Transforming your space doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive! With a few simple tweaks, you can create a fresh, new vibe that feels uniquely you. Ready to break free from that decor rut?
Need to give your home a quick facelift? Why not start with the very first thing you and your guests see when arriving at your home?
Changing the whole look of your home is often as easy as sprucing up your front door. Choose a color that sparks joy and makes your home stand out.
Make sure to use the correct type of paint for exterior surfaces, or you’ll end up with a peeling, chipping DIY disaster on your hands.
Want to jump on the gallery wall bandwagon without the commitment? You can use floating shelves like these to recreate the look.
This simple home decor DIY takes just a few minutes with the proper tools and supplies, and it can give your room a completely new look.
Once your shelves are installed (and level), you can prop up your favorite photos, prints, and knick-knacks. Switch them out whenever you want!
There’s really nothing simpler than picking out new curtains or blinds and putting them up in your home. And this small switchup can have a major impact.
Especially if you have large windows or sliding glass doors, changing the curtains can completely change the mood of the room.
Choose something slightly outside your comfort zone to really give your space a brand-new look. Think ruffles, floral patterns, and bright colors!
Lighting has a majorly underrated effect on a room’s vibe. If you’re still using the overhead light in your room, it’s time for an upgrade.
People all over social media are recoiling at the mere mention of a “big light,” which refers to built-in overhead lighting. It’s just not aesthetic.
Instead, carefully select lighting fixtures like tableside lamps and standing fixtures that bring the room together with soft, complementary lighting.
What’s even easier than hanging new curtains? Bringing in a new rug! Again, the secret to a brand-new space is often going slightly outside the norm.
Look for rugs that stand out while tying together your existing furniture and decor. Choose something bright, patterned, or uniquely shaped.
When incorporating a rug, make sure to choose the size that suits your space best. There’s an art to placing a rug in a room for the biggest impact.
If you don’t want to weigh down your windows with curtains or blinds, another option is window film. This quick DIY is perfect for bathroom windows, especially.
Window film is perfect for situations where you want to add some privacy to a window without completely blocking the light.
Add it to the whole window, or just to the bottom half to add just a touch more privacy. You can even use this film on interior glass, like cabinets!
If you want to change up your wall style but don’t want to commit to wallpaper or paint, temporary wallpaper might be just the think to spruce up your space!
Temporary wallpaper is just what it sounds like: wallpaper that isn’t permanent. That means you can take it down if you don’t like it or just want to try something new.
You can also use temporary wallpaper for small spaces, like as a backdrop for shelving or even as a mock bedframe. The possibilities are endless!
You might not be able to add windows to your home in a weekend, but you can do the next best thing: put up some mirrors to brighten up the space!
Mirrors act a lot like windows when you walk into a space, giving the illusion of a larger room without actually adding on square footage.
Hang mirrors in key areas, like over the couch. Try to place them perpendicular to windows so that they reflect some light back into the room.
When was the last time you really looked at the hardware on your cabinets? There’s no reason for it to be boring! Switch it up for a fresh look.
It’s easy to go by a hardware store and pick out knobs or pulls that match the aesthetic you’re looking for. But you could also go a more DIY route.
Visit an antique store to find vintage pulls, or craft some yourself using leather or fabric straps. It adds a rustic, welcoming vibe to your cupboards.
Yet again, it comes down to lighting. Some of the quickest refreshes for your home include tweaking the lighting in some way. What about dimmer switches?
Dimmer switches are actually pretty easy to install on your own, as long as you’re comfortable turning off the power to the switch. Safety first!
Make sure you also replace your light bulbs with dimming bulbs if you add a dimmer switch, or it won’t work. Cozy lighting, here you come!
Interior doors often get the short end of the stick when it comes to decorative touches. In newer homes, they’re often quite plain.
You can change all that with the simple installation of a trendy sliding barn door! Choose one with glass for a beautiful pantry door or repurpose a vintage piece.
You’ll need some power tools and some confidence to take on this particular weekend project, but it won’t take long, time-wise.
You can change the whole aesthetic of your kitchen by just replacing one or two of your cabinet door panels. Choose something that matches, but stands out.
For instance, you can introduce a paneled glass cabinet door with white trim to a kitchen with white cabinets. The key is matching hardware.
You can often find remnant cabinet doors at your local hardware stores or even at secondhand stores. Keep your eyes open for the perfect find!
Maybe you don’t want to take the dive into sliding barn doors, and that’s OK! You can still spruce up the doors inside your home over the weekend.
Switch out an interior door with something with glass panels or an interesting look. Search antique stores and online auctions for unique finds.
You can also DIY improve plain interior doors with just a few pieces of wood and some paint, as this reel shows. Show those doors some love!
Another often-neglected space that makes a big difference for your interior design is your staircases. Updated stairs can be just the trick for a fresh space.
Consider adding some metal balusters (those are the bars that go up and down) for an industrial look, or simply giving it a fresh coat of paint.
Step outside the standard white for your staircase banister, choosing something bold like black or navy blue. You can also add a carpet runner for extra flair!
Sure, small plants can make your space feel more earthy and welcoming. But if small plants are good, big plants can be even better!
Consider adding a super-sized plant to a neglected corner or a surface that doesn’t get used much. Choose a decorative pot or stand for it to sit on.
Bringing the nature indoors with a large plant can make your space feel more airy and less sterile. Plus, it’s good for your air quality!
Even easier than replacing a kitchen cabinet door with a new panel is replacing it with a simple curtain. Cabinet curtains are peak cottage-core decor.
Choose a piece of fabric with an aesthetic print or unique texture, and hang it up in place of the cabinet panel. It’s as easy as that!
You’ll want to use a small dowel or curtain rod to hang the curtain so that you can slide it open and closed as needed.
Ceilings are often the last thing we think of when it comes to quick DIY projects that make a major impact, but they’re truly the unsung heroes.
Imagine the space pictured above with a plain, white ceiling. Not very inspiring or welcoming. Adding the mustard-yellow ceiling brings it all together.
You can bring the ceiling color down onto the walls for a color-blocking feel that makes it look more intentional. Be bold!
If there’s just one piece of furniture you’d like to refresh this weekend, consider your bathroom vanity or an old end table.
All you need to make the piece look like new is some dowel rods, wood glue, and paint. Dowel rods can give drawers a fresh, mid-century-modern look.
You’ll also need a way to cut the dowels to size, unless you’re lucky enough to find them in the exact length you need. From there, it’s easy-peasy.
Adding a pop of color inside your shelving nooks can create a striking visual effect that transforms your space. Choose a bold hue that complements your existing decor.
Or, you could go for a soft pastel for a more subtle touch. Painting the inside of your shelves not only highlights your favorite items but also adds depth and dimension to the room.
Whether you’re showcasing books, plants, or decorative pieces, this simple update will breathe new life into your shelves and make your space feel refreshingly stylish.
Throw pillows are the unsung heroes of home decor. They can instantly change the look and feel of your space without breaking the bank!
For a quick summer refresh, for instance, swap out your current throw pillows for ones with brighter, bolder patterns. Think vibrant florals, beachy stripes, or tropical prints.
Mix and match different textures like linen, cotton, and even a bit of fringe to add depth and interest. Don’t be afraid to play with color; now is the perfect time to be bold.
