1. Go with a theme

When you’re decorating a space, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of decor and design options.

To help you hone in on a look, try going with a theme.

Whether you’re going for a boho, beachy, or vintage theme, this will help you narrow down your decor options and keep your space looking cohesive.

2. Arrange a photo wall

Ah, the classic photo wall. If you haven’t already jumped on this trend, now is the time! This is a great way to personalize your space and show off your favorite memories.

To create a photo wall, you can either hang framed photos or use a fun tapestry or wall decal.

Then, all you need to do is arrange your photos in a way that looks cute.

You can keep it simple by using all the same size photos, or you can mix and match different sizes and shapes.

You can also add in some cute little decorations to make it more fun!

3. Add a splash of color

If you’re not a fan of the all-white aesthetic, feel free to add a little color to your decor. A pop of color can liven up a space and make it feel more inviting.

You can add color through artwork, throw pillows, vases, or other decorative accessories. Just be sure to choose a color that complements the rest of your decor.

4. Mix patterns

Pattern mixing is a great way to add visual interest to your space. It’s important to find a balance between the patterns so they don’t compete with one another.

A good rule of thumb is to mix one large pattern with a few smaller ones.

In this room, we have a large pattern on the wallpaper, a medium pattern on the rug, and a small pattern on the throw pillows.

5. Give your furniture a makeover

If you’re feeling bold, completely change the look of a room by painting your furniture.

You can go for a vintage look with a distressed paint job or go for a sleeker look with a solid color.

We love how this vintage chest of drawers was given a modern twist with a coat of soft pink paint.

The contrast with the white walls and the gold hardware makes this piece the focal point of the room.

6. Add a pop of color

If you’re a fan of minimalism, you may have a lot of white and neutral decor in your home.

While that’s a great look, adding a pop of color can really make a space come alive.

You don’t have to add a ton of color to make a big difference.

Even just a few bright throw pillows or some colorful wall art can make a space feel fresh and fun.

7. Mix things up

One thing I love about the aesthetic style is that it’s not confined to one specific look. It can be a mix of styles and elements that you love.

For example, in my bedroom, I have a mix of vintage, boho, and modern elements.

It’s all about finding decor that you love and mixing it in with whatever you have.

Don’t be afraid to mix styles and colors. If you love it, it will work!

8. Get creative with your wall decor

When it comes to wall decor, the options are truly endless.

To give your space a unique look, try mixing and matching different pieces to create a gallery wall.

You can use a variety of items, such as framed art, photographs, mirrors, and more.

If you’re looking for a more minimalist approach, you can try hanging a single large piece of art or a tapestry.

This can help create a focal point in the room and give your space a more curated look.

9. Add some greenery

Houseplants are a great way to bring color and texture into a room.

Not only do they add a natural aesthetic, but they also help to purify the air in your home.

If you don’t have a green thumb, you can still add some low-maintenance plants to your space.

Succulents, snake plants, and pothos are all great options for beginners.

You can also add some faux plants to your space to get the look without the upkeep. Just be sure to dust them regularly so they don’t look too fake.

10. Create a cozy reading nook

Transform an empty corner of your bedroom or living room into a cozy reading nook.

Start by adding a comfy chair and a side table to hold your books, a reading lamp, and a cup of tea.

Then, layer in some cozy elements like a soft throw blanket and a few plush pillows. Top it off with some wall art and a small area rug to define the space.

11. Give your bedroom a makeover

Your bedroom should be a place that feels like a sanctuary.

When you walk in, you should immediately feel calm and at peace. If your bedroom doesn’t feel like that, it may be time to give it a little makeover.

Adding in some of the decor ideas we’ve already talked about, like a wall of art or a cozy reading nook, can really elevate your bedroom’s aesthetic.

You can also go for a minimalist look with soft, neutral colors, or you can go all out with a bright and bold aesthetic.

The great thing about decorating your bedroom is that you can make it totally your own. Add in all the things you love, and make it a place you’re excited to come home to.

12. Add some personality to your bathroom

Bathrooms are often overlooked when it comes to decorating, but you don’t have to settle for a boring space.

Add some personality to your bathroom with a bold wallpaper, a fun shower curtain, or some colorful towels.

If you’re not ready to commit to a big change, try adding some decorative storage like a cute basket or some open shelving.

