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.

02 of 50

Whittney Parkinson Design

Wallpaper can make a striking addition to any space, but when used in large doses, it can look a little overwhelming. If you’re not a fan of maximalism, consider using bold wallpaper in a smaller space, like a powder room. Since the space is so small, your wallpaper is unlikely to feel loud or overwhelming. Plus, it’s a surefire way to turn your powder room into a show-stopper.

Yael Weiss Interiors

If you’re looking for a way to dress up a bare corner, consider DIYing a reading nook. Most reading nooks require a mere few pieces—a lounge chair, a side table, and a lamp—so they’re incredibly easy to throw together. Plus, reading nooks don’t demand much space so you can easily sneak one into an otherwise-empty spot.

Anne Sage

Cabinets tend to be a focal point in kitchens, bathrooms, and other storage-lined spaces, so consider giving yours a tune-up. A quick coat of paint can be a low-maintenance way to freshen up your cabinets and transform your space.

05 of 50

Becca Interiors

Sometimes, redecorating your home doesn’t require any furniture or décor at all. Instead, you can give one of your walls a makeover by covering it in paint, tiles, or some other striking material.

Accent walls can look great, whether they’re small or sprawling, and you can use some thoughtfully placed décor to make sure yours fits in with the rest of your space.

06 of 50

LeClair Decor

When decorating your space, try not to overlook your bathroom. Odds are, you spend a fair amount of time in there, and since the room is small, it should be easy to transform. Snag a few bathroom accessories like a bath stool, a basket, some plants or candles, and watch as your space goes from low-key to luxe.

07 of 50

White Sands

Kitchen floors tend to be cold, hard, and sleek, which can make cooking a little tough on your toes. Consider warming up your space with a rug. A plush rug can lend function and form to your space in equal measure. Plus, there are tons of machine-washable options out there so you shouldn’t have to worry about spills and stains.

08 of 50

Ashley Montgomery Design

Many homes are filled with sleek furniture, and while this furniture is incredibly pretty, it isn’t always fun to sit on. If there’s a spot in your home that could use a little warmth, consider bringing in some fluffy blankets and pillows. These pieces may seem out of place in an office or dining room. but once you add them, you’ll never look back.

09 of 50

Arbor & Co.

Headboards are a popular way to dress up your bedroom, but they’re not the only option on offer. Decorating the wall behind your bed can be a great way to add color, texture, or general statement-making appeal to your space.

10 of 50

Katie Martinez Design

Art is the cherry on top of any well-decorated space, and it doesn’t just belong in your living room. Sneaking art into less obvious spots, like your bathroom, can bring your home together, making it feel more thoughtfully decorated and of course, more special.

11 of 50

Sarah Fultz Interiors

Doors rarely get the same love that our windows, walls, and floors do, so before purchasing a new piece of home décor, consider whether the items that are built-in to your space need a makeover. Giving your door a new coat of paint or some fresh hardware could be all you need to dress up your space.

12 of 50

Pure Salt Interiors

Hanging a chandelier is a surefire way to transform a room. Living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms are obvious picks, but bathrooms can really benefit from luxe lighting. And really, who doesn’t want to bathe underneath an elegant chandelier?

13 of 50

Blue Copper Design

If a room is low on windows, consider bringing in a full-length mirror to act as an extra window. By placing the mirror along a wall that’s near a couple of windows, you can multiply the light in your space while making that wall feel a little less bare.

14 of 50

Tyler Karu

Many of us think to paint our kitchen cabinets, but your kitchen island could use a makeover too. In fact, it might need one more than your cabinets do. Give your island a little attention and cover it in a vibrant coat of paint.

15 of 50

Pure Salt Interiors

Design isn’t just about making things look pretty. It’s about making your space feel more liveable, and that requires a balance of form and function. Look for ways to use items you already need as décor. Putting your prettiest pots on display is a great way to keep them at the ready—and to make your kitchen look more stylish, too.

