Small Changes That Make a Big Impact in Home Decor

Modern living room with a gray textured wall, a plush gray sofa adorned with white pillows, and a cozy knitted blanket. The room features sleek black lighting, gold decorative items, and a large leafy plant in a dark vase, creating a stylish and comfortable atmosphere.

You don’t need a full renovation—or a huge budget—to refresh your home. Sometimes, a few small, intentional updates can make your space feel brand new. From statement pillows to well-placed wall artwork, these simple swaps can breathe new life into any room.

Here are a few easy decor upgrades you can find at your local furniture store that make a big visual impact without overwhelming your wallet.

1. Refresh with Statement Pillows

If your couch or bed is looking a little tired, new pillows are the easiest way to switch things up. Think bold colors, playful patterns, or rich textures like velvet, boucle, or embroidery. They can completely shift the mood of your space with minimal effort.

Pro tip: Mix and match different shapes and fabrics for a layered, designer look.

2. Add Warmth and Texture with Rugs

A great rug does more than just cover your floor—it grounds the room, adds texture, and can visually connect all your furniture. Whether you’re into bold patterns or neutral tones, a rug can instantly cozy up your space and make it feel more finished.

For smaller rooms, go for lighter shades to open things up. For larger spaces, try layering rugs to create zones within an open floor plan.

3. Upgrade Your Walls with Artwork

Blank walls can make a home feel unfinished. Adding wall artwork is one of the quickest ways to add character and personality. Whether it’s a large abstract piece, a gallery wall of photos, or a sculptural object, art tells your story.

Not sure where to start? Choose one large piece for impact or create a grid of smaller framed prints. Bonus: this is a great way to experiment with color and style without changing your furniture.

Browse in-store or ask your local furniture store team to help source artwork that aligns with your space.

Bonus Tip: Explore What’s in Store

If you’re stuck in a design rut, walking through a local showroom can offer fresh ideas and inspiration. Seeing furniture in store—alongside accessories like lamps, textiles, and vases—makes it easier to visualize what will work in your home.
