To obtain a "wow" factor when decorating your home, you must have something that is unexpected. Many homes have similar items, such as beige walls, furniture in a neutral color, and wall to wall carpeting. If you want your home to stand out from the crowd and have wow factor, consider the following decorating ideas. Pop of ColorWhen decorating your home, add a bold pop of color. Make sure the color is not one of the trendy colors that everyone has in their home. Instead, select a color that is bright, bold, and eye catching.

Invest in quality pieces that will last. Keep in mind that quality does not always mean more expensive. Consider shopping for vintage or antique items instead of new mass produced items for your home.
