We are living in very different times right now. Between WFH (i.e. working from home), homeschooling, and/or just home for safety reasons, don’t let the moody blues and cabin fever can creep up on you. Get your creative juices flowing! You could pick a new hobby like gardening or painting OR you can refresh your home decor like I have. You don’t even have to buy new stuff! Simply rearranging and remixing what you have can bring new life to your space. Check out these three, super easy, inexpensive ways to refresh home decor without spending a dime.
Design Remix: How to Refresh Home Decor Without Spending a Dime
Refresh Home Decor Tip #1 – Embrace Nature
Don’t overlook the beauty of your natural surroundings. Colorful, seasonal fruits placed in a wooden bowl or tree branches in a glass vase make a wonderful centerpiece in your living room or kitchen.

Refresh Home Decor Tip #2 – Clear the Counter
Transform your cluttered bath to a spa-like retreat. Stash your hair and beauty products under the sink or in your linen closet. Use 1 or 2 products in pretty containers as decor. In my master bathroom decor (shown below) makeup wedges stored in an inexpensive apothecary jar, a small plant and a lamp equal simple yet, chic decor.
Refresh Home Decor Tip #3 – Style Your Bookcase
Bookcases can quickly become a cluttered catch-all for books, magazines, kids’ toys, old bills – especially when we’re spending more time at home. Why not turn your bookcase into a visually appealing display of your style and personality? I turned the books in my bookcase (shown below) into art by grouping them by color and turning a few on their sides. I also displayed a few small accessories and framed family photos to add a little more visual interest and personality.
About my photos: After my great Uncle Johnny passed, my grandmother was going through his personal items. She found these photos taken of him (in the 1950s I believe) as he walked down the street. I was drawn to the classic style and had them copied and enlarged. Doesn’t he look like a handsome model?
