How to Decorate Your Home with Simple Things

Who said that home decoration should be tough? At Enjoy The Wood, we stick with the philosophy that beauty is in simplicity. Through simple and unobtrusive décor, you can create a naturally cozy and pleasant setting that radiates a great sense of harmony and style. To cut a long story, it is this point of view that brought us to today's topic. If you’re curious about how to decorate your home with simple things and stay sane, stay with us.

Create a Focal Point

The good news is that a simple house decor can be created with what you have! If the room calls for a natural attention-grabber, feel free to design it yourself. Get a pair of your favorite works of art (different sizes are OK), a mirror with a vintage frame, a poster, a couple of photos, and your kid’s most recent chef-d'oeuvre to create a focal point that attracts the eye.

Give New Purpose to Simple and Ordinary Items

Looking for cheap house decor ideas? Look around! There’s no doubt you will notice items in your home that you can easily repropose with minimum time and $ investment. For example, baskets, jars, or wooden crates can easily serve as adornment for your interior. You can transform a glass jar into a stylish candle holder or get a new side table that was a wooden crate just yesterday. How about adding a pinch of vintage? Grab a brush and paint and transform the look of old furniture instantly!

Showcase a Family History

wooden family tree is one of the easy ways to decorate your room and add a sentimental ambiance to the setting. Your family history is a nice thing to celebrate and turn into a heart-warming and sophisticated piece of décor. There are two ways to go. You can either purchase a new piece or create it yourself to adorn a dull wall and have a perfect conversation starter for guests.

Re-design the Coffee Table with Books

Are you a reading geek? We’re proud of you! It’s time to display your books and make them part of décor. Books, being one of the simple home decoration ideas, are not just your faithful guides to the world of one-of-a-kind plot twists but a convenient and easy way to showcase your passion. Pick some hardcover books of bright colors to decorate your home with what you have. Build a little tower on a coffee table to display eye-catching designs and add interest to the space.  

Use Throw Pillows

Chances are you have some textiles like blankets and pillows at home. Give them a second life by switching out pillow covers according to the Halloween (Boo!) or Christmas season or draping blankets over armchairs or/and sofas in order to carve out a cozy nook. Simple small home decor ideas can be found in the most unexpected things like wool or faux fur rugs, blankets, and other covers that make space feel warm and inviting while still adding a decorative touch.

Advance Office Supplies to a Higher League

Why not? If you’re obsessed with nice stationery, make sure others see your addiction! Whether it’s a cute girlie planner or a beautifully crafted leather notebook, use similar accessories to beautify your space with a dose of color.

Use Wallpaper…on the Ceiling

At EnjoyHome, we’re huge fans of non-standard solutions. That is why wallpapering the ceiling is on our list of easy home decorating ideas. If you’re seeking ways to add an unexpected boost to your interior, wallpaper on the ceiling will do the job. In order to allow this kind of décor to take center stage, make sure to keep the color palette of the room and furniture in neutral tones.  

Hang Photo Clip String Lights

Ok, ok, our photos and videos are all on our gadgets now. But you’re welcome to get a bit old-fashioned now and print out your favorite shots to display them using string lights and a bag of clips. Hang the illumination on the blank wall in the bedroom (above your bed, preferably) to add warmth and a sense of nostalgia to the setting.  

Use Nature, It’s Free!

One of the most affordable (and always available) ways to beautify your setting is connected with the Earth. Explore the outdoors to find items like rocks, flowers, dry leaves, and branches. Bring them home to add a touch of Mother Nature to your interior. If you have a nice (made of glass, preferably) vase, put a couple of branches in it. Get a bowl and fill it with shells or stones. If you are lucky to have a garden, pick some flowers to naturally display at home. Nothing compares with the organic and soothing feel that elements of nature add to any home.

Re-paint What You Already Have

Basically, this can be anything, from accessories and décor to accents and furniture. There’s no need to purchase something new – just pick the fancy paint and refresh items using your rampant imagination.

Show Your Personal Collection

When it comes to the living room, it’s a great space where the family enjoys get-togethers, relaxes, watches TV, or welcomes guests. Use this room to display your unique collections and provide your loved ones with something to discuss during family nights. Items like musical instruments, hats, plates, model cars, or anything else you happen to collect will 100% add an artistic touch to the environment.  

 

The easy decorating ideas above prove that adorning your home doesn’t require all the money in the world. Simple accessories like personal photos, your munchkin’s crafts, books, pillows, and wooden décor may help you transform your space and make it feel more finished and inviting. With the items you already have at hand, you’re welcome to experiment with the ways to refresh your home and make it feel (and look!) uniquely yours. Go for it!
