There’s no better time than fall to think about redecorating your home. But even if you don’t have the budget to hire an interior designer or do a complete overhaul, you can still refresh your space by adding a fresh coat of paint or introducing colorful furniture pieces and accessories to the items you already have.

Add Comfort and Color With an Area Rug
An area rug is a simple way to brighten up any space in your home. We love the Ruggable X Malene Barnett Collection of contemporary area rugs that are inspired by Black culture. The best part – all of the rugs are stain-resistant and machine washable, so they’re easy to keep clean.
Freshen Up the Bathroom With a Shower Curtain
The bathroom is one of the easiest rooms in your home to redo. Start by adding a shower curtain with a bold print like this one from the Opalhouse Designed by Jungalow collection at Target.
Don’t Forget The Colorful Bathroom Accessories
While you’re updating your bathroom, it’s a great time to choose new soap dispensers, toothbrush holders and other accessories, like these from Target’s Opalhouse Designed With Jungalow collection.
Add Light and Style With a New Lamp
Whether you put it to your bedroom or your living room, a luxe table lamp like the Amur from Aphrochic is a simple way to bring new light into the room.
Switch Up Your Sofa’s Style With Decorative Pillows
Show your couch a little love with the help of these Batik DE NOVO Pillow Covers from XN Studio. Hand-printed and tie-dyed in Tanzania, the sustainably-made covers in the collection add a brilliant accent to your furniture.
Seating in Rich Colors Can Level Up Your Kitchen/Dining Area
Your choice of seating is another opportunity to show off your style in your kitchen or dining room. We love the rich velvet of the Alma Counter Stool from the Marie Burgos Collection.
Choose Wall Art That Makes a Statement

Splurge on a Timeless Sofa
If you do have a little wiggle room in your budget, splurge on a new sofa like this sectional from Albany Park. Made of vegan leather and mattress-quality foam cushions, the neutral color and timeless style make it worth the money.
Storage Baskets Help Contain Your Clutter
Instead of leaving blankets, shoes and toys lying around in your living room, why not keep them hidden in these beautiful handwoven storage baskets from Expedition Subsahara?
Use Wallpaper to Create an Eye-Catching Accent Wall
Art isn’t the only way to elevate your walls. Choose a stylish wallpaper design like the Sade-Black Wallpaper from Forbes Masters to create a chic accent wall in any room.

Curl up with a good book (or your remote) with a beautiful throw like this machine washable art deco piece from the Johanna Howard Home collection. When you’re not lounging, it can double as a beautiful accessory for your bed or sofa.
Store Your Stuff in a Colorful Cabinet
Keep the clutter off of your countertops with this beautiful Colorblock Bar Cabinet from Chef Marcus Samuelsson’s exclusive collab with West Elm. The only thing more stunning than the bold blue hue on the outside are the red shelves on the inside.
A Vibrant Accent Chair Adds Extra Style and Seating
