Your home is more than just a place to sleep and eat; it’s a reflection of your personality and style. Homewares are a vital aspect of transforming your living space into a sanctuary full of life. Whether you’re looking to add new homewares or rearrange your existing pieces, small knicks and knacks can help you make your home feel more vibrant and alive.
With the right pieces, you can transform your living space into a warm and welcoming environment that reflects your personal style. In this article, we’ll explore some homeware ideas that make your home feel more lively.
Artwork
Artwork is an excellent way to add some character to your living space. It can be a bold statement piece or a collection of smaller prints grouped together, much like the Giraffe Triptych from our collection. Made of three panels, the Triptych is a sequence of pictures used to create a narrative.
Whatever your style, there’s sure to be an artwork that will fit your taste. When choosing artwork, consider the colour scheme of your space. Choose artwork that either complements your existing decor or a piece that adds a pop of colour.
Plants and Flowers
Introducing plants and flowers is one of the easiest ways to add life to your home. Plants purify the air, reduce stress, and increase productivity. Moreover, they also add colour to your living space.
Start by placing a small plant in a decorative pot on your windowsill or invest in a large plant to create a focal point in your living room.
If you don’t have a green thumb, consider faux plants like our Moth Orchid that look realistic and require no maintenance. Set in a glass vase, the orchid is a replica of an actual plant. Faux plants are also an excellent option for those with allergies or pets, as they won’t trigger any reactions.
Decorative Mirrors
Mirrors are versatile additions that add life to your living space. They not only create an illusion of space but also add a decorative element to your room.
Placing a large mirror in your living room or bedroom creates a focal point. Our Chatsworth Silver Mirror would make a wonderful addition to your living room.
Alternatively, you can place a small decorative mirror like our Aura Black Mirror on your shelves or console table to add interest.
Lighting
Lighting makes a massive difference in the ambience of your living space. But, instead of sticking to traditional overhead lighting, consider adding some unique fixtures. For example, a statement pendant light adds personality to your space and provides more focused lighting.
Alternatively, lamps create a cozy atmosphere. For example, table lamps can be placed on bedside tables or a side table in your living room, just like our Infinity Table Lamp. With its sleek and minimalist design, the Infinity Table Lamp blends seamlessly with any decor style, providing a warm and inviting glow to your space.
On the other hand, floor lamps provide soft lighting in a reading nook or illuminate a dark corner of the room. Our Highton Floor Lamp, with its chrome/black marble base and white sheen drum shade, adds a touch of modern elegance to any room.
Statement Rug
Adding a statement rug is an excellent way to transform your living space. A well-chosen rug like our Noble elevates the aesthetic of your space, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication that ties together all the elements of your decor.
In addition to adding style and texture, a rug also provides practical benefits. For instance, it protects your flooring from scratches and wear and tear, especially in high-traffic areas. It also makes your space more comfortable to walk on, especially if you have hardwood or tile flooring.
