you're allowed to take shortcuts in life, especially if they make your house prettier. this is 31 home decor hacks that are borderline genius by peggy wang. 1. if you need an easy way to hang a curtain rod, use command hooks. so smart that if you live in a rental or are just plain too lazy

to drill a freakin' hole in the wall. get these little nice chrome ones from amazon. 2. repurpose your old rhinestone necklaces to make curtain tiebacks for a bohemian-inspired home. it's like a chandelier for your curtains!!! 3. easily switch out seasonal plants by placing your potted plants in pots. ah, the pot in pot method. so obvious it hurts your brain

that you didn't think of it first. 4. if you have an exposed closet or clothing rack, use colored tape to prettify your hangers. imagine a brightly colored sundress hanging off that striped one and you will be reminded that this is totally worth the effort. 5. use a hollowed-out book to hide an unsightly router. if you're averse to the idea of desecrating books

for the sake of home decor, try using a binder or a pretty photo album instead. 6. use a sharpie and draw a design on a light bulb to cast a neat shadow when the light is turned on. most kids will love it. 7. use an upside-down command hook on the backside of a door to hang a wreath. 8. jute rope is a cheap way to add a rustic/nautical touch to any window dressing.
