Amidst the Coronavirus quarantines, when it came time to style our new furniture pieces, I found myself being forced to think creatively. This unexpected blessing allowed me to approach decorating with a more mindful and intentional mindset.
By shopping my own home first, rather than rushing out to buy new decor, I was able to gain clarity on what was truly needed and avoid unnecessary purchases.
Bedding
I decided to refresh my bedding setup by swapping out the all-white sheets for a striped set featuring a cream background and subtle tan stripes. This added much-needed visual interest and broke up the monotony of the original white ensemble. I incorporated existing pieces, such as the leftover white euro shams and flat sheet, to maintain continuity while introducing some variety. The fringe lumbar pillow, previously relegated to our sofa, found new life as an accent piece in my bedroom.
This exercise in mixing and matching allowed me to create a fresh look without breaking the bank or overwhelming my space.
Rug
Art
I’ve long been enamored with Juniper Print Shop’s ‘White Sands’ piece, and finally, I found the perfect setting for it. The 24×36 print fits seamlessly into an IKEA Ribba frame, creating a harmonious union. What I appreciate most about this piece is its lightness and softness, which are accentuated by the lack of a mat. This minimalist approach gives the entire display a modern, streamlined aesthetic that I find particularly appealing.
Hat Wall
To maintain the same aesthetic, I relocated my hat grouping from its original spot beside the bed to a narrow wall, supplementing it with additional hats I had acquired. This design choice not only adds visual interest and texture to your walls but also liberates closet space.
For those without a pre-existing collection, Amazon presents a fantastic starting point for discovering new pieces that resonate with you, as was the case when I found my all-time favorite hat alongside others that caught my eye.
Faux Olive Tree
The spot in question lacks sufficient sunlight due to our home’s orientation, making it challenging for real plants to thrive. As a test, I relocated our faux olive tree from the living room to this area to gauge its aesthetic appeal. I’m pleased with the result and plan to introduce another faux tree to complement this space soon. Experimenting with elements from other areas of your home can help you determine what works and what doesn’t, ultimately informing your design decisions.
Other Decor
While maintaining consistency with the previous room, I chose to retain the bamboo blinds and drapes, as they were already functioning well without requiring any modifications. In contrast, every decorative piece in this new space was sourced from within the house itself. This approach not only preserves resources but also allows for effortless refreshes by simply swapping out or rotating existing items – a budget-friendly and practical strategy to breathe new life into the space.
