphic statement, color-block your wall. Paint half of it a bold color or opt for two neutral tones. Here, black creeps up about a quarter of the way while the rest is a nice shade of steel gray, creating an understated-yet-unique statement.

23

Touch up the Walls

Alexander M. Reid

Freshen up a bathroom by giving the walls a fresh coat of white paint. If that sounds like too much of a commitment, use a magic eraser to touch up smudges. It's bright, refreshing, and the perfect blank backdrop for a fun gallery, as seen in this bathroom designed by Alexander M. Reid.

24

Apply Accent Wallpaper

Catherine Kwong

You don't have to wallpaper your entire room—just pick a wall and accent with it. It's fast, easy, and makes a big difference.

25

Layer Rugs and Patterns

WILLIAM ABRANOWICZ

This eclectic home designed by Sean Scherer is a treasure trove of antiques, whimsical fabrics, and fearless decorating. It's also a masterclass in layering. Why use just one rug when you could have three? Layer rugs in varying colors, prints, and textures to add visual interest to your floor.

26

Rethink Your Gallery Wall

Annie Schlechter

If the walls in a hallway are feeling tired or lackluster, add a gallery wall. Bring in antique frames, or hit up a thrift store or flea market, and arrange a ton of hand mirrors into a gallery wall.

27

Introduce a New Throw Blanket

Robson Rak

Putting a colorful throw blanket at the end of your bed or flung over the sofa is an easy but transformative design trick. It's also a great way to experiment with colors and prints before fully committing to them.

28

Opt for Statement Art

PHOTO: Alexandra Rowley; DESIGN: Studio DB

Make a simple wall a little more exciting with oversized artwork. Choose large-scale photography or something abstract and vibrant to really make a statement.

29

Install New Lighting

Studio Ashby

If there's anything that can single-handedly polish off a room, it's a light fixture. Case in point? That brass pendant light. It feels much more refined and sophisticated than a table lamp would and contrasts with the more traditional elements throughout the bedroom.

30

Paint Your Floors

Thomas Loof

Can you imagine how simple this bathroom looked before it had a bright blue floor? The quick change allows the tub to take center stage. We'd want to soak in there all day long.

31

Put a Bold Floor Lamp in the Corner

Studio DB

This little corner is sleek, stylish, and perfectly handsome as is, thanks to the modern leather lounger and graphic rug. But that floor-to-ceiling lamp is an architectural stunner that really brings in that added wow factor. Look for a floor lamp that doubles as artwork for a similar vibe.

32

Introduce Contrast

Catherine Kwong Design

To create an interesting contrast, replace one thing in an otherwise totally traditional room with something super modern, like this geometric coffee table and abstract-painted floor.

33

Add a Bench at the End of Your Bed

Nicole Franzen

You don't need a footboard. A bench will get the same job done. It'll help anchor your bed, act as a spot to sit and put shoes on, and serve as storage for extra pillows and blankets.

34

Rearrange Your Furniture

Nicole Franzen

Symmetry, who? Your chairs and couches don't have to line up—in fact, you don't even have to have chairs. Put your side table in the corner flanked by two sofas, and if you don't have enough armchairs for a classic living room setup, just place floor cushions by the coffee table.

35

Go Minimalist

Leanne Ford Interiors

Pare your stuff way down and your room will look totally different. This doubles as a makeover and spring cleaning all in one.

36

Add a Statement Tablecloth

House Beautiful

A bold, patterned tablecloth can instantly make a traditional space a little more eclectic. This one picks up the blues in the wallpaper.

37

Play With Proportion

PHOTO: Dustin Askland; DESIGN: Elizabeth Roberts Architecture & Design

This exquisite living room is playing with shape and scale in so many ways—each design detail offers a universe of inspiration. For extra impact and proportional intrigue, hang an oversized mirror. Keep it simple and sleek, opt for a cool shape or color, or keep it classic with an antique.

38

Put Your Collectables on Display

Leanne Ford Interiors

If you've been collecting something for a long time and aren't sure where to put your knick-knacks, install a floating shelf in your room of choice and then line them up. We love the sense of nostalgia these vintage glass bottles add to the bedroom.

39

Screw in a Colorful Light Bulb

Black Lacquer Design

For an unexpected (and easy) pop of color, trade in your classic bulb for a bright one. It adds the same vibe as a neon sign without taking up any space on the wall. Try it in a hallway or entryway, where décor moments are precious and square footage is limited.

