Hipster Decor Ideas You Won't Get Sick Of

Population Salon in San Francisco's NoPa neighborhood is not your average salon, that's for sure. Ever corner of the space is decorated with pieces any home would be lucky to have. Just look at these brass light fixtures. Their unique shape instantly catches your attention but also creates an inviting space. You can pair a similar fixture with indoor plants or a spunky print for the ultimate cool space.

The other side of Population Salon's entrance is just as impressive. Flags and marquee lights have all the makings of a hipster spot, but here's proof that you can upgrade the look with classic pieces like a tufted brown chair and piano. Plus, using instruments as decor is always a fun touch.

Just a couple of blocks down from Salon Republic sits a design store called The Perish Trust. Look up and you see mirror panes covered with slim lightbulbs, an idea we can't wait to try. Makes you feel like you're at a carnival — and we mean that in the best way possible.

There are so many ideas to steal from this eclectic setup. Displaying textiles on industrial rods as art? Genius! Tying branches together as accent pieces . . . why not? Showing off pillows on floating shelves? Don't have to tell us twice.

We've said it before and we'll say it again: try using ladders as decor for an unexpected trick. Also think about pairing complementary colors when styling larger items like blankets.

Wander just a few feet away from The Perish Trust, and you'll stumble upon The Mill, one of the city's hippest coffee shops. As soon as we stepped in, we couldn't stop staring at the incredible overhead lighting. Surely there's a way to DIY this rope-bulb masterpiece. Something else we want to copy? The layout of those gorgeous open cabinets.

Of course, San Francisco's NoPa neighborhood isn't the only one brimming with inspiration. Head to the Mission District, and a cafe called Blue Fig will open up your world to outdoor decorating ideas. We loved the simple but beautiful brass planters stacked on top of one another and the accompanying string lights. (We know how good those look all year-round.)

If you've ever viewed rusted sheets of metal as nothing but an eyesore, this might make you think twice. Paired with sleek wooden structures, lush greenery, and naked pipes, they make a modern statement all your picket-fence friends will be jealous of.

At the Voyager Shop in the Mission, we discovered a fun, unique way to display jewelry — using small nails to hang necklaces and bracelets against a large slab of wood. The bigger the better!

And instead of hiding blankets, why not display 'em by stacking them on a low piece of furniture or off the ground? Throw a heavy decorative object on top to act as a pretty paperweight.

Another "crazy" idea you should consider? Funky fixtures like this pots-and-pans one inside Cafe Sophie in the Castro neighborhood. It's not for everyone, sure, but risk takers will appreciate how eye-catching it is and might even want to DIY it.

An art piece inside the cafe stands out from the rest because of the added paintbrush. Try it the next time you get sick of the prints on your walls. Better yet, why not search through cabinets or drawers for another unique accessory that deserves a bit of the spotlight?
