5 top items in home decor

So often when decorating, we focus on what’s on the floor and neglect our walls. With the huge range of affordable wall art on the market now, you can find a large scale piece that looks fabulous without breaking the bank.

We often harp on about the importance of lighting and not just relying on ceiling lights to illuminate our homes. Table and floor lamps cast softer light and reduce harsh shadows in our home — and they can be a decor piece in their own right!

If you ask us, there’s no better way to get bang for buck when decorating than by simply switching over your cushions. They’re a great way to introduce a new colour palette into a room or add more texture. Our hot tip, switch the regular foam cushion inserts over to feather inserts for a more luxe look and added comfort!

You know how obsessed we are with candles so this one was definitely going to be on the list! Candles add ambience to a home in a way few other decor pieces can because it works on our sense of smell. Look for ones made from soy wax and natural fragrances to avoid bringing toxins into your home.

Add that homely feel and display your personal interests with books. These look great in a bookshelf (obviously!), on a coffee table, bedside table and just about any other surface area you can think of. Our go-to store to buy books is The Book Depository, with free worldwide shipping and over 20 million books in their collection.
