When it comes to the interior design world, trends often come and go, oftentimes rather quickly. However, the constant change can make it really challenging to keep your home looking modern and stylish. By the time you’ve gone and decorated your home accordingly, an entirely new fad can pop up, rendering your newly decorated space outdated and played out.

The key to effortlessly staying on trend is to prioritize the small, easy-to-update details rather than committing to a full room makeover. Plus, there are plenty of simple, budget-friendly strategies you can use to help.

To breathe new life into your spaces, here are five tips to help you conveniently transition from one design trend to the next.

1. Refresh with throw pillows.

If you need help switching up your decor from one season to the next, a collection of throw pillows can be a quick and easy fix. There are so many colors, patterns, shapes, sizes, and materials to choose from, which makes it super easy to transition between seasons.

For example, you could use bright and bold throw pillows in citrus yellow or fuschia to decorate your home for summer. Then, once autumn rolls around, switch them out for natural-toned pillows featuring embroidered leaves and pumpkins.

And if you want to stay up on all the most popular trends in design, scour your local or online decor shops for the latest on-trend throw pillow designs, from moody bouclé to vibrant abstract prints.

2. Curate your shelves.

Bookshelves, mantels, and other shelving options make for the perfect canvas when you want to change up your decor.

You can easily style these display areas with decorative books, plants, artwork, and other trinkets in a way that highlights the latest trends. And don’t be afraid to experiment with balance, texture, and pops of color to make it even more interesting.

3. Revive with paint.

Speaking of paint, when it comes to renovating your home, there’s nothing a fresh coat of paint can’t do. But not only is it one of the most transformative ways to change up the vibe, but it’s really cost-effective, too.

To spice up your decor with paint, why not try designing an accent wall in a trendy hue, like earthy terracotta, mysterious indigo, or even Pantone’s color of the year?

You can even renovate your existing furniture with a quick paint job, or paint the interior of a bookshelf or cabinet for an unsuspecting pop of color. The possibilities are endless — all you need is a little paint and a bit of imagination.

4. Layer in textiles.

Textiles are an often overlooked, yet totally game-changing element that you can use to switch up your decor.

With textiles, you can conveniently infuse your home with current design trends. For example, you could try hanging curtains or swap out a dated area rug for the latest TikTok obsession.

Or to kick it up a notch, you could even reupholster your chairs or headboards using on-trend fabrics for a unique, eye-catching display.

5. Upgrade your lighting fixtures.

Because your lighting can greatly influence the ambiance in your home, swapping out old, dated fixtures can instantly modernize a room.

To renovate with lighting fixtures, go for products that make a statement. Think of a chandelier, trendy table lamps, or sleek and modern wall sconces.

Or, if you’re not looking to spend too much on decor, you can easily find budget-friendly options at thrift stores or even refresh an old fixture with paint.
