How To Decorate Your Home With Simple Touches

Decorating your home doesn’t have to be complicated or super expensive to make a serious impact. In fact, some of the most beautiful spaces are the ones styled with intention, not excess. 

Simple touches, when chosen thoughtfully, can completely transform the mood of a room and make it feel more elevated, more welcoming, and more you.

Less Fuss, More Style

Forget the pressure to fill every wall or shelf. Decorating with restraint can actually highlight the pieces that matter most.

A neutral palette, clean lines, and a few key accents are often all it takes to bring your space to life.

Plants: The Ultimate Styling Shortcut

One of the easiest (and most beautiful) ways to elevate your home is with plants. 

They soften hard edges, add texture, and bring in natural movement.

Throughout this blog, we’ll show you how to use a few of our favorite plant-forward pieces, from wall planters to sculptural stands to create a home that feels fresh, stylish, and intentionally designed.

Opt For Unique & Impactful Wall Decor

The key to making them look intentional (and not like two random things floating on the wall) is placement. Style them close together and slightly offset for a look that feels organic yet polished. 

One of the most common mistakes is hanging the  too far apart, which breaks up their visual connection and lessens the overall impact. Keep them tight, keep them cohesive, and let the greenery do the rest. 

It's an easy styling move that instantly elevates your wall decor game with minimal effort.

Decorate Your Smallest Wall First

Decorating your home can feel overwhelming, especially when you're staring at a blank room and don't know where to begin. 

That’s why starting with your smallest wall can be a total game-changer. It’s manageable, less intimidating, and gives you a focused space to experiment with style and creativity.

A Small Vignette, Big Inspiration

Creating a beautiful little vignette is more than just a quick win, it can actually help shape the look and feel of the entire room.

A well-styled corner or skinny wall becomes a moodboard in real life, giving you clarity on your aesthetic and building the momentum you need to keep going.


Enter: The Plant Shelf Trio

The Plant Shelf Trio is the perfect place to begin. Designed for smaller spaces, it adds vertical interest and layers of texture without requiring a full wall.

Simple touches like this don’t just fill space, they create style that feels thoughtful, grounded, and uniquely yours.

Design With Height for Maximum Impact

One of the most overlooked styling tricks is designing up, not just out. 

Adding height to your space creates instant visual interest and makes your room feel more dynamic and complete. 

A simple way to do this? Place a plant on the tallest piece in the room, whether that’s a cabinet, a shelving unit, or even the top of your fridge.

Plants naturally draw the eye upward, adding softness, movement, and a pop of green to an otherwise unused space. This creates a layered, elevated look without adding clutter.

It works because it brings balance to the room, grounding the space with greenery while elongating the visual lines. It’s a small, simple decorating move that adds big design energy with very little effort.

Make a Statement with a Single Plant

Sometimes, all it takes is one bold move to completely change the feel of a room and a statement plant is that move. 

A tall, sculptural plant brings life, movement, and undeniable style into a space.

It becomes a natural focal point that draws the eye and anchors the room in a way that feels fresh and modern.

Elevate It with the Right Stand

But here’s the key: a statement plant needs a statement stand. The Arches Plant Stand is the perfect pairing. 

Its tall, slender frame adds a modern design-forward look, making your plant feel more like a design object than just a potted plant.

And the best part? It includes a spun aluminum vessel that has the luxe look of stone but is lightweight, durable, and non-breakable, perfect for stylish homes that need both form and function.

Big Style, Minimal Effort

With just one thoughtfully placed plant and a designer-worthy stand, you can elevate an entire room.

It’s the kind of simple touch that delivers high impact and proves that sometimes, less really is more (especially when it’s done beautifully).

Simple Touches, Stunning Results

Decorating your home doesn’t have to be overwhelming or overcomplicated.

In fact, it’s often the simplest touches that make the biggest impact, whether it’s a statement plant in a beautiful stand, a few wall planters styled just right, or a thoughtfully arranged Plant Shelf on a narrow wall. 

These small, intentional moments add warmth, depth, and personality to your space without requiring a full makeover. 

With just a few design-forward pieces and a bit of greenery, you can create a home that feels elevated, inviting, and completely your own, one simple touch at a time.
