    15 Home Decor Tips From Joanna Gaines That You'll Want To Steal Immediately

    Shiplap (and Instagram!) queen ✨

    Any HGTV-lover knows Joanna is one of the most inspiring designers on the planet — but have you followed her personal Instagram?

    It's packed with smart decorating and organizing ideas that anyone could pull off.

    Here are a few of the best:

    1. Set up a corner that brings you joy wherever it is you work most of the time.

    This includes the laundry room, too, if that's where you spend any significant portion of your week!

    2. Use chalkboards or letter boards for easy ways to share quotes you love that you can change later.

    3. Sometimes those $20 Amazon deals are too good to be true.

    4. Choose ~skinnylap~ instead of shiplap for a modern vibe.

    5. Or even *black* shiplap.

    6. When the clutter craziness descends, find ways to have fun with it and send silly photos to friends.

    7. Gather greenery from ~nature~ instead of looking for the perfect branch in the stores.

    8. Hang a clothes bar (or a tension rod) above your washer-dryer so you can hang both plants and anything you need to dry.

    9. Encourage kids to contribute their own decorating touches, especially to their spaces.

    10. Have something that you need to do multiple times per week? Draw up a weekly schedule that you can reference through the month.

    11. Choose lower-maintenance plants if you're a beginner or busy indoor gardener.

    12. Stick leftover basil in a bouquet for extra fragrance.

    13. Plant flowers that attract butterflies, bumblebees, and hummingbirds under your windows.

    14. Don't skip planning and brainstorming, whether you're redecorating your kitchen or just organizing your pantry.

    15. And when things don't go the way you planned, let yourself be frustrated and take a break!
