Weekend Project: Quick Decor Ideas

Karen Cooper

Want to change the look of your home, but don’t have time for a major redecoration project? No problem! Check out these great ideas for quick decor changes.

1. Create a Gallery Wall.

An easy way to change wall decor is to create a gallery wall. You can do this with any frames and photographs, art, or mirrors.

Use frames you have or grab some from a thrift store and paint them a unifying color for a bold statement.

2. Plates Aren’t Just for Dinner.

While we’re focused on wall decor, you can hang pretty plates on the wall for instant impact.

You don’t have to use fine china, either. There are some beautiful, colorful melamine plates at some big box stores that look like “real” plates and would brighten up a wall.

3. Add a Runner.

An easy way to change the look of a table is to add a runner. You can buy one, certainly, or you can make one with some fabric remnants:

4. Add Pops of Color.

As you can see, I love color. It’s easy to change the look of a room or piece of furniture with just a little paint or fabric.

I love how the turquoise painted table adds a pop of color to this space.

Or add a colorful area rug:

Add a bowl of lemons and limes for instant color on the table.

And flowers always brighten a space.