40

Introduce Florals

Robson Rak

Adding a nice floral arrangement can beautify a whole room on its own. The shapely vase, accompanying artwork, and unique rose gold faucet in this bathroom don't hurt either.

41

Add Seating to Your Floor

Courtesy of Jesse Parris-Lamb

You could sit on your couch—or you could sit on the comfiest floor pillows ever. We'll take the latter.

See more at Nicole Franzen.

42

Swap Your Window Shades

House Beautiful

You've been there and done that with fabric drapery and Roman shades, so swap your window treatment for an alternative texture, like bamboo. We're swooning over this wild bathroom.

43

Mix in Metallics

House Beautiful

Does anything make a statement like something shiny and gold? Add a metallic light fixture, sculpture, or vase to instantly upgrade your room.

44

Update Bedding Seasonally

Courtesy of Ronen Lev for Nicole Franzen

Jonathan Scott, home design expert and brand ambassador for Stearns & Foster, recommends owning two sheet and comforter sets, so you can swap them out by the season. "In winter, you want warm and inviting bedding, like faux fur and bulky blankets," he says.

See more at Nicole Frazen.

45

Wallpaper a Small Space

Nicole Franzen

Wallpapering a small room or closet will give it a surprising edge. Do the whole room, or just use scraps to line drawers, cabinets, and backsplashes. You could also opt for a statement ceiling.

46

Create a Statement Wall

Jonny Valiant

Designer Zim Loy discovered Harkerware on eBay: "There's tons of it, and it's so cheap!" She started collecting it for her dining room, then covered the whole wall with plates to create the same effect as one big piece of art. (Here's how to hang your own plate wall).

47

Move Furniture Away From the Walls

Courtesy of Tessa Neustadt

Floating furniture away from the walls creates more intimate seating. That means all you have to do is shift your furnishings a few inches to totally transform the vibe in a room.

See more at Amber Interiors.

48

Add Cozy Textiles

Courtesy of Tessa Neustadt

Printed, colorful textiles add so much personality. And as if the bright-colored rug and sleek mounted lights weren't enough, this bedroom has also got a seriously swoon-worthy pendant. The Moroccan-inspired fixture adds eclectic appeal and helps anchor the space.

See more at Amber Interiors.

49

Show Off an Antique

Courtesy of Tessa Neustadt

The copper tub is obviously the star of this bathroom, but it doesn't have to feel dated. A ladder and cool, bohemian rug help it feel more modern.

See more at Amber Interiors.

50

Recover Your Furniture

David A. Land

The super-easy way to switch up your furniture game? Buy a slipcover. It'll be much quicker than fully reupholstering a piece.

51

Ditch Your Coffee Table Base

Courtesy of Nicole Franzen

If you've got a marble-top coffee table, take it off and place it on the floor. Prop it up with some books for a bohemian update.

See more at Nicole Franzen.

52

Lay Down a Rug

Courtesy of Tessa Neustadt

Boho? Rustic? Traditional? The rug you choose can instantly change the whole aesthetic of your room.

See more at Amber Interiors.

53

Mix and Match Chairs

Miki Duisterhof

Swap out your formal chairs (in this case, bright blue and green ones) for a few rustic metal ones. This creates a more casual atmosphere in the dining room.

54

Hang a Colorful Curtain

JULIAN WASS

For the entrance hall of this Pennsylvania farmhouse, designer Jeffrey Bilhuber opted for a curtain instead of a door. The deep yellow fabric pops against the regal blue wall color and adds rich texture to the space.

55

Add Color on Open Shelves

NGOC MINH NGO

Open shelving allows for fast and easy decor changes. Blue accents stand out against a neutral palette.

2. Opt for instant storage

Perfect for a living room, bedroom or hallway, a set of freestanding shelves provides practical storage without the need for any drilling; plus it's easy to move from room-to-room or even house-to-house if you are not staying put for long. If you're looking for a contemporary design, a ladder storage unit would make a great – and stylish – addition to your home. There's no need to overfill the shelves but do show off your best hardback books, ornaments and family mementos, and pop a trailing plant (real or artificial) on the top shelf too.

Marks & Spencer

3. Reupholster or add loose covers

Give tired upholstery a new lease of life by slipping on a set of loose covers. Bemz make gorgeous patterned and plain covers for all of Ikea's sofas and chairs – choose a soft geometric design in a spring pastel shade for an instant uplift. For non-Ikea upholstery, try Plumbs. co.uk where you can choose from hundreds of fabrics from manufacturers such as Sanderson and Linwood, and have the covers made to measure.

