People In This Group Are Sharing Decor Ideas That Improved Their Homes 100% (30 Pics)

Since its creation in 2011, more than 466K members have joined this online group, proudly sharing their projects and giving out tips and tricks to help others with theirs. Whether it’s putting a little something on the shelf, doing a small bathroom remodel or a huge house makeover, there’s plenty of stunning home transformations out there. 

For many people, home decor starts with a few new pieces, others may go to greater lengths and repaint their walls but members of the Home Decorating subreddit go all in, doing complete makeovers of their dusty old rooms and awakening the DIYers in us. Even if you’re not looking for inspiration for your own project, it’s at least a feast for the eyes. 

According to a survey by OnePoll on behalf of Puffy, more than 70% U.S. residents were planning to make a significant change in their home decor. It may not have happened by choice, since the pandemic lockdowns and lack of activities left loads of time for thinking and inspiring people to invest in makeover projects. 

More than 2000 people were surveyed and asked about their plans, styles and decor pieces they were thinking to get for their future dwellings. While one could guess that the desire to make such changes comes from the “new normal” of working remotely, adding new functions to people’s homes was not the top reason for redecorating, nor was the change of scenery. 

People started to crave more luxurious items and wished to create a safe refuge from the chaos around them. The majority of the respondents said that when it comes to decor, they underline the importance of coziness. Many are planning to do that by incorporating both timeless and modern elements into their interior—smart furniture (34%), natural elements (31%) and colorful statement art (28%).

Whether your home is due for an update or you just want to breathe new life into your space, there are lots of creative decor trends and styles to try out. If you’re planning to take your project to a whole new level in the upcoming year, there’s a few tips to consider before designing your room. 

First, remember that you’re not going to complete transforming the entire room, not to mention the house, overnight. Avoid buying things like a whole furniture set that would only result in your place looking cluttered. Don’t try to make your room look like something from a furniture store catalogue and remember that it should be unique, look natural and reflect on who you are as a person. 

Next, if you decide on a theme, don’t overdo it. Thinking of a concept for your room is a good idea but it’s easy to go overboard with it. If you wish that your room would have a tropical mood, getting wallpaper, sheets, rugs or even furniture with little palm trees on them might result in it resembling a bizarre theme park.

Remember that trends have a tendency to come and go. It’s better to keep the theme subtle and include little decor pieces that could be easily changeable in the future. This also helps to make sure that your room does not end being monotonous and unoriginal. After all, personalized room decor is exciting to see, so don’t be afraid to experiment with it.
