Decor pieces need not be expensive to make a room visually-interesting and comfortable. Many spaces that are well-designed and calming are decorated by simple pieces that convey feelings of life, love, and warmth. The following list was curated with these elements in mind. If they are used well, these decor pieces will tie your home together like a photo out of a home magazine — even if you are living in student dormitories. The key is to tailor it to your style; use the decoration project of your space as a medium of self-expression and don’t buy anything unless it will improve the atmosphere of your home for your comfort.
Fairy lights, or Christmas lights, are one of the simplest items with which you can create a sparkling atmosphere. When used on their own in a dark room, it is easy to create a cozy environment for anybody who comes by to your room. When used with other lighting pieces, they add a hint of a scattered star effect. Either way, these tiny bulbs come together for a big impact. Their wire design allows you to wrap it around furniture, doorways, and windows in any way you choose. Get creative for a unique effect.
Make your sheltered indoor space feel like a tropical jungle with potted plants. Big or small, tall or short, potted plants will bring variations of nature’s decor pieces to create a visually interesting space. Visit a nursery and get inspired with possibilities for different house plants to buy. Prepare a list of requirements your space demands before you go shopping for a green baby and you will be able to choose a plant that matches your lifestyle easily. Light exposure, temperature, and humidity of your home are all important elements to consider when picking a plant.
A simple way to transform your home into one that is warm and full of love is to feature photographs of you favourite people in prime wall-hanging space. Decor pieces from the fanciest shops cannot compete with the happiness you will feel when you see the smiling faces of your friends and family everyday. Do not be afraid to put up landscapes that act as sparkling gems that embody the memories from your favourite trips. They do not necessarily need to feature people to be great photos. If you want to fancy the photos up to match the existing decor pieces in your home, shop around for frames that match your style. Just remember that captured smiles and memories on their own serve as great decor pieces.
If you’ve got a dingy room that you would like to spruce up quite quickly, consider getting a rug that will complement your personality well. In addition to fancy ones in neutral shades and interesting textures, there are many rugs out there that feature adorable cartoon animals. Just by bringing one home and laying it on the floor of your room, your space will be transformed (especially if you choose something dramatic like faux sheepskin or a neon green shaggy throw.) Have a look around for a great deal you may find during a sale.
