30 Minute Home Decorating Ideas
Easy Home Decorating Ideas That Take Just 30 Minutes!
Want to spice up the walls in your home? How about adding some color in your living space? Or have some fun! Get creative with your book collection. Decorating, or in our case virtual staging, your home can be simple and shouldn’t be overwhelming. Here are 3 Easy DIY Home Decorating Ideas that you can accomplish in just 30 Minutes!
1.) Use Plates as Art – Decorating walls in your living room, dining room or kitchen is easy. Display an arrangement of unique or decorative plates. Hang a plate just like a picture frame by purchasing wire hangers. You can hang several in one straight line or make a collage with four or more. Search your local thrift shops to find matching dishes for a traditional feel or mix different patterns for a unique look. STAGING TIP: This is an inexpensive way to acquire wall decor when staging your home on a budget!
2.) Add Area Rugs – Area rugs are an easy decorating item that always gives your home a polished look! A rug can add color to a space or tone down a busy room by going with a neutral palette. A rug placed in a large living area is perfect for anchoring major pieces of furniture like sofas and chairs. Add a plush, soft rug in the bedroom underneath a portion of the bed. Don’t think rugs are just for hardwood floors they can be stylish over wall-to-wall carpet!
3.) Group Decor Items – Group similar items like vases on a fireplace mantel by color for a fresh, contemporary look in your home or a collection of stars like in the staged living room photo above. Make a collection of pillows at one end of a couch or arrange a grouping of picture frames on a dresser. Get creative when decorating or virtual staging by grouping books and magazines by the color of the spine. Organize by red, oranges and yellows and watch how you can create an instant rainbow on your bookshelves!

“The unfurnished townhome we had listed had been on the market for 4 months until we decided to engage in virtual staging. I had the townhome professionally photographed and then had the photos virtually staged and they were so realistic. We had a binding contract within 2 weeks after posting the virtual photos!”
