Houseplants help bring the outdoors inside and breathe life into any space. In addition to this, they help reduce stress, improve your mood and even boost your creativity. And the joy of seeing a new bud bloom is unmatchable. When you are choosing your plants, try to find ones that complement your décor. If you are not one to religiously remember to water your houseplants, opt for ones that require watering only at large intervals. Don’t forget to ask the nursery about sunlight requirements as well.

Mirrors

Mirror, mirror on the wall who’s the fairest of them all??? With the kind of creative and quirky mirrors in the market these days, the answer to that question will probably be “the mirror” itself. The known fact of course is that mirrors make your rooms look bigger. But with decorative mirrors available now, they are not simply a functional element anymore. Sure you catch a glimpse of yourself twenty times a day, but a mirror can be used to pull a room together. Arrange a group of interestingly shaped mirrors on one wall and make that the focal point of your room.

Throws

Throws seem to be a concept of the western world especially owing to our weather. But there is nothing that spells cosy more than snuggling up on the couch to watch TV wrapped in a throw (even a relatively thin one). Choose a woven fabric is a completely different shade from the colour scheme of your living area to add that pop of colour.

Rugs

Have you ever walked on a rug over and over just because you love the feel of it against your bare feet? Used for thousands of years now, carpets and rugs add a feel good factor to any room. Available in countless patterns, colours, styles and sizes, rugs can be used either under a coffee table or simply on their own. Each rug you pick out will have a personality of its own, so always measure your space before making a purchase.
