3 Decor Features to Liven Up Your Home

Unless you have professional training in interior home design, figuring out how to decorate your home can be rather overwhelming. It’s not so much what furniture to purchase and where to place it, but rather what décor items to use that pull the space together and give it life. If your home is looking like a blank slate despite your best efforts, it could probably benefit from some specific décor features.

Here are three décor features that will liven up your home and ensure it doesn’t look like a blank slate devoid of personality.

Mirrors Can Do Wonders for a Home

Did you know that one of the most versatile décor pieces that interior designers use are mirrors? Mirrors can be used in any room of the home and can accomplish several things at once. They can help bring light to a room, give the illusion of added space, add sophistication and elegance, and provide a practical function.

When shopping for a mirror, a good tip is to go as big as possible. Oversized mirrors will have a significant presence in your home, so go ahead and play it up.

Windows Can Offer a Fabulous Canvas for Artwork

How many times have you peered out your windows without giving them a second thought? Did you know that you can transform them into pieces of art thanks to window stickers? Applying window art stickers instantly elevates not just the look of the window but the entire room. You can opt for something delicate and small, or go big and bold with large stickers for windows that cover the whole thing.

As for what the best stickers for windows are, it comes down to personal preference. And as a bonus, these window stickers can also provide a sense of privacy. Applying them is quick and easy, and doesn’t take any sort of DIY knowledge. 

Style Bookshelves to Look Like Built-Ins

You’ve probably seen homes in decor magazines with lovely high-end built-in shelves. Built-in shelves give character to the room and can help with organisation. While there is nothing wrong with going all out and having custom built-ins put into your home, this can be quite expensive. A more cost-effective solution can be to use bookcases.

Think in terms of how built-ins look. Typically they run across an entire wall, so you need to purchase enough bookcases to line the wall. Each one should be anchored on the wall so you don’t have to worry about tipping.

Bookcases can of course be great for storing all your prized books, but they are also ideal for displaying artwork and other décor.

Each of these tips is relatively easy to use, and yet they all have a huge impact on the space. By the time you’re done with your décor additions, your home will look like something straight out of a décor magazine. Your home doesn’t need to remain the dull blank space it is today; with just a little creativity, you can change things.
