Create A Centrepiece
One of the best examples of a centrepiece is a glossy clear glass coffee table, always a popular feature in many people’s homes. A centrepiece draws the viewers eye to a certain point, gold or monochrome furniture also works well for this.
Add A Metallic Shimmer
Copper has been one of the most used trends this year, bringing moody hues and a dark, intense glamour to any room. Geometric designed lamps or ornaments are commonly formed from copper because if the delicate shimmering touch it brings to the space.
Use Pastel Colours
Pastel colours are a wonderful way to add a little luxe to your home. Look into the types of blinds and hard furnishings you can find in pastel colours to keep it a permanent, bright feature in your home. Blush pinks and soft yellow’s work well, particularly when partnered with deep maroons or dark blues.
Marble Accessories
Marble accessories are a quick way of taking your home décor to the next level. No, it doesn’t need to be real marble! Even marble coated worktops or tables look incredibly sleek and stylish. White marble also lifts the room, a great addition to any room that may not get as much sunlight.
Invest In Artwork
It doesn’t need to be expensive or elaborate pieces, but the addition of artwork can make your room look more refined and sophisticated. The great thing about artwork is that it fits into any theme, in any room. Shop around for pieces that you think will suit your home, it could even be something you buy from a local artist.
Fresh Flowers
Greenery and fresh flowers make the home feel alive and vibrant. Pick a few succulents that require very little care to place in your kitchen and bathroom. Save fresh flowers for rooms where you entertain your guests like your living room or the hallway for a superb scent as soon as you enter.
