Lean a Message Board in a Kitchen

It’s a sweet little way to leave a message for your family — or promote tonight’s dinner menu in a creative way. No shelf? Put a board like this (it’s from Letterfolk) on a countertop, propped against the wall. (Designed by Allisa Jacobs)

Paint Your Bedroom Ceiling a Spahhh Color

What’s more relaxing than lying in bed and staring at a soothing sky blue? Try Fountain Spout by Benjamin Moore (shown) or Big Surf by Behr.

Cover a Wall With Decals

Just stick ’em up (these tangerines are from Urbanwalls) and they totally transform the entire room. You can find decals in any pattern — flowers, dots, animals, whatever! Replace them when you’re in the mood for a new look. (Designed by DMF Interiors)
