Every piece of home décor should be chosen carefully and in line with the rules of the interior design style, you want to bring to your home.
- for Scandinavian style choose simple white, blue or yellow decorations, as well as home décor pieces made from wood,
- for minimalistic, modern interiors, go for minimalist decorations with simple, clear lines, geometrical shapes and monochromatic colours. However, do not get carried away with the number of decorations that you use. Minimalism likes minimalism – in every aspect.
- modern classic interiors like such decorations as vases, mirrors, candleholders or photo frames, often arranged in a symmetrical way and in classic colours (obviously black and white), colours of nature, but also refined shades such as burgundy, chocolate brown, grey or emerald green,
