While the basic job of a decor item is to uplift your home's aesthetic beauty, why stop at that when you can have the decor define your personality? You can go with quirky pieces that only make sense to you or elegant and refined items to showcase your sophisticated side. Chaotic artwork or messy lines of a sculpture are good options, too. But if you'd like to flaunt your funny side, you need to invest in decorations that elicit laughs from you and your family or, at the very least, bring a smile to their faces. However, investing in a neon light that spells "comedy" or items centered around crude jokes might land the wrong way.

You need items that are truly funny without being mean or demeaning. For instance, a rug that looks like a hole in the floor is sure to draw attention and make people laugh. That being said, always ensure that there's a relation between your decor and the place where you're displaying it. Otherwise, the joke will fall flat. Decor with inside jokes is fine, too, but don't display them everywhere if you want your family and friends to relate to them. Ready to get started? Here are 20 home decor items that made us laugh through 2025, and ways you can incorporate similar items in your home.

Ever heard of the saying, "happy wife, happy life"? These pillow covers simplify the concept and offer a basic roadmap of what a marriage actually looks like. Although a little on the nose, these covers are a far cry from the basic, sappy ones you usually find in most homes. This makes them a great option if you're looking to add some practical decor options to your bedroom. It can even serve as a day-to-day tongue-in-cheek reminder to your partner that they aren't allowed to make any big life decisions without your consent.

If you house a few chickens in your backyard, chances are you're quite familiar with their silly antics. And things can get especially crazy if you add a couple of flamboyant roosters into the mix. This rustic flag with the realistic text on it serves as a reminder of the coop's inhabitants and what you can expect from them — craziness galore. Hang it over the coop or in its general vicinity to warn strangers about your funny chicks and get a laugh out of them.

Hosting isn't a simple endeavor. Besides taking care of the food, drinks, and entertainment for guests, you need to present a clean house or potentially subject yourself to judgment. Now, when you have prior notice, you can tuck away certain things before your guests arrive. But what happens when you have surprise visitors? Instead of participating in lightning-fast cleaning and decluttering, plop down this amusing sign to make light of the situation. It can even come in handy when you don't want to deep clean your house simply because you'll have guests over.

Cats are fascinating creatures. Even though you might treat them to luxurious goods and serve them three square meals a day, they may still ignore you when the mood strikes them. In case you need to prepare your guests in advance or want other cat owners to commiserate your pain, a cheeky sign declaring your tiny ninja's ability to ignore people will do the trick. Place it somewhere near your entryway so your visitors know it's not them; it's your cat's inherent state of disinterest.

The basic premise of any zombie apocalypse movie or show is that the survivors band together to live another day and slay the monsters. However, if you're a bigger fan of self-preservation and would rather not give your friends and family false hope, air your intentions before they center their survival plans around you. This quirky home decor will double as a conversation starter and get you some laughs, too. You might also learn if someone else is planning to abandon ship or secretly investing in a doomsday bunker.

Finding new ways to surprise your mom every Mother's Day can be a tall task. Although flowers and dresses have their place, gifting them something humorous will make them smile every time they look at it. For instance, this decorative tea towel can be a perfect gift if you were a naughty kid and your shenanigans stressed out your mother. But only copy this idea if you're prepared to disclose your mischief and finally confess to all the "dumb stuff" you indulged in as a kid.

You may have seen plaques relaying important events that took place on a particular day or year. But if you don't have anything vital to declare about yourself or your house, go the comical route and declare that nothing critical took place. The key here is to pick a date or year that will grab the attention of your readers at the beginning and entice them to read the plaque till the end. Be prepared to answer follow-up questions regarding your house and the usefulness of the plaque.

Plants are a powerful yet understated decor element. However, if you want to make yours the center of attention, simply adhering to their light and water requirements won't be enough. An easy way to grab eyeballs is to drape your hats over your potted plants. This will also protect them from the sun's extra bright rays and you won't have to move them further indoors. Win-win! Remember to put a hat on one or two pots only, or the final result won't seem too exciting.

Loading your dirty clothes in the washer might not be your favorite chore. But if you let the laundry pile up in your overflowing hampers, you'll eventually run out of clean garments to wear and may have to walk about in your ballgown or birthday suit. To ensure that doesn't happen, hang a sign reminding you of what's at stake. You can either mount it in your laundry room or over your hamper to laugh sardonically whenever you eye it and set aside some time to wash your clothes.

