Revive Your Space With These Easy Home Decor Additions

Dining room hutch

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.

Home Zone Designer Furniture Dupes

What is a furniture dupe? It’s a piece of furniture that looks as good as an expensive designer item, but at a price that suits a more modest budget. By “dupe,” we don’t mean a cheap counterfeit or knockoff. Instead, we’re referring to well-designed, carefully constructed designer pieces that follow high-end concepts and styles to bring beautiful, trendy, or classic elements in quality materials into your home or workplace.

Home Zone always strives to create and sell affordable, value-for-money, robust, fashionable products. Our designer furniture and decor dupes, inspired by such aspirational brands as Arhaus, Pottery Barn, West Elm, Williams Sonoma, Crate & Barrel, and Restoration Hardware (RH), are desirable, durable, and affordable. 

Elevate Your Spaces With Designer Dupes From Home Zone

Enhance the look and feel of your spaces with professional interior design-worthy dupes. Our wide and appealing range is comparable to various top-designer styles. 

Jagger 

Home Zone’s elegant Jagger Black Frame Dining Height dining chair is as sleek and stylish as Arhaus’ Jagger Dining Armchair. Ours is modern, sophisticated, and available in attractive black or beige fabric for less than half the price.

Designed and built to reflect the beauty of RH’s Cayden Campaign, our charming Carmen selection includes an enviable bed, dresser, open and closed nightstands, chest, and coffee and end tables.

When you hear Cloud by RH, you probably think of lounging in feathery separates and sectional comfort.

How to Find Your Decorating Style

Decorating your home can be rewarding. Depending on the room, trends, style, and budget, it can also be challenging. Fortunately, Home Zone has hundreds of pieces of high-quality yet affordable home decor for your spaces in styles that suit all tastes. These include styles from modern or contemporary to traditional or bohemian. There’s also an array of styles in between, as diverse as coastal, industrial, and Art Deco. 

Decorating style is personal. Creating a harmonious, appealing, functional space takes thoughtful planning and a keen eye for items that complement your aesthetic. But what if you’re not sure about your style? Many of us have collected pieces we love, but may not have an overall theme. Distinctive styles can certainly go well together. However, it helps to focus on one or two to create cohesion.

We’re here to help. Consider the Home Zone team your coach — your guide to decorating welcoming, comfortable, and stylish living spaces. Let’s figure it out together.

Open Your Closet for Room Decor Style Clues

Popular interior designer and lifestyle blogger Emily Henderson was really onto something when she came up with the idea of coordinating your decorating style with your wardrobe. It just so happens that our fashion choices are closely related to the interior design and furnishings we adore. 

Start in your closet. Think about the jewelry you wear, your choice in bookends and home fragrance, the colors and textures you’re drawn to, whether you prefer solids or patterns, classic or modern styles, and let those ideas guide you.

Look for Trends in New Home Furnishings and Decorative Accessories

Next time you find yourself standing near a magazine rack, go ahead and flip through a few home design magazines. Which photos are you most drawn to? For example, a love for classic pieces with turned legs, tailored details, and heavier, old-world fabrics might indicate a more traditional taste. 

Your taste leans to modern if you prefer clean lines, sophisticated fabrics, and fashion-forward touches. You are transitional if you love giving traditional styles an unexpected, contemporary twist. At Home Zone, we have pieces to suit all these styles and more at fabulous prices — no dreaming necessary.

Click Around for Living Room Decor Inspiration

Numerous sites can help you home in on your style, if not with a quiz, by assisting you in selecting inspirational images that resonate with you. Pinterest is an excellent source. You can create boards for each style, each room in your home, or anything else you’d like. 

Other inspiring sites include Houzz, BHG, and HGTV. It’s easy to create a virtual scrapbook of styles you like, and the more you click around, the more specific types will naturally float to the top.

Ask a Friend for Insights Into Your Home Decor Style

Sometimes, we see ourselves differently than others do. You might see your style as a jumble of likes and dislikes, while your best friend or sister might know precisely how to define your style. Give it a shot — call your BFF and ask, “If you had to describe my style, what would you say?” You might be surprised!

Take a Vacation: Let Your Home Imagination Soar

When you step outside the real world, you may find yourself free to discover more about yourself. Imagine living anywhere in the world, in any type of home. Where would you live? What would your home look like? Find inspiration. Sure, you can’t live anywhere in the world, in any home you want. Still, you can draw inspiration from those daydreams to create spaces in your own home.

