Artificial Plants

Most of us are good with looking after plants but having them indoors can be a bit of a task. Consider the muddy water stains on the floors and walls and not to mention insects and mosquitoes making their way into your home. 

When you think of plants, and minus all the efforts, you’ve got artificial plants!

Faux plants are a great way of giving your house a fresh look without worrying about a plant’s life. 

Another great thing about artificial plants is that they come in fabrics like silk and are not limited to being plastic. So for those of you that live in a plastic-free household, fabric artificial plants are the perfect choice for you!

They aren’t just limited to resting on your floor. Apart from potted artificial plants, you can also get hanging planters to add some structure to the higher portion of walls that look empty.

If the decor and aesthetics of your home are minimalist; or have a bohemian or neutral-colored look, and you are looking to add a pop of color, green plants make all the difference.

You don’t have to worry about it fitting well with the different shades of your room.

The luscious green plants with varying heights and at different positions at your house add so much texture and dimension. Regardless of their shape and size, they add such a vibrant and fresh look to your home. Not to mention they look extremely sophisticated! 

Tapestry 

When you enter a room, and your eye catches a beautiful embroidered or woven piece of cloth hanging on the wall, you automatically know that the people of that house have a great sense of design and style! 

Tapestries are the most glorious pieces of art in any house. The owners of the house might have the most comfortable furniture, but a creative piece of history-woven tapestry doesn’t go unnoticed.

They surely bring a rustic look to a rather modern space. They have an intricate style with a history of different cultures.

Although tapestries have been used since ancient times, they are still appreciated all the same by artists, interior designers, and admirers of art.

Your choice of tapestry doesn’t necessarily have to resemble the ancient churches and buildings of Europe. There is the freedom to pick any design, prints, and art that is best suited for your home. Only minimal work goes into hanging a tapestry but an endless stream of compliments that would follow!

Carpets or Rugs

You wouldn’t want to leave a wall empty now, do you? Paintings, picture frames, and many more fill the space to add structure and design.

Apart from the red carpet we see at events, and other creatively designed carpets are sometimes not given the attention they deserve! 

Carpets, both plain and colored, serve their purpose based on the style you’re going for. Printed upholstery that has a pattern flowing through it could use a more subtle carpet/rug, while a plain minimalist setting could use a pop of color and some printed pieces.

Using a carpet that has a precise color that matches your furniture or room creates a sense of continuity to the color scheme.