16 of 50

House Nine

Many of us accept the bathroom mirrors our homes came with, but we don’t have to. Switching out your mirror can be a great way to turn your bathroom into a show-stopper. Look for an option that’s striking, but practical—after all, you still want to be able to check your reflection whenever you need to.

17 of 50

Julia Robbs

A quick coat of paint can change a space, and if you’re really looking to switch things up, consider committing to a bolder color. Of course, bold doesn’t have to mean vibrant—it could just as easily describe a shade that isn’t particularly popular or obvious.

18 of 50

LeClair Decor

Make your home’s first impression a good one by dressing up your entryway. Look for bare walls, corners, and other spots that could use a little furniture or décor. Then, bring some in. Low-profile console tables and small mirrors can round out your space without demanding a ton of unnecessary space.

7 Design Mistakes You Might be Making In Your Entryway

19 of 50

Pure Salt Interiors

Accent walls typically exist in living rooms and dining rooms, but who’s to say you can’t put one in your shower? By lining one of your shower walls with brightly colored or boldly printed tiles, you can achieve the same effect and give your bathroom the love and attention it deserves.

20 of 50

LeClair Decor

Lighting can change the way a room looks and feels, so don’t take your fixtures for granted. Take a good, hard look at your bedroom’s lighting set-up, and consider whether it could be improved.

Should you swap your ceiling light with a modern chandelier, or build in a couple of bedside sconces? Even a statement-making nightstand lamp can go a long way.

21 of 50

Bespoke Only

Shelves can add order to any space, but depending on how you display them, they can also add visual appeal. Consider staggering yours to create a storage set-up that doubles as a statement-maker.

22 of 50

Julian Porcino

Dining room chairs typically come in matching sets, but if you’d prefer something more dynamic, you can piece together a set of your own. Mix and match six completely different chairs. Or, combine two different sets, using one along the sides of your dining room table and accent chairs at the ends.

23 of 50

Studio KT

Art may not be a must-have in every space, but it’s certainly a nice-to-have. Start stocking up on pieces you love and build out your collection over time.

24 of 50

Maite Granda

Keep an eye out for spaces that are under-utilized and look for ways to make them work for you. Could you transform a wide window sill into a cozy bench? With a couple of thoughtfully placed cushions and pillows, you probably can.

25 of 50

Reena Sotropa

Painting your cabinets isn’t the only way to give your kitchen a makeover. If you don’t mind exerting a little effort, you can craft a bold backsplash using a set of statement-making tiles.

26 of 50

Jessica Nelson Design

Mantels are an obvious place to store décor, and mirrors are a classic thing to place there. The only problem? It can be hard to find a mirror that’s wide enough to suit your mantel. If you run into this common issue, consider placing your mirror in the center of your mantel and flanking its sides with other décor pieces .

27 of 50

Katie Martinez Design

Your walls aren’t the only thing worth decorating. Look up and consider whether your ceiling could use a makeover, too.

A coat of paint or a couple of lighting fixtures could quickly transform the top half of your space. And if you don’t mind tackling something more involved, you can always line your ceiling with a textured material like wood paneling.

28 of 50

Rikki Snyder

Looking for a place to store your favorite art? Consider hanging some in your kitchen. The choice is a little unconventional, sure, but that’s what makes it so statement-making. Plus, your kitchen could use some décor that’s not just your prettiest pots and pans.

29 of 50

Erin Williamson Design

A rug is a great way to cozy up any space, and if you spring for a bold or vibrant option, it can also be a great way to dress up any space. If your living room is in need of a little color, bring a striking rug into the mix.

30 of 50

Cathie Hong Interiors

When decorating your home, don’t stop at your interior. Take a look at your outdoor space, too. A little patio furniture and a few durable accessories can transform a porch, backyard, or balcony, giving you even more space to enjoy.

31 of 50

Rikki Snyder

If you’re upgrading your home bit-by-bit, go where you’ve never decorated before. Take a peek under your staircase, and look for walls and corners that are completely empty. By maximizing these neglected spots, you can increase the efficiency of your home by a lot with very little effort.

