Refreshing your home decor is a fantastic way to add a pop of personality to your home. As many people are spending more time at home these days, it can be beneficial to personalize the space as much as possible.

Here are some trendy ways to personalize your home with the best unique home decor ideas for 2021.

Textile Wall Hangings

Texture is becoming more ingrained in interior design schemes in recent years. Adding varying fabrics and textiles adds a tactile element to the room, creating a look that you can feel. Adding contrasting fabrics creates a presence in the room and can set the tone in a subtle way.

One of the best ways to add a unique twist to this trend is to use textile wall hangings. While this decor scheme ultimately ties into a Boho-inspired look, you can personalize it in various ways. Have your favorite image printed on a VisionBedding fabric wall hanging for a stunning alternative to a canvas print. Alternatively, create your own piece with fabric scraps, macrame, or wool for a rustic, artistic look.

Hanging a unique piece like a cowhide on the wall that will truly take your decor to the next level is another great option to consider. Adding cowhide to your walls can bring a rustic yet modern touch to your home’s atmosphere. This versatile decor piece can be placed in any room, from the living room to the bedroom, and can be paired with various furnishings. A cowhide can also add texture and contrast to your walls by breaking up the monotony of plain painted walls or traditional wallpaper. Adding a cowhide can create a dramatic focal point in any room and could be the missing piece that completes your home’s decor. However, you need to be careful with cowhides as they are comparatively heavy, and you might need to search for tips for hanging a cowhide on the wall and adopt the safest way to do that. An innovative way to enhance walls is by adding living walls that can give you an elegant style at home. 

Shiplap in Deep Colors

Shiplap has been a popular trend in recent years and coincides with the textured wall trend mentioned above. However, many designers have been sticking with bright whites and neutrals when using this decor feature.

Make this look your own by adding shiplap in deep, rich colors. Jewel tones like emerald and navy are going to be big in 2021. Use these to add a sense of elegance to a room and take the shiplap look from simple to chic. If the deep colors seem too overwhelming for your small space, use this as an accent wall and balance it with lighter shades.

Repurposed Fireplace

If you have a fireplace that goes unused for most of the year, consider making a temporary or permanent change to the space. There are endless options for making this small alcove into a work of art.

One simple way to repurpose your fireplace is to add a coat of paint or tile inside . Arrange a few candles or plants for an ensemble that adds to the atmosphere of the room. You can also artfully arrange books, vases, or even firewood for a unique decor feature. Using electric fireplace inserts is another way to spruce up your home without spending a large fortune.

Gallery Wall 2.0

Gallery walls have been popular for a long time, and they’re well overdue for an upgrade. Rethink your gallery wall by featuring an assortment of treasures that showcase your personality. This project is fantastic for thrift shop lovers.

Instead of arranging photos, use your gallery wall to showcase assorted plates, mirrors, old cameras, or even small planters with live plants. You can also use this unique decor idea for extra storage by arranging hats or jewelry.

Swap Doors for Curtains

If you want to improve the flow of your room while maintaining separation, consider using curtains instead of doors. Add a rich, textured curtain to your archways and entryways for a stunning decor piece that stands out. This feature is a great way to separate a kitchen and dining room or office space and living area.

The key to making this decor feature work is choosing high-quality fabrics in complementary or contrasting colors and hanging the curtains for functionality.

Mix and Match Styles

Let go of the idea that a single room requires a single theme. Get creative and blend design styles for a unique look. For example, you could blend an elegant Victorian color and wall decor scheme with modern furniture or art deco statement lights. You may also consider adding decorative plant pots to elevate the style of your home.

When mixing and matching styles, ensure that there are underlying color schemes or tones to tie the room together.

With these unique home decor ideas, you can create a space that’s truly you.
