Enhance your home by incorporating these living essentials
Whether it is a wall full of mirrors or a vintage framed mirror, this item will always create the illusion of a larger space, as it is very useful in adding more light and feature to your living space. In addition to adding colour and texture, plants are an inexpensive way to clean household air and balance the climate in the room. They can also absorb pollutants and harmful gases from the air. Before you run to the store to get ‘something new’, take a look at what you already have. Trays, old vases, decorative coasters and candleholders can add dimension and texture to your living space. Family bequests remain an important part of your home. It is perfectly fine to place that old trinket passed down to you next to your contemporary living room set. It represents who you are. Throw rugs give warmth and can add great texture, colour and personality to your living space. The possibilities with rugs, much like slip covers, are endless. You can mix it up with different patterns or textures or even use them as a statement to reflect the seasons.
