Eight Simple and Delicate Home Dècor Ideas Guaranteed to Help Refresh Your Space
Your home serves as a reprieve from the outside world, and it often depicts who you are as a person. After spending time and money choosing pieces to fill your abode—from the coffee table in the living room to the guest room bedsheets—deciding that your space needs a change can feel overwhelming. Luckily, you don't need a total remodel or renovation to refresh your place. Simple additions to your décor can make a bigger impact than you might think, especially when making a number of small modifications.
One easy way to revive your space is by adding delicate décor elements like a translucent pastel hued votive candle holder. Place your favorite scented candle within the holder atop your mantle to tap into one of your strongest senses—smell—or set a tea light inside for a subtle, scent-free glow. Incorporate more touches of light while making any area appear bigger with a decorative mirror. The reflective surface refracts light, while the simple frame seamlessly blends in with any room's décor.

Another way to spice up your home is by crafting your own goods, like a handmade blanket. Featuring a thick, textured yarn the throw fits nicely into any room without making too much of a statement; plus, it looks perfect perched on top of a couch or casually thrown over a chair in the living room. You can also freshen up your dining room with a lovely centerpiece that mimics mother nature with its branch-like construction. If you'd rather start from the ground up, incorporate a patterned rug in a neutral color in any room of the house for an instant change.
Ahead, some of our favorite quick and easy home décor ideas. They're guaranteed to freshen up your space, no matter what your budget or design aesthetic may be.
