Add some bling to your home
Without accessories, a home is pretty much like you would be if you left without any jewellery. Adding bling with accessories is an affordable and fun way to dress up a home for everyday living. So the next time you go shopping for home decor, think about what your home needs for a bit of bling.
Add a mix of small and large cushions to your living room sofa
Not only adding textural content to your living spaces, cushions add colour and interest. Mix it up with small and large cushions, with smaller, more expensive embellished cushions at the front. Or grab some old t-shirts and make your own decorative cushions. You can also use fabric or felt to make decorative petal cushions for your home.
No matter what you style or colour scheme, most home decor stores offer a variety of colours, textures and patterns.

Add another layer with rugs
Rugs are the perfect decor accessory for adding a level of comfort to any space. Plus, you can use plain rugs to add colour and texture, or woven rugs with a decorative pattern to add colour and interest.
Choosing the right rug involves looking at the space and deciding what elements you want to add. Keep it neutral with a plain rug, or boost the space with a modern design.
Light up the night
Layered lighting that is functional and sculptural has become one of the most dynamic design trends of the 21st century. So much so, that in some interior designs the light itself is the star feature.
While general lighting or central ceiling light don't offer much in the way of lighting or design, replacing this with a stunning chandelier or dramatic pendant will set the stage for evening drama.
Think out of the box when it comes to lighting for your home. You don't necessarily need to spend a fortune on custom lighting if you use creative thinking and easily available materials. Remember our coke bottle chandelier, whisk pendant lamps and paperclip chandelier?

Have fun with accessories
Don't underestimate the power of a few select accessories. More often than not these pieces can be the finishing touch to any decor scheme.
Home decor stores keep up with the trends by offering colourful and stylish accessories that harmonise with modern colour schemes and with any style of home decor.
Shop for inexpensive pieces that can be swapped and changed with the seasons, but invest in at least a couple of pieces that reflect your personality and set the tome for your roomscape. Not only giving you pleasure, these pieces are what make a house a home.
