5 Unusual Ways to Decorate Your Home
Decorating your home can be fun but what if you want something different that reflects your personality? Your home should reflect who you are, so here are some ways you can change your space to make it more like you.
Love of Vintage
Vintage items do not have to be old and sad looking. Vintage is not the same as antique, but they often get confused. An antique is over 100 years old, a vintage item is less than 100 years old but older than 20 years old. This means anything from the 1920s to the late 1990s is considered vintage. Dig out those old items you had around the house as a kid and raid your parent’s attic for their old art prints because they are all coming back into fashion.
Tiles Everywhere
The wooden floor may have made a comeback and carpet is only acceptable in the bedroom, but what about walls? Painting and wallpaper have become a chore that no one wants to keep doing, but what is the alternative? Wall tiles! This might sound like a lot, but wall tiles are the fastest growing trend for your home, especially if you have small children. Not only are they easy to clean, but they also come in a variety of designs that rival any other wall covering.
Added Storage
Storage is one of those things that everyone likes to talk about, but how are you supposed to add more storage in your home? Changing certain items in your house can help create more storage options. For example, if you have a standard coffee table, you could upgrade it to a table with drawers to pop your crafting gear inside. Or adding a vanity to the bathroom around the sink can give you space to hide all of your cosmetics.
Lean into a Theme
If you have a theme in mind for your home, or you really enjoy a certain interest, there is no reason why you can’t show this off in your home. If you love history and the Romans are the most interesting thing on earth to you, add touches of Roman lifestyle to your home with columns and busts. If you enjoy baking, add some cupcakes around the house or some cute wall art. It doesn’t have to be in your face and bold, but little touches about the place can help show off a different side to you.
Statement Lights
If you are unsure of how a light fixture can change a room, just imagine a 1970s disco with a string bulb instead of a disco ball. Changing the light fixtures can be a pricey jib but it can be worth it. Lights come in many spaces and sizes, so it is easy to find the perfect statement piece for your rooms. Just remember, if you do invest in a statement piece, you may need to invest in some lamps so you can read or craft. Unfortunately, feature lights tend to look pretty but they can lack functionality.
