Liven Up Your Space With These 21 Hilariously Creative Home Decor Ideas

When it comes to decorating your home, you don't always have to take things seriously. In fact, you can still have a beautifully kept home, while also incorporating your sense of humor. A fantastic way to let your sense of humor shine in your living space is through quirky home decor. While the first thing that comes to mind when considering amusing home decor might be silly wall art, you don't have to splatter your walls with punny posters to make a statement, although there are certainly some great options for witty wall art out there. There are so many different home decor ideas that can infuse humor into your space, with items ranging from tiny accents like outlet decals, to statement-making shower curtains.

In addition to adding some flair to your home, many of these funny home decor items are just as functional as they are hilarious. And, while some items may lean more towards the silly side, some of these funny home decor finds are actually quite stylish. Without further ado, here are our favorite funny home decor ideas that'll leave you hard pressed not to crack a smile.

If you love music and have a good sense of humor, one funny home decor idea is to give your washer machine the appearance of a record player. This decor idea is also fairly simple, as all you need to do to get the look is to simply slap your favorite record sticker onto the circular window of the machine. To take it one step further, you can DIY a white record needle to really make it look like your washing machine is playing your favorite tunes on vinyl.

To boost both the self-confidence of the members of your household as well as overall laughter levels, you can put a Time Magazine Person of the Year mirror in your home. You can accomplish this by ordering a specially-designed mirror online, but if you're feeling creative, you can also DIY it with some paint or vinyl cutouts. Keep it small for a silly decorative accent, or completely swap out your large bathroom mirror to give yourself a silly boost of confidence while you prepare for the day ahead.

Though we have already acknowledged that wall art isn't the only way to add humor to a household, it certainly does have its place. For example, take this funny Bathroom Wall Decor from Etsy. Not only is it relatable, but it also has a fun and funky color scheme that can compliment an already colorful bathroom design or add a much needed pop of color to a space that's looking a bit drab and sterile. At the very least, it'll draw a chuckle out of any visitors.

Speaking of funny home decor that's also functional, how about this incredibly realistic Chinese takeout container Plant Pot for Indoor Plants? Since these pots already have a food theme, they are perfect for any houseplants you want to store on your kitchen counter. The planters even come with drainage holes and a set of chopsticks that you can toss into the soil to really complete the look. Since the planters are on the smaller side, they're perfect for succulents, herbs, and other mini houseplants.

Refrigerator magnets are useful for displaying important appointment reminders, treasuring children's artwork, and keeping your grocery list accessible. While they might serve a functional purpose, they don't need to be boring. A super simple home decor idea that will add some humor to your kitchen is to put up fun, themed magnets. Amazon has tons of cute fridge magnet options, from Cat Refrigerator Magnets to options with punny jokes on them. Since they're so small, refrigerator magnets are a great option for adding humor to your home if you're not looking to go particularly bold but still want to have fun.

Toilet paper storage doesn't have to be boring. There are nifty toilet paper storage side tables, macrame hangers, and a plethora of under-cabinet storage solutions. However, if you really want to infuse some humor into your bathroom, consider hanging something like this Wesayat Tic Tac Toe Toilet Paper Holder on the wall. Not only is this functional, but you can actually use the wrap to play tic-tac-toe with anyone else you share your bathroom with by taking a turn each time you use the bathroom.

Most people will probably recognize the melted clock from "The Persistence of Memory" by famous surrealist artist Salvador Dali.

In addition to providing a touch of creativity and humor in your space, these melting clocks can also help you keep track of the time.

Just because home decor is funny, it doesn't mean it has to be in your face. One super subtle yet creative home decor idea is to attach funny little hinge toppers to your door hinges.

They're difficult to notice at first glance, but guests are sure to comment on how adorable they are once they catch a glimpse.

Even if you're excited to host and spent time with your guests, it doesn't mean that you're prepared for an extended stay. If this is the case for you, consider picking up a welcome mat that's brutally honest, like this porch decoration that advises guests to be out at a reasonable hour. Not only is this welcome mat funny, it also sends a not-so-subtle message that introverted hosts may appreciate. Plus, it serves a functional purpose by keeping dirt and water from being tracked inside.
