Does your home need a decor refresh just in time for summer? Enliven key rooms in your home in no time with these quick, easy additions. A fresh coat of paint or a rearranged coffee table, new colorful or interesting soft furnishings — these home decor ideas will make your house feel new and improved for this season and beyond.
The Perfect Paint
Use the power of paint to refresh your home from the inside out. Try a bright, cheerful coat of paint on a door or doorframe for instant glamour. Other surprising, interesting places to try a new color include the mantel, the kitchen cabinets, or even bookshelves.
Rely on earthy neutrals such as terracotta, sage green, and deep blue to calm and ground a space, or bold accents to add depth and personality, or even warm, rich metallics to introduce a touch of glamour. Stick to one color on walls, ceilings, and trim for immersive cohesion.
Entryway Essentials
If your entryway isn’t already decorated, it’s the perfect place to start as you spice up your space. The entryway informs a guest’s first impression of your home and sets the tone for the rest of the house.
Experiment with a fun, printed rug or a decorative side table topped with a fresh flower arrangement to refresh your entry area. Nothing reflects spring and summer — or welcomes family and friends — quite like fragrant, beautiful blooms.
Welcoming Wall Decor
Empty walls can look and feel stark and sterile. Instead, why not add interest and color with wall decor? Wall art is always attractive, drawing the eye and stimulating the mind and imagination. Artwork can include paintings, photographs, wall sculptures, or fabrics.
You can also hang wall shelves to display art pieces, treasured photos in beautiful or fun picture frames, or your favorite books between stylishly modern, vintage, or eclectic boho bookends. Of course, don’t forget the magic of mirrors when decorating walls.
Mirror Image
Mirrors of any size and shape are an effective way to bring new life to your home. Hang a decorative, circular mirror over the mantel as a centerpiece or a large, floor-length mirror in a small room to visually expand the space. Instead of using an empty wall for art, you could hang mirrors of various sizes in a gallery-style installation.
Luxe Lighting
A fabulous light fixture is an inspiring way to dress up an otherwise dull room. Choose a light fixture proportionate to the space you’re working in. As for style, you’ll want something that stands out yet matches the existing aesthetic. Hang a small, charming chandelier in a powder room or laundry room for a touch of glamour. Install a pair of rustic antique sconces on either side of your traditional mantel for a beautiful combination of styles, or include a floor lamp in your floor plan.
Love Layers
In the living spaces and the bedroom, why not master the art of soft, stylish layering with throw blankets? Add color, texture, and coziness with thoughtfully placed throw pillows. From pale to bold, funky to floral, smooth to softly ribbed or bobbled, these versatile, affordable home decor accessories are easily switched as seasons, themes, and color schemes change.
Styled Surface
Sometimes, a simple rearrangement can make a world of difference. Rearrange an entire room to give yourself a new perspective on a space if you feel up for a challenge. Alternatively, settle for an expertly styled surface.
In the living room, top your coffee table with a decorative tray filled with a few coffee table books, candles in chic or charming candleholders, and a vase of fresh flowers. Try a wide, shallow bowl filled with oranges or citrus fruits in the kitchen. The color and fragrance will certainly lighten the mood of any passerby.
