Whether you just moved into a new home and are itching to decorate or you just want to add some flavor to your preexisting home décor, you can’t go wrong by playing with color, patterns or styles. If you’re nervous about doing so, start small and focus on a contained space like a single wall in a bedroom or bathroom or backsplash in your kitchen. 
To easily inject some personality into your home, read the following tips:
Wallpaper in unexpected places
Wallpaper trends come and go. Thankfully the 80’s technique of coordinating wallpaper with curtains and bedding and everything else imaginable is no longer a trend. However, taking a print and using it unpredictably where it turns heads without overwhelming the room tends to be just right and not too powerful.
Don’t have an actual headboard? No problem. Place a piece of removable wallpaper behind your bed instead. To complete the look try a floating shelf above the wall paper to add even more interest and style to the room.
Add color
Many of us tend to choose neutral colors for the walls to create a calming, clean and sophisticated atmosphere. To add a little personality to the neutral walls, try adding colorful accessories such as throw pillows, arm chairs, coffee tables with a bright base or even bright accent walls. If you really wanted to, you could always easily take the accessories away and go back to the neutral vibes you were once aiming for.
Patterned tile
A good way to add graphic interest to a room is by adding encaustic cement tile, which has been gaining popularity, according to New York Times. Try adding cement tiles with a cool medley pattern behind your kitchen sink or stove to add an element of interest.
Attention- grabbing print
If you want to completely transform a space rather quickly, bold wallpaper is your answer. If you have a dull and uninviting space, try adding attention – grabbing bold print to wake up the space.