4. Add vinyl wall stickers

Nature-inspired designs will inject life into plain living spaces and even in the smallest nooks and crannies.

5. Create an indoor plant haven

There's no better way to inject life into your space than with houseplants. Plants can help you connect with nature, boost your mental health and purify the air (dependent on the variety), and they're an instant way of adding of greenery around your home, which is always a welcome and beautiful sight.

'Put simply, plants make us happy! Instantly transforming any space, they are not only a quick and easy decorating solution but they bring us so much more than most home accessories,' says Claire Bishop, Houseplant Buyer at Dobbies. 'Personally, I like to style into groups of three or five, with contrasting textures to brighten up any shelf or tabletop. Mixing it up with different heights and shapes can also help to create an Instagrammable display.'

From giant Monstera plants to small succulents, head to your local garden centre or B&Q and Homebase. For online-only stores, try Patch, Bloombox Club and Waitrose Garden.

Bloombox Club

6. Go for colour block

Add colour to a room by painting lines or blocks onto the wall – it's a great way to transform a space. Use a spirit level and non-bleed masking tape to get the lines perfectly straight and continue the colour over woodwork for a contemporary look.

7. Hang a piece of art

A beautiful painting is a great way to inject character and personality into a space. Hang a bold single painting, a group of prints or framed family photographs. Art doesn't have to be expensive, look for up-and-coming artists at degree show exhibitions as well as online galleries that showcase contemporary, limited edition and one-off prints.

Head to Artfinder for a huge selection of art from independent artists, or Fy! for a selection of contemporary paintings, photography and prints.

Artfinder

8. Invest in lighting

Lighting is integral to bringing a room to life and can change the whole aesthetic, feel and mood, taking it from cold and unwelcoming to warm and cosy. Even replacing a dull shade with something bolder and brighter can make a huge difference. Try ditching the overhead pendant and lighting up any dark corners with colourful and easy to install table and floor lamps instead. Head to BHS, John Lewis, Pooky or Heal's for some statement lighting.

Pooky

9. Buy fresh flowers

Bright and beautiful fresh flowers will bring you as much joy as houseplants, and besides, nothing beats the smell of fresh blooms! Placing a bunch of flowers on the console table in the hallway, on the dining table, or even on the kitchen island is the perfect finishing touch and will help to create a calm, welcoming atmosphere. For a regular supply of blooms, why not buy a flower subscription service? Head to Bloom & Wild or Bunches for a subscription package.

Tim Young

10. Update your tablecloth or table runner

Throw a bright patterned tablecloth over a plain dining table for an instant hit of colour. For a more family-friendly solution, opt for anti-stain cloths. Alternatively, the table runner – a piece of cloth that runs along the length of a table – has become a decorating staple in the last five years, as noted in Lakeland's trend report. Cheaper and less bulky than a tablecloth, it enables you to add a splash of colour or texture to a table setting with minimal fuss. When dressing your table add a small vase of cut flowers and candles (pillars, tea lights or flameless ones) to set the scene.

La Redoute

11. Change knobs and handles

Kitchen cabinetry can be expensive to replace but changing cupboard handles and knobs is a really simple, affordable update that can be just as effective. 'Numerous styles of handles on the market range from thin door pulls, cup pulls and glass knobs, whilst materials can range from brushed chrome, copper, brass and marble,' explain the team at Terry's Fabrics.

Blakes London

12. Decorate with stencils

Bring your walls to life with stencils. If your room is painted in one colour, then using a patterned paint roller down one side or even as a border will give your space a subtle yet elegant transformation. If you really want to get creative, think about stencilling items of furniture too. Head to Etsy for a wide range of patterned paint rollers, from florals to woodland leaves and animal designs.

Etsy

13. Refresh bedding

It's amazing what difference new bed linen can make. Ditch the all-white look in favour of a hit of fresh spring pink, the perfect partner to cool grey. A subtle tone on tone stripe stops pink looking too girly. Opt for new duvet covers too to reflect changing seasons – botanical or floral prints always work well in any bedroom scheme. For affordable bedding sets, take a look at John Lewis & Partners, Marks & Spencer and Made.com.

John Lewis & Partners

14. Revamp your window treatments

Don't neglect your windows! For an instant transformation, swap your old curtains or blinds for some new ones. It doesn't have to be bold – even the most subtle designs will give a room a fresh new look.

