5 Minimalist Décor Trends That Will Upgrade Your Home

With so many cities in America becoming new hotspots, many people are making moves to cities they may not have expected. I recently saw these new homes for sale in Boise, Charlotte, and other up and coming cities all need the love and care you gave your previous home. It all starts with how you decorate.

Perhaps interior design isn’t really your thing. And, if you’ve decided to purge the older items from your previous location, you now have the giant task of refurnishing from scratch! You can do a lot with space with even the most minimal designs. Here are a few tips that can get you started towards an affordable and beautiful home décor upgrade!

• Round Mirrors

This trend in large, circular mirrors has caught on like wildfire. You can get a relatively affordable round mirror at places like Target or Home Goods. These mirrors are perfect for placing above couches in a living room or above a dresser in a bedroom. Large and typically flat, these mirrors are an excellent way to add a new dynamic to an otherwise simple room.

• Fairy/String/LED lights

These lights have almost as many names as they do uses around the house. Once upon a time only used for holiday decorations, string lights have become the quickest way to dress up a pair of sheer curtains or the headboard of a bed frame. Mostly battery operated, they require little in the way of installation and level up the whimsy and charm to any room.

• Petite Plants

Whether you’re a true green thumb or a plant killer (like myself), fear not. There is a solution for everyone. Live plants offer a great way to show off your gardening skills, and some plants are even known to clean the air in the rooms they dwell.

However, if you don’t feel as confident in your gardening abilities, fake plants are just as sought after. In a minimalist home, plants are an excellent way to add that accent of color to an otherwise monochromatic room.

• Floating Shelves

Shelves of all kinds are a great way to both decorate and store some of your most treasured items. Floating shelves, however, not only conserve space but also are a way to disperse the space in your room evenly.

While some choose to stagger shorter shelves to add a creative touch, even having one larger shelf can do the trick when it comes to utilizing all of the space you are given.

• Cubes

Depending on how much storage you require, cubes come in all different sizes but the result remains the same. Like floating shelves, cubes are a fantastic way to not only give items a space of their own, but to display them as prized possessions.

A fun and creative way to keep everything in its place, cubes also add a modern touch to the most traditional rooms.

Which to Choose?

Home décor is a fantastic way to express yourself through unique and functional furnishings. Even when opting for a more minimal look, there is so much space for creative freedom and even more inspiration to draw from. You can opt for a modern approach to minimalism or you can wholly embrace the traditional looks often borrowed from European design.

It’s no secret that there’s a lot that goes into moving to a new place. Because of all the stress that comes with transporting all of your essentials can be a giant pain, upgrading décor might not be on your mind. But it’s guaranteed to make your new place feel like home.
