What to Do When Your Home Style Changes

Are you looking for a change in your home decor? Do you want to refresh the design style your home currently features? No matter how your home is decorated, there are several tips and tricks on how to revamp your style with ease. Whether you’re looking to go from Farmhouse to Mid-Century Modern or take a Bohemian style home into something more contemporary, Posh Home Designs – Decorating Den Interiors can help. 

Recycle what you can. First and foremost, set aside the items you want to keep. Some decorative pieces you already own might translate into the new style you’re trying to achieve. In some cases, you may even be able to upcycle what you have, making a few simple changes to have it match the style you’re aiming to exemplify. For example, you may be able to take a farmhouse TV stand and remove the doors or swap the hardware to make it more modern. By starting with a knowledge of the design elements you already possess, you’ll be able to save money on your home decor redo. 

Recycled TV Stand

Seek decor inspiration. Pinterest is one of the best places to jumpstart your design refresh. Start by searching for the design style you wish to incorporate into your home. From there, scan the images that your search result brings you, paying attention to things like color schemes, light fixtures, textures and materials, and furnishings. These things will all prove helpful when it comes to buying new elements for your home design. You can also scan magazines or our blog for inspiration. 

Invest in decorating elements that will withstand the test of time. If your budget allows for big-ticket items, carefully consider them before you make a purchase. Choose pieces that can transcend design styles if you can. Think couches in neutral colors and durable fabrics or a dining room table made from natural materials. This way, when you want to change design styles again in the future, you don’t have to scrap everything you own and start over completely. 

Neutral Living Room Furniture

Donate the decorating items you don’t want or won’t use. While revamping your home style, you might come across things that are in good condition but won’t match the vibe you’re going for. Give those items you no longer want a new home by donating them to organizations like the Salvation Army or Operation Homefront. Other organizations like Habitat For Humanity and Goodwill are always looking for items from the kitchen, while local shelters (for animals and people!) will take any unwanted linens off of your hands. Often, these services will come to your house and pick up furniture and decor items free of charge. 

Sometimes trends come along that are hard to resist. But, like most fads, you will eventually grow out of them—and this includes home design styles. As you follow these tips while going through your next style transformation, keep in mind color palettes. You can easily replace throw pillows, artwork, or blankets, but neutrals transition the easiest when it comes to your wall color and focal point furniture.
