When it comes to room makeovers there are ways to refresh rooms without having to get out the paint bucket. If you are painting or doing other construction it’s best to do the dirty work before decorating your home. But, that doesn’t mean waiting to plan your colors, designs and decor choices. Design and planning are key, bringing it all together when making home decor ideas or plans come together and look cohesive.

Decorating Ideas

Start fresh by making a design plan
Pick key colors. Coral is pantone’s color of the year but, if that’s too bold shoot for a lighter coral or pink. But, it’s key to pick colors you love, on trend or not.
Always have some neutral or natural elements in your home decor. These key pieces are your anchor. Mix in your favorite colors as accent pieces that are easier to swap out as the trends fade. (Nobody wants a dated look)
Swap out seasonal items, dated decor, or broken items for fresh new picks mixed in with the decor you have already
Pick your style; Examples casual meets classic, modern design, boho Or mix and match styles.

Before decorating your home it’s good to organize it

Don’t know where to start when it comes to decorating? Start by organizing your home, and make a design plan. I know a lot of us are in organizing mode. I am. It’s just the natural rhythm of tidying up for the year, and closing out last year. It helps you see where you can improve your home’s look and aesthetic.

Decorating Ideas for Living Room

Drape a throw you aren’t using, a string of hearts. string of fairy lights, or a seasonal banner on a decorative wood ladder.
Pretty throw blankets are a must in my house. We love how easy it is to swap out colors or use neutrals with throws. Go lighter for spring with a cotton linen throw blanket and still stay warm. Or add a touch of color with this cozy, plush, chenille throw blanket.
Various sized baskets are perfect for extra storage. Add toys, throws, or any like items together. White washed baskets like this are all the rage.
Use picture frames to update your home. Add a new decorative frame with a new or old photo.
Add texture and seasonal elements like this heart pillow. Don’t worry if pink isn’t your color there are other color choices for these pillows, and actually all the items listed.
Grab a vase and add filler with pops of color and scents. I love doing this it’s so easy!
