Your home is a reflection of your personality and style, and decorating it should be an enjoyable and personal experience. While traditional home decor may be beautiful, adding some unique and unconventional elements can take your space to the next level. From repurposing old items to incorporating bold colours and textures, there are endless ways to make your home one-of-a-kind. Whether you’re a fan of stand-out feature wall or prefer a cosy reading corner, the following unique home decorating ideas will help you create a space that is truly your own.
Add a Feature or Gallery Wall
Use bold colours or an eye-catching patterned wallpaper to create a feature wall that will make a statement in your room. Feature walls or gallery walls filled with art or family photos are a great way to make your space unique with relative ease, and make a great focal point for your newly decorated room.
Up-cycle Old Items
Give new life to old items such as suitcases, frames, and even furniture by repurposing them into unique decor items. Whether they are functional, or just for show, these up-cycled or vintage items add a touch that you don’t see every day. Often a great place to find these items are on auction websites or local car-boot sales. Unique finds take a keen eye, but make all the difference in your final decor.
Create a Cosy Reading Corner
Turn an unused corner into a cosy reading nook by adding a comfortable chair, a lamp, and some throw pillows. Creating this small and unique space within your room makes for a truly unique feature and is a great place to relax, unwind and take in your newly decorated room.
Use Natural Elements
Incorporate natural elements such as stones, driftwood, and shells into your decor to create a connection to nature and add some texture and interest to your space. These natural items can be found in nature, whether that’s a trip to the beach or a stroll in the countryside. You’ll find yourself surrounded by perfect, unique additions to your room, that stand-out from the traditional decorative items found in many homes.
Use Wall Decals
Wall decals can be used to create a unique and eye-catching focal point in your home. Choose a decal that reflects your personal style and interests, and perhaps incorporate this into a feature wall. Decals can be bought online in almost endless designs and colours. You’ll find classy and unique designs to match your style and personality.
Make Use of Vertical Space
Make the most of your wall space by using shelves, hooks, and baskets to create vertical storage solutions that double as decor items. Display your unique finds in style with a one of a kind storage area. Whether it’s a number of floating shelves, or a range of wicker baskets that span from the floor to the ceiling, storage doesn’t need to be boring!
