Are You a “Decorate It & Forget It” Person—or a Frequent Refresher?

Every home tells a story. For those of us at The-DSA, our stories are more like a seasonal magazine—changing, evolving, and full of fresh chapters. However, many of our clients prefer the Decorate It and Forget It mindset. They love to live in the same comforting story every time they walk through the door. So, here’s the big question:

Do you love decorating once and calling it done—or do you live for making frequent little updates?

Let’s talk about the pros and perks of both approaches—and how to decorate in a way that matches your personality.

🛋️ The “Decorate It & Forget It” Mindset

You love timelessness. You prefer quality items with long-lasting appeal. You’re practical, decisive, and you want your space to work for you long-term. Once it’s done—you don’t want to fuss with it. You’re not lazy, you’re smart with your time and energy.

✅ Signs This Might Be You:

• You research before you buy, and buy things built to last.
• You love classic styles over trendy ones.
• You prefer investing once instead of swapping out pieces constantly.
• Your dream home is calm, orderly, and finished.

🛠️ Decorating Tips for You:

• Stick to neutral bases with layered texture for longevity.
• Choose quality over quantity—opt for timeless furniture and fixtures.
• Let your personality shine in permanent-feeling details, like wallpaper, custom window treatments, or built-ins.
• Keep seasonal or holiday decorating very simple or nonexistent. A wreath and a throw blanket can go a long way! In fact, we have clients who take photos to recreate their holiday style exactly each year.

🎉 The Frequent Refresher

You thrive on change and creativity. Decorating is your creative outlet—and you’re not afraid to mix things up. You see your home as an ever-evolving canvas and your decorating lab. In fact, one of our most requested services is One Day Decorating for those who love quick changes.

✅ Signs This Might Be You:

• You rearrange furniture just for fun.
• You love the thrill of a great thrift store or HomeGoods find.
• You get inspired by decorating influencers and seasonal trends.
• You keep a bin of “maybe-I’ll-use-this-again” decor in your closet. Or… five bins.

🛠️ Decorating Tips for You:

• Use removable wallpaper or decals to experiment with bold looks.
• Keep your big-ticket items neutral so you can swap out accessories easily.
• Stock up on pillow covers, throws, vases, and wall art you can rotate.
• Decorate for the seasons to give yourself and your home a lift.

🧡 Bottom line-there’s No Wrong Way to Love Your Home

Whether you want your home to stay picture-perfect for years, or you’re constantly tweaking, fluffing, and restyling—it’s all about what makes you feel happy and at home.

👉 The key is decorating with intention—knowing your style and your personality so your space supports your lifestyle, not works against it.

You don’t need to chase every trend, and you don’t need to apologize for wanting everything just-so and staying that way.

Your home = your rules.

✨ Final Thought

Not sure where you land? Maybe you’re a hybrid—a “decorate it once, but with a few little seasonal flings” type. That’s okay too!

If you’re still figuring out your decorating rhythm, don’t worry—you’re in good company here. And no matter what your style, The-DSA is always sharing tips, tricks, and tools to help you create a space you’ll love coming home to.