32 of 50

Katie Hodges Design

Bath mats offer an obvious way to cozy up your bathroom, but if your bathroom is pretty big, you might want to throw a rug in there too.

These pieces serve different purposes, as you don’t want to treat your rug like a towel. But, you should be able to find a cute rug that can handle the wear and tear of your bathroom.

33 of 50

Katie Hodges Design

It can be tough to figure out what to do with a nonfunctional fireplace. But, with a little creativity, yours can quickly become a striking decorative accent. Consider filling your fireplace with books or plants, or pay homage to its roots and line it with firewood.

34 of 50

Yael Weiss Interiors

Plants make a no-fail addition to any space, and if you own one that’s particularly lush or massive, consider making it the focal point of your space. Keep the rest of your décor clean, and let your plant be your statement-maker, or simply use your favorite plants as complements to your other décor.

35 of 50

Mary Patton Design

One particularly bold way to transform your space? Line your stairs with statement-making upholstery. Hardwood stairs may look incredibly sleek, but upholstered stairs tend to feel pretty cozy. Plus, they’ll add some visual interest to your foyer.

36 of 50

Michelle Boudreau Design

Lining your shelves with décor is a popular way to outfit them. But, if you want to take things a step further, you can also decorate the walls between your shelves—either with a vibrant coat of paint or a little printed wallpaper.

37 of 50

Blue Copper Design

Tiles can make a striking addition to your floors and backsplashes, but those aren’t the only places worth putting them. With a little creativity, you can use tiles to transform any spot into a statement-maker—and your kitchen island could be a great place to start.

38 of 50

Tyler Karu

Drawer pulls, doorknobs, and faucets put the finishing touches on any space. If you’re looking for a less obvious way to dress up a room, consider upgrading your hardware. Mix and match pieces from different eras, or commit to a palette and fill your space with it.

39 of 50

Ashley Montgomery Design

Gallery walls are classic for a reason: they look great and make it easy to put your favorite art on display. So, don’t write them off just because you’ve seen them before. There’s a difference between often done and overdone, and your favorite pieces would probably look great in a gallery wall.

40 of 50

Arbor & Co.

Kitchen tables tend to be pretty formulaic, but yours doesn’t have to be. By building a banquette, you can craft a dining nook that feels veritably restaurant-worthy—without breaking the bank.

41 of 50

Becca Interiors

Pay attention to the smaller details in your space, like the trim lining your walls and windows. When given attention, these little motifs can have an outsized impact. You can even consider painting them instead of your walls.

42 of 50

Julian Porcino

Your bathroom deserves as much love as any other room, and since it’s a small space, it’s pretty easy to upgrade from top to bottom. Start by switching out your lighting fixtures, then work your way down to your floors. Sprinkle in a few accessories, splurge on a brand-new tub, and bring the space together with some wall décor.

43 of 50

Maite Granda

Conventional wisdom might suggest that you can only use one bold print in a space. But the truth is, you can typically get away with mixing and matching a few patterns—and throwing in a few bright colors too.

44 of 50

Erin Williamson Design

Your floors can make a bold addition to your space if you let them. Spring for a statement-making rug, mix and match bold tiles, or commit to a sleek material like stained hardwoods or slick concrete.

45 of 50

Jenn Pablo Studio

Not sure what to do with an empty corner? Pair a bold accent chair with a small side table, and watch the spot become a focal point in your space.

46 of 50

Tyler Karu

Window sills look fine when left bare, but if you’re looking for an easy way to dress up your space, consider lining yours with a few of your favorite plants.

47 of 50

House Nine

Searching for a budget-friendly way to transform your bedroom? Take a risk on a bold headboard. A headboard can completely change the way your bedroom looks without forcing you to invest in a full-blown renovation or splurge on a brand new bed.

48 of 50

Sarah Fultz Interiors

Sometimes, you don’t need to buy new furniture—you just need to fix up what you already have. This could mean sanding, staining, and switching out hardware. Often, something as simple as a quick paint job can go a long way.

