Top Home Decor Ideas For a Neutral Or Colorful Home
So whether your room is a blazing red, a cool blue, or anything in between, consider decorative objects such as pottery, jewellery, rugs, throws or pillows to add touches of colour. Be mindful of how these objects are placed to create an unstressed, balanced effect.
To increase your space visually, add multipurpose pieces such as this storage ottoman – it can serve as a coffee table and footstool in one – and tall plants or shelves might help it feel a bit larger, too.
Plants
A room is not complete without greenery – whether it be that plant’s colour, texture, or cleaning the air we breathe by utilising it as a filter for toxins. But, also for the first time in history, you don’t have to be a green thumb to incorporate plants into your decor. Your local home goods store should carry them in any size, from tiny terrariums that can festoon a bookcase, to massive statement pieces – they can help to commemorate Mother’s Day, and there is one suited to your taste.
To banish the showroom effect, add photo tiles, custom pillows with family photos or unique linens that display special memories – another quick, inexpensive, budget-friendly way to customise a room and give it some personal pizzazz.
Statement Pieces
Your statement decorations then become the visual and emotional centres of your interiors, providing graphic interest as well as helping you communicate who you are and tell a unique story about who lives there. Select pieces that say the most about you – bright colours or interesting textures, for example, or pieces of furniture that draw the eye.

Remember to choose statement pieces that attract the attention of the eye, but won’t compete with, let’s say, a row of mirrors, which you can use in small spaces to bounce natural light around the room; or some shelves for a favourite collection of books or other objects. Secondly, avoid too much matchy-matchy furniture. Intentionally mismatched decor is what gives a room character and zing, and helps make it feel complex, with just the right amount of sophistication that’s infectiously expressive – an unforgettable space ultimately, quintessentially yours.
Cozy Seating
A functional living room is a comfortable resting place. Opt for well-cushioned furniture, be it woven wood or velvety cushions, and mix earth hues like browns, taupes and soft greys as accent colours so that your space is warm and comforting – these colours can help you de-stress and rest easy (very appropriate for a family room).
Organic shapes and materialities can also be key, so think about incorporating natural fibre rugs, wooden coffee tables or leafy greenery into your cosy decor ideas to stimulate feelings of familiarity and cosiness in a room.
Bold hues can spruce up any living room and give it cosiness. Place sapphire blue, emerald green and playful magenta into your decorating scheme to get a stylish look. Then, add in some neutrals to bring visual balance to your scheme.
Blanket Ladder
Or multifunction jewellery? Blanket ladders are basically everything rolled into one: they are first and foremost decorative home accessories; secondly, they help keep blankets/quilts/throws/blankets-in-the-plural/whatever-other-thing-you-want-to-store neat and tidy; they are also handy as plant trellises; but also useful in an entry way, hanging up hats/scarves/bags: indispensable.
Ladder decor runs the gamut from contemporary to rustic to suit any decor theme or aesthetic you might be striving for – and there’s room for playful layering of texture. Layer sherpa or faux fur on top and over each other, with plaid throws thrown in for good fall style measure.
Tuck a ladder into a bedroom to hang belts, ties and jewellery; in an entryway, you could have hooks for your keys and bags, or around the holidays for garland and stockings. If you’re using a garland with your ladder, make sure that the tree and ladder are well secured and safe! Replace blankets with the seasons with a blanket ladder you can move easily anywhere you go.
