Low Maintenance Decor Ideas that Look Delightful
We all want to have a beautiful home that we will feel proud to invite people over to, but those homes take a lot of hard work and maintenance, right? Well, maybe not as much as you think. If you love a great looking home, but you don’t want to spend half your life maintaining the place, here are some delightful low maintenance decor ideas that are perfect for you.
1. Stone Veneer
Stone veneer is the unsung hero of wall treatments. This nifty decor option brings in that rustic, timeless charm of stone without the maintenance of actual stone. A simple wipe down once in a while and you’re good to go. Plus, it’s versatile. Whether it’s an accent wall in your living room or an earthy backsplash in your kitchen, stone veneer is a win-win!
2. Floating Shelves
Shelves are the silent MVPs of home storage and style. Floating shelves, especially, offer a minimalistic yet chic storage solution. Plop on a potted plant, a few books, or knick-knacks, and voila! You’ve got an aesthetic and functional space.
3. Vinyl Flooring
No, not your grandma’s old vinyl tiles! Modern vinyl flooring is not just durable and waterproof; it can mimic anything from hardwood to marble. It’s a visual treat without the hassle of special cleaning agents or the fear of water damage.
4. Cactus & Succulents
For those of us without green thumbs, cacti and succulents are easy plants to maintain. These hardy plants need minimal attention, survive in various conditions, and can serve as cute tabletop or windowsill adornments.
5. Area Rugs with Busy Patterns
Hear me out. Rugs with intricate patterns or multiple colors are not only captivating to the eye but are also champions at hiding minor stains or dust. So, you can push that vacuuming session a little further down the week without anyone being the wiser!
6. Woven Wall Hangings
If you haven’t boarded the woven wall-hanging train yet, now’s your time. They add texture, color, and warmth to any room. The best part? They don’t gather nearly as much dust as framed pieces, making them a low-maintenance art choice.
7. Stainless Steel Everything
From kitchen backsplashes to fixtures, stainless steel is durable, timeless, and – wait for it – fingerprint resistant (if you opt for certain finishes.) Plus, it meshes well with many decor styles.
8. Faux Animal Busts
Always wanted an animal bust but not the taxidermy vibes? Enter the faux animal bust. They come in materials ranging from resin to cardboard, and they’re a quirky way to add character to a space. No feeding or care is required!
9. Decorative Storage Baskets
Trendy, useful, and maintenance-free, decorative storage baskets can store anything from throws to magazines, toys, and more. They’re an easy way to keep clutter at bay while still adding a decorative touch to your space.
10. Magnetic Paint & Hanging Strips
Say goodbye to the tedious task of hammering nails. With magnetic paint, you can switch up posters or photos on a whim. Similarly, adhesive hanging strips let you put up and switch out frames without the commitment of holes in your walls.
There you have it – you really can curate a beautiful-looking home that is a joy to spend time in without having to spend every hour cleaning and looking after it. I hope you will benefit from some of these low maintenance decor ideas. Here’s to a delightful home and a more joyful you!