49 of 50

Studio Peake

Bar carts offer a stylish way to store your favorite drinks. But, if you want to do something a little less expected, consider springing for a bar cabinet instead. Yours can be as simple or as statement-making as you want it to be, and since bar cabinets tend to be pretty spacious, you’ll have plenty of room to store all your stuff.

Look for ways to enhance the inherent strengths of your space. Highlight a stained glass window, or draw attention to an exposed brick wall. Use what you already have as a starting point for new décor, and work your way out from there.

2021 trends: 10 decor trends

Trends

New year - new heroes and new trends. And although 2020 turned out to be special, and many trend-setting events were canceled, nevertheless, those few autumn exhibitions that took place (including in digital format, like Maison & Objet), revealed several clear trends. Some of them have already sounded before, others are just beginning to gain momentum. One way or another, trendsetters in interior fashion believe that the new year will once again confirm our love for piece handmade items and crafts, natural materials and soft forms.

Furniture and objects of local craftsmen

If earlier only eco-activists were concerned about the origin and conditions of production of products, now this problem is coming to the fore. Increasingly, buyers are opting for items made by local artisans and artisan workshops. The slogan "Support the domestic manufacturer!" as relevant as ever in our troubled times.

Sculptural forms and "totems"

In the new year, the love for expressive objects on the verge of design and art in the interior will continue, and sculptural forms and objects resembling totems will be especially popular. Candlesticks, stools, vases, tables, tables on sculptural bases and decor items - all this becomes a spectacular decoration, a real work of art. Experts believe that this love for sculptural objects is associated with the phenomenon of ritualization and the so-called "new spirituality", which is becoming increasingly important in interiors.

Straw yellow

The desire to become closer to nature is inextricably linked with the passion for natural materials and the natural palette, which, according to the leading colorists, will rule the show in the coming 2021. Among the many natural shades, the light straw color has a special charm, which goes well with other colors of the natural range (beige, earthy gray, terracotta) and looks great both on small accessories and on large pieces of furniture.

Items with an “artistic nature”

Love for art and things that can create an artistic mood will become even more pronounced in the coming 2021, trendsetters believe. The works of Cocteau, Picasso, Miro, Brancusi, Van Gogh and other masters who excited minds in the middle of the 20th century remain a source of inspiration for many young product and interior designers, with whose light hand our house can turn into a real art gallery. Sculpture vases, picture pillows, abstract compositions, designer paintings and furniture will continue to fill our homes, giving the interior a unique and artistic spirit. Down with formal decor, long live art!

Furniture upholstered in bouclé wool

Boucle wool, an integral part of our autumn-winter wardrobe, is also actively introduced into our interiors. Upholstered furniture in textured, pleasant to the touch wool upholstery has been at the peak of popularity for more than a season and will continue to gain momentum next year. What is the secret of success? Trendsetters believe that boucle wool perfectly combines comfort, sophistication and design - in a word, everything that we value so much in the design of our home. In fact, the mere sight of a chair in such upholstery makes the soul feel warm!

Light wood

Our craze for natural materials isn't going away in 2021, but this time around, light wood is in the spotlight. Goodbye dark, lacquered Art Deco walnut, long live the Scandinavian spirit with its love of plain plank floors and birch! From the living room and bedroom to the hallway and bathroom, from dining tables to bedside tables, light wood will reign in our interiors, inviting you to enjoy simplicity, the only true luxury!

Handmade ceramics and decor

Just like sculptural furniture, handmade ceramics and decor make our homes unique. Each such product is unique and reflects the character and mood of the artist who made it, bears the imprint of human hands. Vases, cups, plates and jugs cease to be a purely utilitarian object, but acquire artistic value.

Cold "mineral" shades

The fact that in 2021 natural colors (neutral, earthy and warm terracotta and sunny shades) will reign in our interiors does not mean at all that there are places for cold "mineral" shades there no. On the contrary, the texture of ceramics, metal or wood is well emphasized by cold blue, gray and green shades, as if borrowed from stones and minerals.

Pebble furniture and accessories

The fascination with streamlined natural forms in design did not start today, but this year many brands are massively including pebble-shaped furniture in their collections.
