There are many elements to home design from how you arrange your furniture to what you have on the walls and how the lights operate. No matter what you prefer, you can use such a variety of colour, or lack thereof to make your home reflect your personality and feel cosy. The first thing you need to do is to decide what kind of mood and look you will like to have. Are you going traditional and rustic or modern and clean? Depending on what you prefer, will dictate how you proceed with the rest of your decoration style. Once you have this nailed down though, you can start thinking about what accessories can bring your home altogether. Here are just a few ideas for you to think about. 

Vases

Many people have vases in your home. They are probably one of the most used home accessories in all of history. They date all of the way back to the ancient world where they were made in Greece and Rome for holding food, medicine, and oils as well as for decoration. Vases have survived so long because of their versatility not only in use but in style as well. You could prefer a ceramic look or a Rattan vase to make your room come together. You could go back to the traditional use of storing oils and food in them or you can display flowers to add a sense of freshness to any room in your home. 

Teapots

Teapots are one of the most used items in the home. All around the world people reach for the teapot in times of comfort or in times of celebration. Whether you are going through heartbreak or looking to mark a special occasion then grabbing the tea is something that everyone does. Much like vases, they have been used for many years dating from the 16^th century in China. From there it has spread across the world and the world is grateful for it. Without the teapot, there may not be any afternoon teas. These are a great accessory for any home due to their variety in style from traditional to chic. 

Art 

This is always a tricky one to get right. However, the important thing to remember is that the art you display on your walls or in your home should reflect you and your personality. If you stick to this principle then you will soon find that you have a style and the pieces will all begin to gel together. There are a variety of different items you can get as well. You can look at small prints for the wall or larger more traditional portrait paintings. But you could also buy small sculptures to bring some texture to a room. Never buy a piece just because you think people will like it though, you will have to live with it. 

Rugs

Nothing makes a room cosier than a soft and fluffy rug beneath your home. They add a layer of warmth and comfort to your home and can be used against your stylish wooden floor. On top of this, there is a rug for every mood, colour, style and room. Depending on what you prefer, you can go for an antique rug with dramatic patterns or a more welcoming fluffy rug that will be comfortable enough to lay on. Think about the colour of your room and the floor. You will want your rug to stand out but not to be an eyesore. Spend time seeing which rug will work in your home before you purchase. 

Houseplants

Whilst many people have cultivated the houseplant, there has never been a time when they have been as popular as they are now. It is an inescapable conclusion that plants are good looking in any home and research has shown that they can even make you feel good. Plants remove carbon dioxide from the air and convert it to oxygen for you to breathe as well as neutralising harmful chemicals like formaldehydes. Plants have also been shown to decrease stress and can even improve your creativity. Plants are also versatile. There are so many different kinds with a variety of needs. They are not as demanding as you would think. 

Accessories for your home

Getting the style right in your home is a tough one. There is a lot to consider and so many different options. Remember that you don’t need to do it all at once. Spend time experimenting and working out what you want. Before you know it, your style will come together.
