2. Do some research.
Research can really help you figure out your home decor style. Whether your home is brand new or a registered historical site, researching homes that look similar to yours or interior designs of other homes in your area can really go a long way in helping you feel more at ease with how to decorate your space.
If you’re really struggling to find a design style that lets your personality shine, you can’t ever go wrong with designing your home in the style that your house was originally built in. For homeowners who are restoring an older home, this is actually essential! Restoring an older home means that you are making it look like it’s just been built, but in the way it was meant to look years (and sometimes decades) ago.
This is most common with homes that are 75 years old or older, since their furnishings were from a particular period. Whether mid-century modern, Victorian or even colonial, your home will look great if you match your decor to its build style.
3. Find your focal wall
Focal walls are essential in interior design. Once you find your focal wall, you should decorate it! Make sure to measure so all your home decor signs will fit. We recommend only one or two large home decor signs on your focal wall, instead opting to decorate it with photos to keep it nice and simple. The less crowded, the better! This is something that you can do no matter your home build style.
Many times, older homes’ focal walls are around a fireplace. You can decorate your mantel for the various seasons and holidays, or you can decorate it with some all-season pieces that look great no matter the temperature outside.

4. Avoid bold colors
Well, let’s rephrase that. Don’t let bold colors be your main colors. Instead, use neutrals for your main colors and use deeper, bolder or brighter shades as accents. Did you know that some colors make you feel a certain way? That’s right! Known as color psychology, there’s been lots of science to show that each color in the color wheel can impact our moods.
For example, blue is known as a calming color while red creates urgency. Consider color psychology when decorating the different rooms in your home. For example, you might incorporate some brighter shades of red in your office so you are alert and power through the work day. However, in your bedroom, you might want to use greens to feel more at one with nature and slightly calmer.
5. Don’t forget your garden space
Outdoor entertaining has increased the past few years, and that means you should spend a little time on your garden and outdoor space if you want to have a good decor style. Add some garden stones with personalized messages, lighting, furniture and anything else that will make your outdoor space feel like an extension of your home. If you use industrial furniture inside, carry that outside with iron outdoor furniture.
6. Shop small
Instead of going to the big box stores, visit the small businesses! There are often lots of little knick-knacks and treasures you can find that make for great additions to your home decor. As a small business ourselves, we can’t stress enough the importance of shopping small. You can find a variety of great items at small businesses, but the best part is that you can get a personalized shopping experience you typically won’t find anywhere else.
