Hello Friends,
Up your decorating cred with these
pro tips for styling forgotten spaces. Whether you add decor to a dreary bookshelf or
spruce up your pantry, these decorating ideas are guaranteed to add fresh style
to every area of your home.
Bookshelf
A bookshelf isn't just for stashing your favorite
reads—it's the perfect spot to add personal touches. Nestle photos, keepsakes,
knickknacks, and even small plants between books. This bookshelf alternates
between vertical and horizontal stacks for added style.
Toy Corner
A child's play area shouldn't be boring. Integrate bright
pops of color and fun patterns to wake up the space. This nook features a pink
chair, yellow lamp, and friendly polka-dot wall decals. The look is subtle
enough that it can be changed easily as the child ages.
Coffee Table
Coffee tables are prone to clutter. After all, they're
located in one of the busiest rooms in the home. Replace stacks of magazines
and unsightly remotes with pleasing decor. This sleek coffee table features
a trio of pretty (yet practical) items: books, a serving tray, and fresh
flowers.
Behind Doors
Styling the narrow space behind doors can be tricky—but the
look is well worth the effort. Stick to narrow pieces that won't block the door
when it opens. Try an ornate mirror or small shelf, and remember to utilize the
floor space. This mock entryway uses baskets and an umbrella holder for stylish
storage.
Home Bar
Whether you're working with a bar cart or a
built-in wet bar, it's easy to display a few bottles and call it good. Instead,
use your bar (and surrounding areas) as a spot to infuse colorful details. Look
for fun statement pieces—like this bar's funky wall art, lamp, and
eclectic rug—as well as smaller touches, like bold dish towels and
stemware.
Computer Desk
Get the best of both worlds with a well-decorated desk that's
also functional. Keep office essentials nearby, but pay attention to how
they're displayed. This space uses a patterned cube to hold writing utensils
and whale-shaped bookends to store literature. Other accessories, like a giant
marquee letter and distressed desk chair, add vintage
character.
Nightstand
The trick to nightstand decor? Keep it simple.
Find pieces that are pretty and practical—like a decorative vase or a unique table lamp—then
add one or two personal touches. Bring the look full circle with statement wall
art.
Bathing Space
You spend time in your bath or shower every day, so why not
decorate it? Consider a gallery wall that matches your color scheme, like
this bathroom's collection of neutral artwork. Add an extra dash of style by
ditching the plastic and stashing bathroom must-haves in clear glass containers.
Mudroom
A mudroom can become a dumping ground for kids' stuff all
too easily. Store smarter with space-saving pieces that double as decor, such
as this room's slim basket and bookshelf. Then add interest with wall
art or a colorful rug.
Baker's Station
Whether you prefer a rustic baker's hutch or a traditional china
cabinet, you can use the piece to store your dishware in style. The key is to
avoid overwhelming the space. Don't try to fit an entire set of china on one
rack or shelf, but do consider alternate solutions, such as hanging teacups on
the wall. Then add little touches to create contrast among the dishes, like
this rack's starfish and fresh greenery.
Pantry
It's easy to hide behind closed doors. Try this idea
instead: Treat your pantry like it's out in the open and consider installing a
fun wall treatment, like this gorgeous subway tile surround. Keep
smaller items in check by storing dry goods in clear glass containers
and displaying cookbooks on open shelves.
Laundry Room
Keep your laundry room fresh with a variety of fun patterns
in the same color scheme. This room took a black and white approach,
incorporating the scheme in everything from the tile and wallpaper to
the ironing board. Add a pop of color for visual interest. https://goo.gl/ml5Heh
