These 10 Unique Decor Ieas That Can Transform Your Home ust might give you the creative ideas you need for that transformation you crave
Your home decor is an excellent way to express yourself. Every house is worthy of a personal touch. Here are ten unique decor ideas that will transform the look of your home, making it more enjoyable for you and your family.
1. Create an Indoor Garden
While houseplants are common around homes, you can step up your love of plants by creating a true indoor garden. If you have a sunroom or nook you don’t use, you can fill it with your favorite houseplants and herbs.
These gardens make excellent reading nooks, meditation spaces or dining areas. They can also help relieve stress and purify the room’s air. To keep the natural vibe going, add stone or wooden furniture in this area.
2. Install Shaped Bookshelves
Many home goods companies now create bookshelves that go beyond traditional shapes. These can make fun and unique decor around your whole home.
Trees are a popular shape for corners, circles, and oval bookcases that can fit a modern or funky design scheme and rocket ships, flowers and rainbows are just some of the shapes to spark a child’s imagination.
3. Create an Arch
Decorative arches are typical in yards and gardens, but you can bring them inside, too. An archway creates an excellent focal point for a closed floor plan. You can install an arch in a doorway with paint, wood or artificial vines.
If you don’t have space to install an arch, you can create an illusion of one by molding it to form a round or square arch.
4. Add a Gallery Wall
While many family photo albums are digital, you can create a wall filled with memories. A gallery wall features photos and artwork of various sizes and unique frames.
You can find frames at thrift or retail stores. Print out your favorite photos of loved ones, pair them with your frames and you’ll create a one-of-a-kind wall.
5. Get a Cork Rug
Cork is a material coming into fashion, but it can take work to maintain it as flooring. However, a cork rug is an excellent home decor addition for someone who values comfort and a unique look.
If you lay it out on the ground, cork’s unique texture creates a comfortable surface to walk and play on. You can roll out one of these rugs over tile, linoleum or hardwood to enjoy for many years. Cork has many benefits, including its comfortable texture, eco-friendliness, fire resistance and durability.
6. Install Color-Changing Lights
Lighting can affect your mood, add ambiance and help you energize and relax. Why choose one light color and undertone when you can switch it as you desire?
Many brands have lights that come with remotes, so you can change the color to fit how you’re feeling. Whether setting the mood for relaxation or creating the perfect atmosphere for gaming and movie-watching, the possibilities are endless with these bulb systems.
7. Mix Fabric Textures
You can turn a room from generic to fascinating by mixing textures. Layer fabric textures on couches and walls to create functional artwork with your favorite warm and breathable pillows, blankets and tapestries.
Wool, satin and polyester are different textures that can add dimension to your space. You can also use these fabrics to incorporate pops of color in an otherwise neutral room.
8. Add Artistic Mirrors
Like bookshelves, more creative rectangular and circular mirrors are just some of the options on the market to make your home enjoyable. Tackle form and function by selecting the right mirror for your wall.
An ornate mirror can do wonders for any room, making it appear larger, reflecting more light and creating a focal point on its own or above a fireplace.
9. Feature a Roll Top Desk
You can use a vintage roll-top desk for more than just office work. These gorgeous desks were popular for workers in the 1800s but can now be excellent storage options or create a unique miniature dining area.
Look for these in thrift stores or vintage furniture websites. They are an excellent addition to any vintage or earth-toned design.
10. Create a Secret Storage Space
Using a roll-top desk is a unique storage solution. Hidden shelf compartments, bookshelf cabinets and fold-down storage are all great options when you have a lot of stuff but not much space. You can keep your floors clean and impress your guests with hidden compartments for toys, clothes and games all over your home.
These desks and other secret storage spaces also work well as hiding places for valuables you don’t want potential intruders to discover.