15. Add colour to interior doors

Painting your interior doors will bring some character and personality to your living space and really elevate your room. Especially in a bedroom, you can really cocoon your space and create a snug and cosy sanctuary if you door matches the wall colour. Not sure which colour to choose? Buy a 30ml Dulux Colour Tester for £1.90 – the roller tester means it's easy to use and, more importantly, mess-free!

16. Get creative with wallpaper

Revamp a mundane room with wallpaper. There are so many patterns and designs available nowadays that you really are spoilt for choice. A bold floral wall mural will work wonders in a bedroom, whilst a subtle botanical design will make a welcoming entrance in a hallway, for example. And don't be afraid to mix and match: 'One tip for decorating hallways which I find especially useful is to use a plain textured wallpaper on three walls and then a patterned design on the fourth wall,' explains designer Christine Westcott.

House Beautiful/Tim Young

17. Hang a statement mirror

Mirrors are a great way to create the illusion of a larger, brighter space and helps to bounce light around the room. A good place to hang a wall mirror – other than the hallway – is in the dining area. Feng shui expert, Priya Sher, says to optimise the energy in this space, you should place a mirror on the wall to reflect the dining table.

Graham & Green

18. Upcycle

Upcycling is great, cost-effective way to breathe new life into old items. Achieve the rustic or shabby chic look by sanding and repainting wooden furniture and making cushions from old curtains.

How to decorate a house with appliqués

The easiest, simplest and most original way to decorate a wall in a room is a pattern on the walls made from the remnants of wallpaper and stickers, that is, an appliqué. Using this method, you can create any pattern and pattern, as well as beautiful inscriptions by drawing them on a computer and carefully sticking them on the wall. But it is worth remembering that bright applications are suitable for children's rooms, and in other rooms you can use pastel colors. If you do not pick up contrasting wallpapers for the application, then the pattern may not be noticeable enough. Using this type of wall decoration, you can not only slightly change the look of the room, but also radically transform the interior of the room. nine0003

Embroidery, textiles, pillows

When choosing curtains, it is worth remembering that they should be several tones brighter than the walls of the room. Also, do not forget about the retainers for curtains, which should fit the overall interior of the room.

Decorating a room with shelves

A functional and aesthetic way to decorate your home with your own hands is to use shelves. How to do it?

Do not forget two rules: for the shelves to really decorate the house, they must contrast with the wall, and the objects on them must be arranged harmoniously, without chaos.

Lighting

Lighting is a great way to decorate a room and plays one of the most important roles in decorating. Just changing the lighting will help to achieve huge results in decoration. After all, it is a large amount of light that is a frequent technique used by designers. Lots of natural soft light in your bedroom or living room will help you relax, while a cool color in your office will help you concentrate. nine0003

Plants, flowers

It is known that flowers and plants are not only the main source of oxygen, but also a beautiful and modern decoration for the room. With the help of plants, you can refresh the room, make the interior more natural and natural. But you need to use flowers in moderation and try not to overdo it, otherwise the room will look like a greenhouse. Flowers are chosen depending on the color and size of the plant. But it is worth remembering that plant species are selected not only depending on your taste, but also depending on the conditions needed by certain types of flowers. Some like a lot of moisture, others a lot of sunlight or shade, so this feature should also be taken into account. nine0003

DIY crafts

There are different ideas on the Internet to decorate a room with your own hands by creating a variety of crafts. Here are a few of them.

Circle painting

A very easy way to decorate a room with your own hands is a bubble painting. To create it, we only need a tablet, scissors, a large brush, matte decoupage glue, white acrylic paint and papyrus paper of the desired colors. First you need to paint the tablet with a layer of white paint and dry, then cut out circles of different sizes from papyrus paper and distribute them on the tablet according to your tastes. Next, glue the circles and gently smooth them with a brush. The bubble painting is ready. Also, instead of circles, you can use completely different shapes to your taste. nine0003

Images from Instagram

Paste photos from Instagram onto a square tablet using a brush and glue, after printing them out and cutting them out. It is worth considering the size of photos and a tablet. For 9 10x10 photos to fit perfectly, the base should be 30x30. You can also do without cardboard by sticking images directly on the wall using double-sided tape. The idea for decorating the room is ready.

Topographic threads

This way of decorating a room requires accuracy and patience. We will need a wooden tablet, a hammer, small nails and thread. First, we apply the desired pattern to the base. Then we put a few points into which we drive nails. Next, we tie the thread to one nail and randomly wrap it around each nail. For better results, you can repeat the process with a thread of a different color.

Video

We recommend watching these videos to help decorate the room in an original way. nine0003
