10 Free Ways to Decorate Your Home
Sometimes just changing one or two small things in a room can give it a whole new look and feel without spending a dime. Here are 10 free ways to decorate your home.
10 Free Ways to Decorate Your Home
- To make your ceilings appear taller, hang your curtains above the window frame. You can even hang them just below the ceiling. When doing this, you need to be sure that the curtain reaches the floor, so check the length of the curtains before hanging the rods.
- If your living and/or family room lacks a warm, cozy feel, grab extra pillows from other parts of the home and add them to the sofa and loveseat. Non-matching pillows will give the room an interesting vibe.
- Add color to blah-looking rooms by adding a colorful blanket or throw. Just take a look around the room for color inspiration.
- Rethink your furniture layout. Move pieces around until it feels right to you. If all of your furniture is up against the wall, move them into groups to encourage conversation.
- Decorate with fruit. No need to purchase fake fruit, just pull some out of your fridge and put them in bowls or clear vases. Display oranges, lemons, and limes in the summer and apples in the fall and winter.
- Update your mantel with items in the same color. Go through your home and collect anything in that color family. You could use plates, frames, books, vases or photos…anything goes.
- When accessorizing around the room, place items in groups of 3 or 5. These arrangements are more interesting to the eye. More than 7 pieces will begin to look like clutter.
- A wine rack can double as storage for rolled towels in the bathroom. This trick will help your bathroom feel like a spa and make towels easy to access.
- Tie curtains back with colorful scarves or ribbon to give the windows a new look.
- Hang jewelry on the wall. You can use small hooks or 3M command hooks. I have even seen jewelry hung inside a picture frame with the glass removed. Hanging your jewelry on the wall will add instant glam and color to the room. An added bonus: now you can see all of your jewelry and wear them more often!
That’s It!

I hang necklaces on a bulletin board on my wall so it’s functional and pretty! These are great tips! Thanks for sharing on the Small Victories Sunday Linkup!
Yes – someone gave me a pretty small mounted wine rack and it works very nicely in the guest bathroom for hand towel storage!
Those wine racks are great, aren’t they? 😉
Great ideas! I love the idea of grouping like colored items together on a mantel. I’ll have to try this!
Great! I hope that works out well for you. Thanks for stopping by!

I have some wonderful young women (many newly married… woo hoo!) in my life who ask me to help them decorate their homes. “OF COURSE!” is generally my response. And because many of them, and many of you, are kindred spirits in that we all want simple, inexpensive ideas on how to decorate, these tips from SimpLeigh Organized will rock your socks off! :: xo – Ronda

Great!
Some of these I’m not sure qualify as ‘free’–I don’t know about most people, but I don’t have colorful throws or accent pillows just laying around. But the jewelry idea I’ve already done; I actually make jewelry boards out of leftover cardboard, my birthday card envelopes (only the ones with stamps, for interest), and clear push-pins. Each held six necklaces, so I scattered them across the wall. I wore my necklaces so much more often after I’d done that!
Good point about the pillows. Hopefully, some of the other ideas were helpful to you. Thanks for commenting!
