Living spaces evolve with the people who live in them. There are many ways to decorate your house or apartment over time, but it is perhaps the least overwhelming to focus on items you can easily hang or set on visible surfaces. You make the decisions. These suggestions can help you get started.

Artwork

If you believe that works of art belong outside of museums, too, think about buying some artwork. You don’t need to find work by Monet to have meaningful art in your home. You can purchase art from the places you visit, and you can often support artists without ever visiting the place where the art originated. Artwork is a broad category, so you have more options than you may realize. Once you have filled all of your walls with paintings, look at stone art Key West FL, pottery, metal works, and other materials that can decorate mantelpieces and countertops. Don’t limit yourself; art can fit in a multitude of spaces. 

Photographs

Photographs are a kind of artwork but can have a more sentimental role, too. Even if you stopped keeping a photo album years ago, you might still appreciate framed photos. Have some fun pairing vibrant-colored frames with pictures of parties or other celebrations. Rescue old photos from crumbling albums and let them decorate a spot in your hallway. Take new photos and print out memories that make you happy.

Clocks

Not only do clocks keep time, but they also come in an array of designs. Ticking analog clocks and beeping digital ones don’t encompass the possibilities. Find clocks that match the colors and moods of rooms in your home. A birder might love to have a bird-shaped clock in a bedroom. In the same home, a grandfather clock could sound the hour in a living room.

Stay creative, have fun, and discover all of the decorating possibilities you have.
