Wall Art

Walls are platforms for display and you have limitless options for them. From canvas art prints to posters, there’s no end of wall art pieces to hang in your home.

A good tip to remember here is that wall art is best used to accentuate the look or theme of your room. Used right, it plays an important role in the overall design and feel of a space. 

Some of the most popular ways to use wall art include the following: 

  • As a statement piece
  • To add a pop of colour to an otherwise “neutral” room 
  • To repeat a colour or pattern that’s already part of the room’s theme
  • To express the homeowner’s personality

Wall art can be a great way to add character to your home, as you see. Try to look for wall art that you can use to make your space your own.

Plants

Plants represent another popular home decor item. It’s not hard to see why: they offer a range of benefits, from improved air quality to aesthetic appeal. 

Plants are recommended if you want to bring a touch of nature into your home. This can create a peaceful and calming environment, which can improve your mood and well-being.

Fortunately, they also come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colours. You can have everything from a potted ficus to a small tray of succulents. 

If you choose the right indoor plants, you won’t have too much trouble in terms of maintenance either. Just make sure you pick ones with the sort of upkeep you can actually provide.

Mirrors

Mirrors tend to be among the top home decor items in Singapore. That’s because mirrors are instrumental to making a space look larger and are thus recommended for small homes and apartments on our tiny island.

This already tells you that mirrors offer both practicality and style. Their reflections create the illusion of space and can also brighten up rooms with limited natural light.

We also use mirrors daily to get ourselves ready for the day. That only adds to their practical value.

As for aesthetics, mirrors now come in all shapes and sizes. You can even get mirrors with highly intricate frames and premium frame materials for decoration. 

Noticed the people putting gilded mirrors in editorial photo shoots? That shows you that you can use mirrors for decor!

Decorative Accents 

Accent furniture is anything that stands out against the rest of the space’s decor or style. Here, we’re referring to home decor items used specifically for things like that, e.g. candles, vases, and trays.

The idea here is to get pieces that are aesthetically pleasing so that they can fill up empty space. Each piece should add that extra touch of style you need to complete a room.

That being said, accent pieces can obviously be functional too. Candles can obviously be used for lighting or scent therapy, for instance, while vases can hold things like flowers. As for trays, they can be used for organisation or decluttering.

Rugs 

Finally, we come to rugs. Rugs come in a wide variety of colours, patterns and styles – and are easily among the most important decor pieces for any home.

A rug can outdo a lot of other decor thanks to its impact. Rugs take up space in a way that focuses attention, which is why they are generally used as focal points in rooms. You see them serving as the focal point for a lot of living room sets, for instance.

Rugs are hugely versatile too, as they come in such a wide range of types, looks, and sizes. One rug may be better used as a statement piece, another as a way to tie together other parts of a room’s decor. 

At the same time, a rug can be functional, protecting floors, stifling sounds, protecting children’s knees, and even adding the level of comfort a place needs to go from “house” to “home”.

We suggest using rugs to add a layer of depth, texture and comfort to spaces, making them cosier and more inviting. You can also use rugs to define the spaces in a room (to illustrate what we mean, check out our article on area rugs here).
