It’s shelfie time! Yes, this word has been floating about for a while now, and it’s easy to see why. Shelves are a timeless way to update your home décor, whilst being super practical as well! Not only do they jazz up your wall space, but they are perfect for anyone who loves a clutter-free home. Stylish shelves are all over social media right now, so hop on the trend and get decorating! Here’s how:

Pick a cohesive color scheme

Choose décor items that complement each other well in terms of colour. Additionally, spread the color out. You want your shelves to look like a well thought out display, so avoid color blocking.

Be selective with your display items

Pick out decor you love and opt to curate your accent pieces over time by collecting items slowly! Not only will you make more thoughtful purchases but you will have a story to tell about each item.

Add a splash of color to your shelfie by lining the back of your shelves with peel and stick wallpaper! Go bold with pattern and color that complements the rest of your room.

Paint a faux headboard

Headboards can add a pop of personality to any bedroom. They’re a great way to add color, texture and shape to your sleeping space, and changing it up is easier than you think! We've seen it all over Pinterest, but painted headboards are a huge trend this year and you can really make it your own. From semi-circles and scalloped edges to prints and color blocking, get creative with the paintbrush this weekend and channel your inner artist!

Hang some wall art

It’s a quick and easy job that many of us put off, but it will really make a difference to your home décor. Wall art creates a personalised point of focus on any wall in any room. You’re not limited in the ways you can display them either! Here are a few ideas:

Create a gallery wall

Mix and match artwork, prints and photographs. This will create an impressive gallery wall that’s personal to your style!

Feature walls are all the rage, especially with maximalist design being a top trend right now. A wallpaper mural is a foolproof way of bringing some personality and pizzazz to any room in your home! How about a modern bathroom wallpaper in our premium paste the wall material? Or perhaps a beautiful floral statement in your trendy living room?

Take a look around your home and pick out a blank wall that needs reviving. Perhaps the wall behind your bed, or maybe your dining room needs an update? Then pick out a mural that you love and get decorating this weekend. P.S. You don't need a professional decorator either. Grab a pal and get to work!

Paint the ceiling

Perhaps one of the biggest and most transformative trends this year, painting your ceiling is a dramatic way to update any room in your home. This bold change will not only make your room feel 10X cozier, but also that little bit more designer.

This is an especially great design choice if you are relying on white walls. Experimenting with the ‘fifth wall’ will instantly take things up a notch in a unique and exciting way! Not only that, but it’s a great project to get started on this weekend for a quick and easy update!
