Are you part of the bunch that skims through Pinterest saving interior decor ideas boards? Change is knocking and your space probably does need some new sprucing up – but this could all be so simple.
These simple decor ideas can easily lighten up your space
Let’s not get overwhelmed by those Pinterest boards as we sit and think a whole revamp needs to take place. Whether you’re looking to add more colour into the mix or turn your living room into the ultimate cosy section, there are minimal ways to achieve this.
All of these are that finishing touch you’ve looked for and you’ll probably be working with a lot of what you have already as you add some new to your old.
Add some rugs
Rugs are the cosy touch, especially in the winter season. They give warmth to the floor and structure to any setting. If you’ve scrolled through Pinterest during lockdown you probably saw the rise of the handmade tufted rugs that was easily a lockdown hobby for many people. The tufted rug is playful and colourful – that’s the point.
Bring in a plant friend
If you’re not already a plant lover, just know that a little bit of green life instantly adds a different feel to a home – and brightens up the whole aesthetic of a space. You can decorate with a bunch of plants standing in one corner or set on one table piece. Or go large and purchase a tall stand-alone plant. Choose a tropical plant with large green leaves to be a decor piece on its own.
Add some art to your bare walls
Bare walls could work a lot of the time but if you want to play around, add some art. You could get one large canvas and/or smaller ones around it. Or you could make a gallery wall that features some of your photo frames, local art, and thrifted art. You could add some shelving too, where you line up oil burners and sentiment objects etc.
What about a mirror?
Besides you having to use your mirror for your hours getting ready, it can also be used as a decor piece. Now think out of the box here. Pick a mirror (or a few of them to place around the house) that’s not of the ordinary shapes and forms. You can play around with really long diagonal ones or a bunch of smaller circular ones all on the same wall.
Scent up your place
Tap into some aromatherapy while you decorate your sanctuary. Get a few oil burners, light them up, add your favourite essential oil and place the burners around the home. This is an easy way to switch up the mood from ‘energetic’ to ‘down time’. Plus the burners act as little ornaments on any shelf, window sole or table.
