10 Unique Home Decor Ideas to Give Your Home a Makeover

Any interior designer will tell you that adding a large, bold mirror to a room is guaranteed to refresh your space by making it look bigger and brighter. Rather than opting for a rectangular frame, we suggest choosing something in an unusual shape, like this wavy-edged mirror from Urban Outfitters, for added visual effect.

Bookends are a great organizational tool that will make any bookshelf look neater and more organized. Get the right set, however, and you’ll add character to your display too. Plus, if you don’t have the space (or budget) for a proper shelf, bookends can turn any free surface into a makeshift bookcase. While there are tons of options, we love these West Elm marbles for their whimsical, dreamy vibe.

If you’re renting an apartment where you can’t paint your walls, or you’re just not up for taking on such a big project, wall decals can be your best friend. They’re easy to apply and won’t damage your walls when it’s time to move on. I tend to change my mind, so I love that you can remove them in minutes by heating the material with a hair dryer and then peeling it off. For a retro look, opt for this colorblock decal, which is made of smooth matte vinyl that will look great even on textured walls. Bonus: It looks like something you could have painted yourself!

If you have an awkward nook or spare nook, fill it with a standout piece of furniture like this hanging chair from Urban Outfitters. Sure, it will provide extra seating, but it’s really all about the boho-chic charm it brings to your space. Don’t want to drill holes in the ceiling? Go for a similar hanging chair that comes with its own base so you don’t have to worry about installation. Then, hang some cushions to dress up your hanging chair and surround it with some plants for even more comfort.

There are plenty of ways to make your home more organized without compromising on style. Case in point: This gorgeous set of five brilliantly patterned wall hooks are ideal for hanging coats, scarves, umbrellas and hats. When not in use, painted wooden knobs double as original art for your walls. Plus, they come with hardware for easy installation.

Whether you choose to cover all the walls or highlight just a section, peel and stick wallpaper is an easy way to add new energy and visual interest to your space. You can also use it to brighten up a dull shelf, cabinet, counter or backsplash. I am currently nursing a case of severe wanderlust and was immediately drawn to this option, which evokes the rooftop gardens of San Francisco. If that’s not your style, however, Spoonflower offers thousands of different patterns and prints, so it’s safe to say there’s something for everyone.

Long, graceful pampas grass is a major decor trend these days for good reason: the showy, sculptural stems are both soothing and dramatic, and they bring welcome texture to any space. Use a few to zhuzh in an empty corner, add a few stems to a vase for a stunning centerpiece, or scoop up a bunch of vibrant colored stems to bring color to a monochromatic room.

You can trick the eye into perceiving a room as larger and less cluttered by opening up floor space and lifting items from the gorund. Wall mounted shelves are one way to do it, but this wooden shelf, which hangs from ceiling hooks by four corded strands, is a particularly delightful spin on the concept. Not only is it a surefire conversation piece, but it will bring new dimensional interest to your space. Although it’s designed as a bedside table, we also love the idea of ​​using it instead of a side table in your living room.

Want to revamp your space without investing in new furniture? Adding throw pillows can completely redefine your space by adding texture, introducing a new color palette, or emphasizing the one you already have. Juxtapose solid-colored pillows with more ornate pillows, like these lovely embroidered pillows from Rifle Paper Co. You’ll be surprised how brighter and polished your home will be with a few new pillows strewn about.

Sheer curtains are a powerful decorating tool. Barely visible fabric lets in lots of light, while the fabric adds warmth, texture and personality. This dreamy option from Etsy packs vintage character and a pop of color.
