Pinterest has become a hub to everything crafty, flashy or decorative, and a go-to source for inspiration on how to design and decorate a dream home. We’ve completed a list of 10 popular home decorating tips to try in your home right from the source- Pinterest.
Decorate With Mirrors
Mirrors not only help to make the room feel bigger, but they can also be used as in, on or around furniture to provide a more luxurious feeling.
Go Contemporary Farmhouse
We see this style featured everywhere on Pinterest and highlighted on shows like Joanna and Chip Gaines’ Fixer Upper. The farmhouse/ rustic-chic look is in, and you can easily implement it by incorporating imperfect, scratched-up wood furniture and vintage antique pieces or signs into a room.
Repurpose & Re-use
Nowadays, you can get away with just about any look and style of furniture. Repurposing different functional objects into home pieces has become a hot trend. From refashioning wooden crates into shelving units to making coffee tables out of wood pallets, the possibilities are endless to create really unique pieces for your home.
Incorporate Industrial
What was once considered scrap metal or garbage can now be repurposed into a creative conversational piece. Many people are now reusing industrial pieces like piping for shelving or shop lights for unique chandeliers to add a unique twist to a room.
Add Wall Murals
Can’t decide on which picture or piece of art to hang on the wall? Now you don’t have to. Murals are one of the biggest trends in the home decor world, allowing you to show off your personality, family pictures, antiques and word art in a fun, eye-catching way.
Mix Textures
Mixing up the textures of your furniture, pillows and bedding adds a lot of dynamics to a room, also creating a cozy retreat for visitors. Try mixing different textures like fur, corduroy, ribbing knitting and leather to create a Pinterest-worthy room.
DIY Your Decor
If there’s anything to be gleaned from Pinterest, it’s that DIY is sometimes the best way. You can create everything from simple, functional elements for your home to major statement pieces and furniture with a little elbow grease.
Renew With Paint
Paint can go a long way. Not only can it give an old piece of furniture a completely new look, it can save you some major bucks on certain home remodels, like renewing your kitchen cabinets instead of replacing them to get the look you’re going for.
Flaunt Your Bright Colors
Vibrant colors and bold patterns are in. If you’re not one for rocking the style-boat much, try switching out your throw pillows for something brighter. Or if you’re ready to make a statement, patterns walls (i.e. stripes) or brightly-painted furniture will quickly give you the look.
Invest in Your Kitchen
If there’s one thing we’ve learned about home decor as Realtors®, we know that the kitchen is one of the most crucial parts of the home, and Pinterest fans are agreeing. If you have some stored up funds and plan on upgrading your home soon, the kitchen is a great place to invest in not only because it’s a popular social gathering location but it also adds value to your home.
Elevate With a Backsplash
A simple backsplash can change the whole look of a kitchen or bathroom. Now they even make tiles that come in square sets, that you can simply just stick onto the wall and get the same look for less!
