Lively colors and patterns

Interior design is shifting from the simple, minimalist trend and towards creating spaces that are comfortable, bold, and playful. We can expect the popular all-white or all-gray color schemes to shift to bright colors like green, yellow, blue, and orange accents for paint, wallpaper, artwork, and even furniture! If you’re looking to add more pizzazz to your living space on a budget, start searching thrift stores like Goodwill for pieces that can be repurposed in your home. Don’t be afraid to repaint items in vibrant colors or mix-and-match patterns as you bring some new life into your home!

Plants galore

Houseplants are hugely popular right now, especially among the Millennial and Gen Z generations. Not only do plants make any indoor space beautiful, but tending to plants and watching them grow is also a fun hobby. Plus, being surrounded by live plants even offers health and wellness benefits because they help regulate humidity and purify the air we breathe. If you’re a proud plant parent, give your ” plant babies” a place to thrive with unique containers and plant holders from Goodwill at amazingly affordable prices. If you don’t have a green thumb, Goodwill stores often have faux plants and flowers you can add to your living space. At first glance, no one will know the difference!

Add lightweight texture and warmth to your living space with nature-inspired textures such as wood, rattan, and wicker. For example, woven wicker baskets make great ” statement” wall décor, or you can use them to store throw pillows and blankets in the living room or bedroom. Instead of paying full price on these trendy pieces at a traditional retail store, check Ohio Valley Goodwill first! With our ever-changing selection of gently-used home décor, you never know what you might find in one of our stores.

 

Soft lighting

With people spending more time in front of screens for work and entertainment at home, there’s a greater need for soft lighting to relax the eyes. When you’re thrift shopping at Goodwill, keep your eyes out for stylish table lamps to counteract the harsh blue light of digital screens and create a calming setting in your home for reading, crafting, or simply relaxing with the family.
