What's a home without the details? No matter how great of furniture or fixtures your home has, it can't be the cozy place that shields you from the world without some home decor items. If you're looking to buy online home decor, you'll come across a million different things. So, what are the most important ones? You have the answer to that, but here are several suggestions that can help you start your shopping.

Start With Rugs

If you have just moved into a new place, or are redecorating your existing home, the easiest way to make a few changes is to get new carpets or rugs. They would instantly add warmth to the place and make the room more inviting, comfortable and cozy. Consider the size of the room where you want to place the carpet or rug; take precise measurements before buying anything.

Living Room

If you have your sofa against a wall, be sure that at least its front legs and the front legs of the bordering armchairs are on the rug. If you have a big living room with a floating seating area, the rug should welcome all furniture, front and back legs, with space around.

Dining Room

To get the right rug or carpet for your dining room, check the table’s size as your guide. Whether square or round, the rug should spread at least 60cm on all sides so even a pushed-back chair can fit within its range.

Bedroom

Large bedrooms can easily welcome larger rugs or carpets; they should fit under the entire bed and night tables and should have extra width on either side. If you have a smaller bedroom, the rug should cover around ⅓ of the bed’s base; you can also put small area rugs on either side of the bed.

Kitchen, Entryway and Outdoors

Narrower or smaller pieces are best for these areas; consider 60 x 90cm or 120 x 180cm. For outdoor use, choose a larger rug, especially if you're getting it for your backyard; if it's for a balcony or patio, measure the size precisely.

Mirrors

If you're buying online home decor, don't skip mirrors. They're an incredibly smart investment and not only for bathrooms but for any area of your home. A mirror can create an illusion of a bigger space, making even a small room look larger. It can also work as wall art, especially if it's in an unusual shape. However, you don't have to buy asymmetric mirrors; you can choose a set of smaller ones in any shape you want. Usually, people choose mirrors for their hallways, where the mirror will have a practical function, but will also reflect light. Place one above a fireplace, or on a wall where you want to add your wall art; it's especially practical for rooms that don't get enough natural lighting.

Photo Frames

No home decor shopping can go without photo frames. Sure, most of our best photos are in our camera reel, but nothing can beat a photograph framed and placed on a shelf, nightstand or desk. Photo frames won't ever go out of style and will always be the first thing people get to make their place a real home.

Planters

What's a home without plants? If you want to add some greenery inside your living space, don't forget to get suitable planters that will work as decor as well. Choose marble, clay or concrete planters in any colour you want. Invest in sleek and simple design if your home is in a modern or contemporary style. Choose monochromatic planters such as white, grey or black; no matter the colour palette of your home, they can fit easily without standing out. You can choose various shapes as well; rounded, square or rectangle are the most common, but if you're looking for something outstanding get a planter in the form of a hand, bird, head, etc.

Cushions

The most affordable way to change a room's vibe is to get new cushions. They are an affordable decor that can turn even the simplest bed, sofa or armchair into a welcoming, cozy place. You can experiment as much as you want when it comes to colours, materials and texture. Change your cushions for every season; for spring and summer choose light colours such as white, pink, yellow or green. For the colder months go for something darker such as grey, black, brown or deep red. You can even change your cushions for every holiday season. So for Christmas choose the classic red and green, but don't fear gold and silver colour as well.

Laundry Basket

The small details such as laundry baskets make the big picture of a bathroom. If you can't remodel or redecorate your bathroom, you can easily buy small accessories such as this. A laundry basket woven from stripped seagrass can add that natural touch to your bathroom; all your dirty laundry will be discreetly placed in there, and the basket will look like the decor.

Artificial Plants

If you aren't much of a plant parent and simply don't know or don't have the time to take care of your greenery, you can always buy artificial substitutes. They'll always look good and fresh, and will add a touch of nature to any part of your home. Choose several green hanging pearls and place them in your bathroom or kitchen; they can also look great on your balcony or backyard, but you can easily put them anywhere you want be it your living room or your bedroom. If your place is on the smaller side, you can hang these artificial plants on the ceiling and create a green "curtain" that separates the sleeping from the living area.