13. Get creative with your lighting

Proper lighting can make or break an aesthetic space.

Create a cozy and inviting atmosphere by incorporating various lighting options throughout your home.

Hang string lights or a statement chandelier in your bedroom, use a table lamp on your nightstand, and place a floor lamp in the corner of the room.

This will give you the option to adjust the lighting based on the time of day and your mood.

Add wall sconces to your living room to create a warm and welcoming space.

This will also give you the option to turn off the overhead lights and create a more intimate atmosphere.

Pro tip: Use smart light bulbs and light strips to create a customizable lighting experience in your home.

14. Add some color to your kitchen

If your kitchen is feeling a little boring and uninviting, try adding some color to the space.

A few simple pops of color can really liven up a room and make it feel more fun and trendy.

You can add color to your kitchen in so many different ways.

You could add a colorful rug, paint your cabinets, add some colorful appliances, or even just add some colorful decor to your countertops.

I love the way that the color was added to this kitchen.

The blue cabinets are so fun and trendy, and I love the way that the blue rug ties the whole room together.

15. Add some personality to your living room

If you’re looking to create a space that’s truly unique, don’t be afraid to mix and match your decor.

This living room features a variety of colors, patterns and textures, but it all comes together to create a cohesive look.

The key to making this work is to make sure that you have a few common elements that tie everything together.

In this case, the pink and blue color scheme is found in the rug, the throw pillows, the artwork and the curtains.

The result is a living room that feels vibrant and full of life.

16. Get creative with your storage

Storage is a necessity in any home, but it can be a bit of an eyesore—especially if you have a lot of it.

If you’re tired of looking at plastic bins and cardboard boxes, it may be time to get creative with your storage solutions.

Incorporate vintage trunks, woven baskets, and decorative boxes to store your things in style.

You can also use your storage as an opportunity to bring in more color and pattern to your space.

17. Add some personality to your entryway

Your entryway is the first thing you see when you get home, so why not make it a fun and welcoming space?

We love the idea of adding a bold wallpaper to your entryway or a fun pop of color.

You can also add a statement mirror, a colorful rug, or even a fun piece of art to make your entryway feel more like you.

18. Get creative with your office decor

If you work from home, you know how important it is to make your office space a place you want to spend time.

You can do this by creating a space that is both functional and beautiful.

Use a color palette that makes you feel inspired and add in some personal decor items to make it feel like your own.

A few plants can also help to make your office feel more inviting.

19. Add some personality to your kids’ rooms

If you’re feeling like your kids’ rooms are a bit too basic, or if you just want to add some personality to the space, consider adding a decorative wall mural.

There are so many options to choose from, so you can definitely find one that fits your kids’ style.

Plus, you can keep the rest of the room simple and let the mural be the focal point.

I love how this room has a dreamy, starry mural that adds such a fun and whimsical touch to the space.

20. Add some color to your outdoor space

If you have a balcony or backyard, you can still get in on the aesthetics action.

You can make your outdoor space just as cute as your indoor space, and it’s a great way to enjoy the weather.

Add some string lights, a small table and chairs, and some plants to make a cozy little nook. You can also add a pop of color with a rug or some outdoor pillows.

21. Get creative with your outdoor lighting

String up some twinkle lights, place lanterns on your tables, or even install a chandelier on your porch.

There are so many fun ways to light up your outdoor space and add a touch of magic to your summer nights.

This stunning outdoor dining space from us is the perfect example of how to use lighting to create a beautiful ambiance.

22. Add some personality to your outdoor space

If you have a porch, balcony or patio, you can use it as an extension of your home by adding some cozy seating, bright colors and fun patterns.

You can also add some string lights, colorful rugs and other decor items to make your outdoor space feel just as cozy as your indoor space.

23. Get creative with your outdoor furniture

If you want to add some boho flair to your outdoor space, consider incorporating some colorful and patterned furniture.

This space features a bright blue loveseat with fun patterned pillows, and a matching armchair.

Even the outdoor rug in this space features a fun pattern!

To complete the look, the designer added a variety of potted plants and a fun hanging light fixture.

And if you’re really not into the idea of taking care of real plants, you can find plenty of high-quality fake plants that look just as good as the real thing.
