Small Decor Items To Elevate Your Home

The devil really is in the details, particularly when it comes to interior design. You can buy perfectly matching furniture to fill your living room and still wonder why it doesn’t feel ‘homely’. It really is the accessories that help to add a hint of your personality and style. Our stunning range of animal doorstops should be your first point of call when it comes to accessories, but here are some other ways to brighten up your home.

1. Accent Lighting

Natural light is always the best way to brighten up any room, but sometimes a small tabletop lamp can really help to add a little warmth. With so many different designs and colours to choose from, a lamp can add an artistic element to a room too. Try to stray away from overhead lights (unless they are on a dimmer), soft lighting is always a better option.

2. Memorabilia

Adding accessories which have a story to tell is always a great way to brighten up your home. It also gives you a talking point when you invite friends or family over too. Whether you have an item you have collected during your travels, a family heirloom, or some vintage collectables, add them to your decor!

3. Seasonal Books

We have all seen those perfectly placed expensive candles and diffusers on a coffee table, but adding some colour to your living space doesn’t have to cost the earth. Even just a few brightly coloured, well-placed books can do the job. Choose something seasonal so that you can have new colours for the different times of the year. For example, more colourful books in summer and warmer colours for autumn and winter.

4. Throws or Blankets

Textures are a great way to add something different to your living space. Too much of the same fabric can make your home feel dull, particularly if you have heavy items of furniture or sofas. Adding a coloured throw will help lighten the place up, as well as providing extra cosiness in the winter months!

5. Wildlife

Bringing the outdoors in always gives a room that relaxing vibe. Whether you choose to bring the farmyard into your home, like with this stunning brooding hens draught excluder, or some greenery for a fresh look. If you really struggle to keep plants alive, then you may want to opt for faux plants and trees otherwise it will defeat the object!

6. Mirrors

When added to a small space, mirrors really help to accentuate the area as they bounce light around the home. Turn your mirrors into statement pieces by adding them above a console table in the hallway, or a mantelpiece in the living room. Lots of different options to make your home brighter.

7. Sculptural Pieces

Adding height to your furniture is a great way to make it feel complete. Adding sculptural elements to your tabletop will give a real artistic touch to your home as well as adding an extra dimension. Get people talking with a stunning centerpiece!
