Home Decor

 

We are coming up on three years in our home, and I’m feeling that itch to move again. I’ve moved seven times in the last fourteen years, and have learned that any space can feel like home. Your home tells a story and reflects who you are, and is where you want to relax at the end of a long day. Give me a room with good natural light, ideally great architectural design (the older the better), some great window treatments, and the right area rug, and I’ll fill it with furniture and pieces that make it feel warm and inviting. Rugs & decor go such a long way. From your home office to a bedroom and even a laundry room, these home decor accents will elevate any space. 

 

The Best Home Decor and Accents to Elevate Your Space

 

When decorating my home, I prefer neutral color palettes for larger pieces, and then bring in some color and texture with the right accents. Bright colors don’t work for me, personally – I love bringing in blues, greens, and neutrals. The key is choosing pieces that spark joy, remind you of special moments, or simply make you feel at home. Most people can’t afford to hire interior designers, but decor doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s not about the best kitchen trends or having the perfect living space. It’s about giving a space life, and making it feel like you. Here are 50+ of the best home decor ideas and accents that will help make your house feel like home. 

 

Where to Start

When decorating any room, whether it’s a large family room or a smaller space like a half bath, figure out a focal point, like a pice of furniture, art, or mirror, and work your way around it. Add in a favorite book, and add a tray or design object on top. Light fixtures, vases, photo frames, and ginger jars add so much life to shelves, nightstands & bedside tables. The little things really are a simple solution to make a space feel finished. Those small design details really do make a big impact.

I love the look of cozy country houses, mixed with a few modern touches. It’s not about furniture trends – I like to choose classic pieces that I won’t tire of. Our dining table, and most of our dressers are antique, and I prefer that to my home looking like a store catalog.I always like to find at least one piece from a local antique shop or thrift store, and have at least one vintage piece of furniture in most rooms in my home. 

For small rooms, consider a fresh coat of paint, stick to a color scheme, and add the right pieces. Picture frames, throw pillows, vases, and meaningful objects, are the best way to make a house feel like home. I try not to get caught up in interior design trends, and instead, choose pieces I love.
