Before we go any further, I have to ask: do you actually hate decorating? Or is it more that you don’t like feeling overwhelmed by a blank slate (or white wall)? If you’re in the second camp, I recommend taking the time to strategize your home decor game plan: set goals, <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/renovations/photos/how-to-create-your-own-budget-friendly-home-reno-without-a-contractor-1923427/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">make a budget</a> and map out the types of changes you want to make.

Sometimes, we get so wrapped up in how a room looks that we forget how it’s actually going to function — which can be a big mistake!

I see it all the time: people hear the word “decorating” and their eyes glaze over with visions of shelves stuffed with knick-knacks and layers upon layers of throw pillows. The thing is, decorating doesn’t have to be complicated — less can definitely be more — and you don’t have to fill every single bit of space with decor.

Never underestimate the power of lightening up. Changing or adding a <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/tags/lighting/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lighting element</a> levels up the design factor of a space — both through the look of the fixture and the way the light impacts the overall mood of the room.

If you have the space in the kitchen, <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/decorating/photos/lighting-trends-transform-a-room-1917503/#currentSlide=8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">opt for two larger pendant lights over the kitchen island</a> (rather than three smaller pendants) for a more dramatic lighting selection. <br><br> Related: <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/decorating/photos/lighting-trends-transform-a-room-1917503/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The 8 Coolest Lighting Trends That Will Transform Any Room </a>Decorating17 Foolproof Decorating Tips for People Who Hate DecoratingA Light Touch
