7 Favorite Things to Enhance the Space Around You

When it comes to enhancing the aesthetic appeal and functionality of your living space, there are countless options available that can truly transform your home. Here are some of my top picks to spruce up your home, ensuring that each recommendation is not only stylish but also practical.

1. Fresh Paint Colors: One of the most impactful ways to revitalize your home is by applying a fresh coat of paint. Consider using light, airy colors to create a sense of openness, or bold, dark hues to add drama and sophistication. Accent walls can also provide a striking focal point in a room. Don’t forget to choose high-quality paint that is durable and easy to clean. Shop my paint packages for whole home ideas.

2. Stylish Lighting Fixtures: Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood and ambiance of a space. Upgrading your light fixtures can dramatically change the feel of a room. When I saw this beauty, I knew it had to be mine! This fun but elegant chandelier is a perfect fit for a home office.

3. Indoor Plants: Adding greenery to your home not only enhances its aesthetics but also improves air quality. Choose low-maintenance options such as snake plants, or succulents if you’re new to managing plants. The key to success, is finding the right amount of sun and water for each. After that, most plants will thrive and this can truly give a natural, full of life, appeal to the whole space. Decorative pots can further complement your style, whether it be modern, rustic, or bohemian. I usually seek out the ideal color greenery, or shape, and height to achieve the best look for the space I'm working with.

4. Area Rugs: An area rug can anchor a room and add warmth and plush texture. Choose rugs that complement your existing furniture and color scheme. Consider materials that are both stylish and durable, especially for high-traffic areas. Try going round or selecting rugs with patterns and or colors. These can create a unique and inviting atmosphere. Typically the larger the rug the better, however in this case I went for just the area under the coffee table.

5. Wall Art and Décor: Personalizing your space with wall art is a great way to express your personality and interests. From framed photographs to abstract paintings, the choices are endless. This is another excellent spot to incorporate something round. Bigger wall clocks are an ideal way to introduce character, and their round shape will bring a touch of softness to the room. Additionally, incorporating mirrors can create the illusion of more space and reflect light.

6. Functional Furniture: My home office "desk" is more along the lines of a table. While working on a computer is essential, I also wanted the flexibility to easily engage in crafts, painting, sewing, or any other activities. I believe having a large table top to work on, is important and certainly helps to be more productive. Of course it's certainly a favorite for its beauty as well.

7. Decluttering and Organization: Sometimes, the best way to spruce up your home is by simply decluttering and organizing your space. Invest in stylish storage solutions such as baskets, bins, and organizers that can help keep your belongings in order. A well-organized home not only looks more appealing but also promotes a sense of calm and well-being, not to mention it's much easier to find things.

By implementing these favorite picks to enhance your home, you can create a space that is not only visually appealing but also comfortable and functional. Each of these suggestions can be tailored to fit your unique style and preferences, ensuring that your home truly reflects who you are.
