Three things every home needs

-

As much as I love interiors, I don’t think any of us should be buying new stuff every season. Instead, I believe in investing in key items and having those make the look. Here are three of my must-haves.

#1 An oversized mirror – the bigger, the better. The best part? You don’t have to scale down in a small space!

#2 A table lamp you love. Love colour? Build your colour palette around a bold-coloured lamp. You can also reupholste­r the shade of a lamp that might be looking a little tired.

#3 Your personalit­y, because your home should be a reflection of you. Bring in photos, plants, travel mementos, books and family heirlooms. The key here is to edit and display your items so they seem intentiona­l, and not like clutter.
