Decorating your home is easy—here are 5 super easy ways to decorate your living room effortlessly!
5 Super Easy Ways to Decorate a Living Room
1. Use Pinterest:
– Pinterest isn’t just for dinner recipes; it’s a treasure trove of home decor ideas.
– Create boards for each room you want to design, pinning beautiful room images for inspiration.
– Identify a consistent look by scrolling through your pins, discovering what truly draws your eye.
2. Houzz Rocks!:
– Create a Houzz account to collect house pictures you love, similar to Pinterest.
– Add favorite items to an ‘idea book’ for easy reference, including room pictures and product links.
– Unlike Pinterest, Houzz is focused on home remodeling, offering articles, inspiration, and links to recommended contractors.
3. Declutter the Unnecessary:
– Create a beautiful home by letting go of things you don’t love; declutter using the 6-Week Declutter Challenge.
– Clear your space before building a cohesive decor using items you truly want and need.
– Avoid buying items on clearance for the sake of it; choose quality, neutral pieces over seasonal decor.
4. Use The Confident Designer!:
– Explore the new Confident Designer, a book by Tiffany Wynohradnyk of Dream, Design, & DIY.
– Gain fail-proof tips on choosing color palettes, mixing colors and patterns, selecting pieces of the correct scale, and mastering space planning.
5. Finally, Love Your Space, Not Someone Else’s:
– Avoid falling into a comparison trap; not everyone needs shiplap and farmhouse style.
– Embrace what makes you happy—whether it’s modern, eclectic, or your unique style.
– Create a space that’s easy to adapt and change according to your preferences, not trends dictated by HGTV.
Don’t force yourself into a comparison trap when decorating your home living room. Embrace your unique style, love your space, and create a home that reflects your taste and preferences. Contact Jennifer Lillie, REALTOR®, with any real estate-related questions at jen@jenlillie.com or 574-286-9667.
