Perhaps your home decor is beginning to look a bit “dated” and “over familiar” and you’re looking for a way to change things up. Or maybe, you’re happy with your setup in general, but need a few fresh ideas to complete the look that you’ve worked so hard to create. It’s time to change your home decor (and maybe your home). Below, we offer five interesting home decor ideas that can brighten up your home and enhance its uniqueness.

1. Create a Family Photo Gallery

Every home is a place where memories are made, and every home should have a wall where those memories are put on display. Family members at various ages, life stages, and special times together during holidays, or other various events, should be included.

But also, don’t forget about adding photos of your pets to that wall. Didn’t you notice that quizzical stare from Fido that seems to say, “Where is my picture? I’m part of the family too.” You can change that look to sheer joy by using Instapainting to get your mailed-in pet photo turned into an oil painting, watercolor work, or pencil sketch by a professional artist.

2. Eliminate Clutter (but not your stuff)

More storage space is always needed, no matter how much you already have, it seems. Finding creative ways to utilize existing space will keep your home looking uncluttered without the need to get rid of your valuables or to tackle an expensive add-on construction project.

Use tall bookcases to efficiently utilize vertical space and make your rooms look taller and less cramped. Build in roll-out shelves under all your beds. Turn that triangular space below your stairwell into a closet.

3. Green Up Your Interiors

“Going green” can mean more than reduce, reuse, recycle. It can also mean decorating your interior spaces with living plants and flowers. A bamboo shoot growing in a fountain, a palm leaf planted in an over-sized clay vase, or a useful, as well as aesthetically pleasing, herb garden flourishing by your window sill will make your home feel alive and “at one” with nature.

4. Add “Fake” Architectural Detail

You can transform a flat wall into one with the appearance of architectural depth without any expensive renovations. With just masking tape and a paint brush, you can add horizontal or vertical lines and patterning that will make your room look bigger and more ornate. Add a little molding, easily painted and nailed on, and the effect is even stronger.

5. Invest in Some “Cane Art” Pillows and Rugs

The strikingly bold patterns of cane art are a new and growing trend. You may not want to overdo it, but a few cane throw pillows on your sofa or a cane-style area rug in just the right spot will add a creative and stunning touch.

What About a Change of Scenery?

If you are looking for a new location at which to employ your home decor ideas, why not consider a luxury level apartment, like carmelapartments.com/15-cliff, in an iconic neighborhood, such as New York’s Financial district?

Another alternative is Denver’s DTC (Denver Tech Center). The indoor and outdoor amenities, the spacious rooms, the upscale ambiance, top of the line appliances and the quick access to many of Denver’s most iconic landmarks through www.carmelapartments.com/pearl-dtc-denver-co make DTC a prime option.

After all, sometimes changing up the home decor just isn’t enough. Sometimes you need a whole new and totally different home to creatively decorate.
