Moving furniture in is only part of making your place feel like home. Once you have the big pieces, it’s time to add personal touches. Your sofa, dining set, and bed are just the beginning. Now, focus on details that make the space truly yours. Not sure where to start? We asked our interior designers and home stagers for simple decorating tips to help turn your house into a home.
Display picture frames with family photos around your home
Add a personal and homey feel to your place by surrounding yourself with pictures of loved ones. Skip the expense of tons of frames by using binder clips or using washi tape. These fun alternatives create stylish photo displays without damaging rental walls. It’s an easy and budget-friendly tip to help decorate your apartment.
Create centerpieces for your tables
Centerpieces aren’t just for special occasions like weddings or fancy dinners. They offer an easy way to add style and personality to any room. Simple items like candles, fresh flowers, or books can create eye-catching focal points. Don’t stop at one room—try adding a centerpiece to your coffee table or your bedside table for a stylish touch.
Add throw blankets and pillows to your sofa, accent chair and bed
Let’s get cozy! Not only will plush pillows and soft blankets make you want to get cozy on the couch. These pieces will also add color and texture to your space, especially if your furniture is made up of neutral tones.
Incorporate whimsical accessories that reflect your unique personality
Do you love comics? What about the ocean? Maybe music is your jam (pun intended). Find things that speak to you and spread them throughout your house. Check out thrift stores or hit up garage sales in your area–both are great places to pick up fun and unique decor items. Bookends make great accent pieces without being too dominating. Or try cutting up images from magazines and old calendars to create a gallery wall.
