Home accessories and finishing touches

Whilst furniture and paint colours set the foundation, it's the accessories that truly bring a space to life. Accessories are like the finishing strokes of a masterpiece, adding character, personality, and a sense of completeness to your home decor. Here are some tips and ideas to help you put the perfect finishing touches on your living space.


Start with a Neutral Base: Before diving into accessorising, you ideally want to establish a neutral base in your room's colour scheme and furniture. Neutral walls and furniture create a versatile canvas for your accessories to shine.


Balance and Symmetry: Achieving balance and symmetry is key to successful accessorising. For example, if you have a large piece of artwork on one side of the room, balance it with a similarly sized accessory on the other side, like a tall faux potted plant or a decorative mirror.


Mix Textures: Incorporate a variety of textures to add depth and visual interest. Consider plush cushions, woven throws, ceramics, and glass. Textured ceramic vases and faux flowers are an easy way to create a tactile and visually appealing space.

Showcase Personal Items: Your home is a reflection of your personality, so don't forget to incorporate personal items into your decor. Display family photos, heirlooms, or travel souvenirs on shelves or in elegant frames.


Use Lighting Wisely: Lighting is a critical accessory that often gets overlooked. Incorporate table lamps, floor lamps, and even string lights to create different moods and illuminate specific areas of your home.


Play with Colours: Add pops of colour through accessories like throw pillows, vases, artificial flowers and artwork. These vibrant accents can breathe life into a neutral room.


Layer Rugs: Layering rugs can add depth and define different zones within an open-concept living space. Experiment with various textures, patterns, and sizes to create a visually dynamic area.

Artificial Flowers: Use faux flowers and foliage to create visual interest and to promote a sense of nature and wellbeing within the home. Artificial floral displays are perfect for creating seasonal themes within the home and can be stored away ready to use next year.

Artificial Plants: Use faux plants throughout the home for a low-maintenance and cost -effective alternative to real plants. The great thing about faux plants is that you can use them throughout the house without having to worry about watering, insects and plant food.






Edit and Rotate: Finally, remember that less can be more. Don't clutter your space with too many accessories. Periodically edit and rotate your decor items according to the seasons to keep your home feeling fresh and exciting.


Accessorising your home is where your unique style and personality truly shine through. It's the stage where you can infuse your space with character, warmth, and individuality. Play around and have fun with it!
