Small Decor Changes That Shift the Mood of a Room
You don’t need a full makeover to make your home feel fresh. Sometimes, it just takes one or two thoughtful updates. A shift in texture, a pop of color, or a detail that tells a little more of your story.
At LUKLIV, we believe that creating a space you love is about layering pieces that feel personal and natural, not perfect. Whether you're in the city or the countryside, here are some small decor changes that can make a room feel instantly more inviting and more you.
1. Mix Textures to Add Warmth and Character
If your space feels flat or a bit sterile, it might be missing contrast. Try adding a mix of textures, soft, rough, smooth, natural, to bring depth and warmth.
Swap a sleek cushion for a linen one. Add a vintage ceramic next to a glass object. Drape a slightly rumpled throw over your chair or sofa. Texture brings life to a space and makes it feel lived in, not just decorated.
2. Use Color to Set the Mood
Color has a direct impact on how a room feels. Warm neutrals and earthy tones can create calm, while a bold accent can even energise or add personality.
You don’t need to repaint your walls. Try:
A new pillow in a clay or rust tone
A piece of pottery in deep green or soft lavender
A framed photo with a rich wood or colored frame
It’s all about how you want the space to feel.
3. Add a Coffee Table Book (or Two)
A good coffee table book does more than just sit pretty. It tells a story about you.
Whether it's about art, fashion, travel, or design, books are a stylish, subtle way to showcase your passions and spark conversation. Stack one on a side table, place it under a candle or vase, or leave it open on a favorite page.
(Panache, of course, is a good place to start.)
4. Rework a Small Area — and Keep It Simple
You don’t need to redecorate the entire room. Focus on one small surface: a corner of your shelf, a windowsill, or the top of your dresser.
Clear it off, and bring in just 2–3 things you love, a piece you picked up while traveling, a candle you actually use, a vintage bowl that holds keys or jewelry. It’s about function and feeling, not clutter.
5. Bring in Something Natural
Bringing nature inside, even in the smallest way, can instantly make a space feel more alive.
This doesn’t mean you need a full plant collection. One branch in a glass bottle, some eucalyptus in a ceramic jug, or even a bowl of seasonal fruit on the table can shift the energy of the room. It’s simple, beautiful, and grounding.
Small Changes. Big Impact.
Your space should work with your life, not against it. By layering in texture, rethinking colour, and adding meaningful details, like a well-loved book or a beautiful natural object, you can shift the mood of a room without making a single big purchase.
Home isn’t about perfection. It’s about what makes you feel good in your space.
And those little details? They make all the difference.
