Home may be where the heart is, but there’s truly nothing like a well decorated space that brings you a sense of peace and relaxation. While we admit that the fast pace of living in Singapore may not give us all the time we’d like to stay at home and bask in the beauty of our personal havens, this only means that weekends in become all the more precious—cue the Sex and The City marathons and popcorn in pyjamas. That said, if your home hasn’t exactly been living up to the original vision you had for your cozy abode, perhaps it may be time to give it a little upgrade by injecting a little personality.
Without completely overhauling your already existing furniture thematic, consider using decor items to give your home its own charm. Regardless of the interior style you’re vying to emulate, decorative pieces undeniably hold a latent power to transform a space from drab to fab with some smart placements and positioning. That said, the key to unlocking your home’s potential will therefore lie in your ability to cherrypick the best ornaments to give your home a little more pizzaz. Feeling overwhelmed with your options and have no clue where to start looking? Not to worry, we’ve got you covered—below, find our curation of the best homeware brands to get you started on your interior design journey.
