At times, especially now, home can feel too lived in and too familiar. You no longer look forward to decompressing in your own space because it has suddenly become unordinary, dull, and dreary. After all, it very well may be all you have known for the past year! Do not fear; Posh Home Designs has just the fix. With these five easy-to-implement decor swaps, you can make small changes that are sure to bring new life and energy to your home.
Mix Up Your Paint Palette
To make a bold statement, select a new paint color and create an accent wall. If your home is currently coated in light neutrals like white, beige, or tan, be willing to go dark. A moody green or blue will create an interesting focal point that can easily tie into the rest of your aesthetic by adding other small pieces of home decor in the same color. Or, to maintain a neutral palette but still add intrigue, try creating an accent wall with subtle, patterned wallpaper. Either approach will introduce something new and inspiring to your space.
Reform Your Furniture
There is no need to buy when you can quickly restore existing pieces. Dramatically change larger wood furniture by layering it with different stains or coats of paint. Restyle a fabric-covered piece by reupholstering it in an unexpected color, pattern, or texture. Whichever you choose, both methods are easy, affordable, and guaranteed to make what you have look brand new.
Pick New Pillow Covers
Try adding a new, patterned throw blanket to your family or living room, then change the throw pillow covers to match. You might use the covers as an opportunity to accent specific colors in the new blanket or to add complementary patterns and textures. From thick knits to panels of fringe, the pillow possibilities are endless. Just be sure to take a chance on mixing, matching, and layering — often, the more colors and textures you have, the more depth and interest you add, and the more welcoming your space become overall.
Explore New Wall Art and Frames
Consider hanging new prints that bring you joy. From colorful illustrations to detailed line drawings and motivational quotes, there are countless ways to change your wall art and revitalize your space. Or, if you love what you already have on display, try changing the frames you use. Explore different materials, finishes, and widths to control where your attention goes and how it moves throughout the room.
Idea: In addition to hanging art, you might bring more innovative hangings like macrame panels or indoor plants into your design, both of which will add color and texture.
Customize Your Hardware
Mix and match the knobs, pulls, and bars on the cabinets throughout your home. Use the small touches of hardware to add bold new finishes, statement colors, or eccentric patterns to the kitchen, pantry, laundry room, or bathroom. This project might seem like it would result in an insignificant and unnoticeable change, but it can add so much personalization and character to your space.
Even the smallest of swaps can make a big statement when it comes to your home decor. If you’re unsure where to start, contact us today at 248-906-9300 to schedule a complimentary in-home consultation.