Visualize your refreshed spring home with a “designer” living room, dining room, bedroom, and bathroom, trying out various styles. Experiment with decorative objects such as throw pillows, elegant or boho candle holders, rugs, and wall decor, from wall art to picture frames and hangings. Try out different shades, patterns, and a floral print or two. Settle on what works and what doesn’t

Take Your Design Style to Home Zone Furniture

So, now you likely have a pretty good idea of what you like and don’t like for home decor. But if you’re still unsure, no worries — head to Home Zone and let our pros take care of you. We’ll show you how to incorporate our high-value, high-quality pieces into your home for a style that suits you perfectly.

Baby-Proofing Tips for New Parents

Has the stork recently paid a visit to your home? As you settle in with your new bundle of joy, it might be hard to believe they will soon be mobile and looking to get into trouble. It happens in the blink of an eye!

The mighty task of baby-proofing your home comes along with late nights, early mornings, and the exhausting joy of parenthood. Even if your baby is still a newborn, it’s never too early to start protecting them from potential household dangers, including an often overlooked hazard — your furniture. At the same time, making your home safer doesn’t mean sacrificing style. Follow these tips, and your furniture will be safe for a growing baby and as chic and attractive as ever!

Common Furniture Hazards and Solutions 

Beyond putting up baby gates, cover knobs, the bath faucet, and electrical outlets, install a toilet lock, barricade the fireplace, and put latches on drawers and cabinets. These measures ensure your furniture is baby-proofed. Making your living space items kid-friendly includes taking care of the following:

Add Covers to Sharp Corners

The sharp corners of tables are often at head height for toddlers once they get on their feet. Instead, cover and soften sharp corners with corner protectors to prevent head bumps. Alternatively, invest in a round table, such as our chic and classy Mena Dining Table, or one with kinder, rounded edges, similar to our versatile, extendible Slip Leaf Dining Height Table

Avoid Glass and Other Fragile Materials

Avoid concerns around breakable materials by replacing glass coffee, end, or dining room tables with a more robust metal or well-finished wood. These may be solid materials, but are available in kinder, safer designs. 

Anchor Large Furniture

You never know when large, unstable furniture might fall or collapse. Take the proper precautions and anchor all narrow-based furniture, such as bookshelves and dressers, to the wall.

Avoid Hard-to-Clean Fabrics

As little ones grow, spills and stains are inevitable. So, invest in high-performance fabric and upholstery that is stain-resistant and easy to clean. Examples include polyester, microfiber, or olefin (polypropylene). Alternatively, consider a natural leather sofa or a fabric sofa treated with stain repellents, such as cotton, linen, wool, or a blend.

Keep Danger Out of Reach

All that’s left is to consider what your little ones can grab with their hands. Adjust your draperies and blinds, and check that low-hanging window treatments are out of reach. Don’t forget to cut looped cords so your baby doesn’t get tangled up. Be sure to also look over your decor items and remove any breakable knick-knacks from tabletops. 

Once you’ve checked these tasks off your list, you’ll be able to relax (even just for a bit) and enjoy the new addition to the family. 

Why This Is the Perfect Time for a Furniture Refresh 

While busy baby-proofing their home, many parents discover that the easiest and safest solution is to replace their current lounge and dining room furniture with more suitable pieces. A refresh also means an opportunity to update the look of your living spaces with functional and stylish furniture singles and sets. 

These new choices could include a sturdy yet soft-edged sectional, separate couch, or sleeper sofa, occasional chairs, or a love seat with easy-to-clean upholstery, a solid wood coffee table and media center, and a durable round or round-edged dining room table and chairs. 

For example, consider Home Zone’s City Limits Sectional sofa. This contemporary modular design features thick, oversized cushions. The highly resilient chenille fabric is in a natural, neutral shade, perfect for any theme or color scheme, and gentle on babies. 

To protect precious heads from sharp bumps in the dining room, why not try our elegant round Mena Dining Table? Pair these fashionable pieces with chairs to match in a dining set or choose a different set of separates to create an exciting, eclectic look.

Complement your baby-safe sofa with one or more softly upholstered occasional chairs to add comfort and interest. Home Zone’s Mondo Chair in durable polyester is rounded and comfortable. You might also like a sturdy and stable coffee table and side tables, ideal for support when learning to stand. They’re also attractive, for example, our X Squared II Occasional coffee and end table set.
