14 Decor Items HGTV Stars Use In All Their Designs

It's no secret HGTV stars know how to decorate. We love watching a total house flip, but sometimes all a space needs is some fresh accessories — a decorating fact HGTV designers stand by. After all, our stars showcase simple, tried-and-true design elements in all their projects, big or small. Ahead: 14 accessories our HGTV stars use time and time again.

My Lottery Dream Home host David Bromstad loves a floor-to-ceiling curtain. For him, this window treatment helps "create a lot of drama" — which is always the goal when it comes to head-turning interiors.

In an interview with HGTV back in 2021, David revealed that when he's settling into a new home, he sets aside a large chunk of his design budget on an expansive and comfortable couch. The reason? It’s where he spends most of his time when alone and when family and friends come to visit.

One look into Tiffany Brooks and David's Rock the Block house and you'll get it: Greenery is a must in almost any room of the house.

Whether it’s a solid bright color à la David or a vibrant, Bohemian masterpiece chosen by Mina Starsiak of Good Bones, one thing’s for sure: HGTV stars love a floor statement.

Many HGTV stars, including Mina and David, love a velvet moment. For them, it's about more than just adding a luxurious feel to a space — it's about adding texture and color variance, too.

Mina Starsiak has said it before and she’ll surely say it again: Surrounding a traditional wooden table with modern statement chairs is a quick and easy way to add personality to your space.

Wish you lived in a hue-filled home but don’t have permission (or if you’re a homeowner, the patience) to paint your walls? Ditch the paint and decorate. Mina's designs show just how powerful colorful furniture and accessories can be. Don’t be afraid to go bold.

There’s a reason why live-edge tables are so popular these days — and why Mina regularly incorporates them into her designs. Organic, wooden textures give any space a natural allure that mixes beautifully with modern decor.

Kitchens don’t have as much space for decor, that’s why HGTV designers like Mina incorporate color and striking hardware into their cabinetry. From royal blue and forest green paint to half-moon pulls and sleek handles, HGTV hosts have proven just how much of a difference eye-catching cabinets can make.

Erin Napier is a big fan of porches. And while many people assume outdoor furniture on bare decking or patio flooring is the only way to decorate go, Erin is quick to show what an outdoor rug, a mix of furniture and a touch of greenery can do to a space.

One special element you’ll see frequently in both Christina Hall's (Christina on the Coast) and Alison Victoria’s (Windy City Rehab) kitchen re-designs? A bold backsplash. We think they'd both agree: Adding a creative element to the tile makes for an eye-catching impact.

For folks with kids — especially those sharing rooms — you might want to make like Dave and Jenny Marrs and invest in some loft furniture. Dave custom builds pieces for the couple's Fixer to Fabulous renovations, but these space-saving beauties are easy to find online or in furniture stores.

Jenny is a big fan of statement walls (just look at the bedrooms and bathrooms in The Welcome Inn). While she typically enlists the help of artists to create one-of-a-kind, hand-painted wallpaper, plenty of retailers offer gorgeous wallpapper or adhesives, some of which are easy to install.
