Designing a beautiful home doesn’t always require a professional touch! You can DIY your home decor without breaking the budget. In this post, Jennifer shares her favorite tips for creating a home that suits you and your style perfectly. 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.