You don't have to always shout at your kids to get them to quit their antics. Sometimes, a nonverbal warning can be quite effective, too. You just need to craft a wall-hanging sign that's menacing enough to get them behaving like civilized beings. Brownie points if it's funny, like this sign. Sadly, this functional decor won't work on your younger children who are yet to master their reading skills.

Why have basic candles lining your shelves when you can replace them with funny ones? You just need to find ones that tickle your funny bone, like this lavender-scented one. However, if you have just bought a few new candles, look for removable stickers instead to up their fun quotient. And in case you have a few napkins with inappropriate jokes on them, feel free to turn your basic candles into statement pieces with a stunning paper napkin hack.

Adulting comes with a lot of responsibilities. Moving out of your parents' home, finding a stable source of income, taking care of your new abode, figuring out daily meals, and washing your dirty laundry are just a few things you need to be on top of. And if you aren't a big fan of any of the activities or find that adulting isn't all it's cracked up to be, leave it a bad rating. Bring the review home and let it grace your living room to draw laughs out of your guests.

Whether you're thinking of embellishing a lone piece or creating a cutting board gallery in your kitchen, these common thrift items make for unique home decor. Need it to garner laughs? Stick a funny decal on a thrifted board and place it near your stove or microwave. You can go with lengthy quotes, famous movie dialogues, or subtle yet powerful lines like "That's what she said," from "The Office." If you find it difficult to pick just one, mix and match several elements across multiple boards for a comical display.

Although the Unusuall 3D Optical Illusion Rug doesn't seem funny at first glance, it can be a source of great laughs in your home, especially with first-time visitors. A little reminiscent of the space-time continuum, this rug will make people jump away from the "black hole" trying to pull them in. You'll also have fun seeing your pets interacting with it. Place a mirror in front to allay people's fears or add more futuristic decor in your home so the rug fits right in.

In case you live and breathe drama, Shakespeare can help you accept that part of your identity. In fact, the bard may even assist you in coming to terms with the fact that you're the drama llama that keeps stirring the pot in everyone's life. Position the decor piece near your workspace if you want to actively stop being drama personified, or let it serve as a reminder of who you are deep within and who you must be to keep your job and pay your bills.

Does your dog have a favorite place — besides the toilet when you're not looking — it likes defecating in (or, rather, on)? Make it memorable with a funny plaque. You can even have your dog's name engraved on it to let everyone know who the recommendation is coming from. Otherwise, let people assume the worst. It's your choice. Just ensure you cover the plaque whenever you see your dog sitting there with a sheepish expression on its face, or you'll have a hard time cleaning poo out of the ridges and stars.

Using the toilet in someone else's house can feel awkward. This holds especially true if you're used to your upgraded toilet. So, make it easier for your guests to use the commode in your home by hanging cheeky wall art overhead. On a tight budget? Get a basic frame from Dollar Tree and print out a funny picture with a comical quote, and put it in before mounting it in place. However, don't get too rowdy, or you'll further complicate the matter.

Having guests over can be fun and relaxing. But things can take a turn if they overstay their welcome and start finding ways to spend more hours in your home. Worse, it'll be difficult for you to ask them to leave. After all, you don't want to be rude to them. In such cases, let a funny sign do your dirty work and motivate your visitors to leave before you start noticing their annoying presence in your home. Ensure it's clearly visible, or you won't succeed.

While it's necessary to display your house number properly, nobody said you couldn't have a little fun with it. And a cat poking fun at passersby with its tongue sticking out is a simple way to creatively display your house number. Best of all, it'll garner laughs without offending people. Some may even be tempted to stick their tongue out in response to get back at the cat, so don't forget to invest in a doorbell with a video recording feature that captures head-to-toe footage.

Working on DIY projects can be a rewarding experience. However, if you need something to brighten your monotonous days and coax a laugh out of you when you're busy hot gluing your next decor project, a fun piece of art might just be what you need. To go the extra mile, darken the spot in front of the artwork and try sprinkling a little soil around to give the impression of a dug hole. Don't forget to place a spade nearby to really sell the story.
