Stylish Home Decor For The Look You Love

Have you been looking for home decor that gives your home a designer look, but you’re not sure where to begin? Perhaps you think it will cost the earth. Maybe you’re not sure which pieces look good together? The good news is that Amart’s range of home decor will give you designer looks at affordable prices and we’ll talk you through how they work together below.

What is home decor?

Home decor refers to the decorative items you keep in your home. Some of these pieces have a function, such as cushions, photo frames and vases, while others are purely for decoration, such as wall art and statues.

Examples of the types of home decor items found in our range of homewares include:

• Wall decor
• Indoor planters
• Rugs
• Cushions
• Curtains and blinds
• Lamps
• Vases

Different styles of home decor

DIY coordinating your home decor items to achieve the interior design style you’d like to create is simpler than you might think. If you’re starting with a blank slate, start by choosing a style. If you’re working with your existing furniture and decor, work out the style you’ve already got so you can shop all items within that scope.

Then, when making your choices, it’s a matter of questioning whether the textures, tones and style of the pieces you’re choosing tie into your theme.

Popular home decor styles include:

1. Moroccan - characterised by rich colours, arabesque motifs and geometric patterns.
2. Coastal - inspired by coastal living in Australia, this style uses natural colours and textures like linen, rattan and jute.
3. Hamptons - fresh white and blues in timeless designs.
4. Glam luxe - pops of metallic finishes and luxury textiles like velvet and faux fur.
5. Industrial - bold and edgy leather, polished concrete, velvet and chunky knits.
6. Scandi - simply fresh, no-fuss, minimalist feels.
7. Mid-century - decor in the style of mid-20th-century furniture that’s synonymous with clean lines, practicality and minimalism.
8. Modern contemporary - sleek and serene combining a monochromatic colour palette, minimalist design and natural materials.
9. Traditional - timeless and comfortable pieces that aren’t overly fussy or fancy.

Home decor is used alongside functional furniture items such as lounges and dining suites to tie all elements together and create one particular home decor style. You can further enhance your look with decorative accessories such as candle holders, lanterns, platters and statues.

Home decor to suit every interior

If you’re looking for a lamp to suit your Hamptons entryway or a mirror that works with your mid-century-themed home office, you can shop online using Amart’s handy search filters to quickly get to the style of decor and furniture you want.

Style your living area with our range of home decor

If you’re styling your living room, work within the style created by your larger furniture items such as sofas, coffee tables, side tables, armchairs and bookshelves. Then use these colours and materials as your base to shop for complementary decor pieces such as ottomans, table lamps, cushions, throws and wall decor.

When styling a dining room, take in all the surfaces. Could you put together an eclectic mix of photos and art prints to create a gallery wall above the buffet? Or hang a statement wall clock? You could place a real or artificial plant and candle holder on your sideboard and a floor lamp in the corner. When it comes to styling your tabletop for dinner parties, dress your tabletop with beautiful placemats, glass votives, decorative tableware platters and dinnerware.

Choosing home decor pieces for different rooms

Have fun mixing and matching homewares for different purposes and rooms. The home decor items you’d select for indoor rooms will differ greatly from those in your outdoor spaces, but here are some simple ideas for both.

In a bedroom, you might like to place a glass vase next to a jewellery box on your dresser along with a diffuser of your favourite home fragrance. Pick up the colours of your quilt cover in a statement painting hung above your bed or on the opposite wall. Create a plush display of welcoming cushions on your bed in complementary patterns and textures.

An outdoor living space calls for some of the comforts you enjoy in your interior spaces, only they’ll need to be made from weatherproof materials. Outdoor rugs do a great job of zoning your outdoor furniture. A rug placed under your outdoor lounge setting brings welcoming warmth to the space and defines it as separate from your outdoor dining setting. Finish the look with a pot plant centrepiece on your table and an outdoor umbrella for a resort look.

Why home decor is meaningful

The home decor you choose should be something you find uplifting in some way. It might be nice to look at. Or something that makes you feel calm. It could be your favourite colours in a collection of cushions and wall art in your living space. The pieces you surround yourself with affect your mood and headspace.
