How to add personality with home décor

Shopping for home accessories is on the ‘lighter side’ of home decoration adventures. While some practical considerations should be made with indoor decoration ideas, it should first and foremost be fun!

When shopping for bigger ticket items like furniture, practicality often has to come first. Taking a sofa, for example, we have to be sure it fits our budget and our living room—and has enough seats for the whole family. From there we consider things like fabric color and durability, and how well it will fit in with our existing living room furniture. It’s a purchase we don’t make often, so we have to be sure to get it just right.

When purchasing home decor, that level of consideration typically isn’t necessary! Once you’ve decided which types of home accessories you want and need for each room, you can enjoy browsing and picking whichever styles catch your eye.

Home decor accessories for every room

Your home is like your published diary, minus all the juicy secrets, of course. Maybe yours is colorful, collected and full of things you love. Maybe you like clean lines and minimalism. Or maybe you’re still figuring out what your space should say.

Either way, home décor gives you plenty of ways to tell your story, from the art you hang to the decor you put on display. And you don’t have to do it all at once. Start with one room, one wall or even just one piece that catches your eye.

Living room décor ideas

The living room is made for gathering, relaxing and giving your personality the mic. The trick to living room décor ideas? Create a space that feels collected over time, not decorated overnight.

Here are ways to personalize your living room décor:

• Wall art and posters: Show off what draws you in, such as bold art prints or posters that bring back candid memories.
• Vases: Fill your vases with real or artificial flowers, branches or nothing at all. Sometimes the vase itself is the statement piece.
• Candles: Add a soft glow to coffee tables, shelves, your TV stand or your bathtub (our candles are not waterproof though).
• Storage boxes: Keep everyday clutter where it belongs, but do so in style.

Bedroom décor ideas

Your bedroom is where comfort and personality get to share the same space. For you, that might mean soft layers with warm lighting, or colorful textiles and shelving with your most prized possessions.

So, where should you begin?

• Layer up the bed by mixing textures, colors and patterns.
• Light it your way with a bedside lamp or string lights.
• Put favorites on display like books, photos or your favorite rock collection.
• Make the walls part of your wind-down story with art that gives you peace of mind.
• Let storage organize and decorate with baskets, boxes or even storage benches at the foot of the bed.
• Add a mirror on the wall or behind a door for all those fit checks.

Home décor ideas for other areas of the home

And why stop at the rooms where you spend the most time? Smaller spaces can say plenty, too. Let your entryway make a first (and last) impression with a piece of abstract wall art or a unique coat rack. Add a long horizontal mirror to a hallway to give the space more depth. Use a pegboard in your home office to keep supplies within reach.

You see, that’s the fun with home accessories. There’s less of a right place and more of a right feeling. Choose the styles that speak to you, and personalize your home with just a few thoughtful additions.
