Ready to refresh your space without a full renovation? These quick decor challenges are perfect for a weekend project. They’ll spark creativity, boost your home’s style, and give you that satisfying “after” feeling- all in just a couple of days.
1. Restyle a Shelf or Bookcase
- Remove everything and start with a clean slate.
- Mix books with decorative objects, greenery, and framed photos.
- Use the rule of thirds to create balance and visual interest.
2. Create a Statement Wall
- Try peel-and-stick wallpaper, bold paint, or a gallery of framed art.
- Choose one wall that draws attention- like behind a bed or sofa.
- Incorporate a cohesive color palette or theme for impact.
3. Refresh Your Entryway
- Add a stylish rug, a mirror, and a tray or bowl for keys and mail.
- Use hooks or a bench with storage to boost function and organization.
- Bring in plants or art to make the space feel inviting and personal.

4. Update Throw Pillows and Textiles
- Swap out pillows, throws, or curtains with seasonal or bold patterns.
- Mix textures- think velvet, linen, chunky knits- for depth and warmth.
- Stick to a color story that complements your existing furniture.
5. Declutter and Style a Surface
- Clear off a cluttered coffee table, dresser, or console.
- Re-style with a tray, a stack of books, candles, and a personal touch.
- Use odd numbers (like groups of 3 or 5) for natural-looking arrangements.
Final Thoughts
These weekend decor challenges are small but mighty- perfect for elevating your space without spending too much time or money. Pick one (or a few), and watch how even minor changes can transform the way your home feels.
