There has been an increasing interest in adding live plants as home and office decor. This craze has his almost every home and an almost no-miss embellishment.

2. Cut Flowers
Cut flowers are always a welcome sight in every home. The presence of color lightens up a room and brings a sprinkle of cheer. A carefully hand picked vase add will make a big difference. Again one should go back to the design style and color palette. If it is elegant you are going for, then a glass or brass vase will do the trick. If you are hitting a more natural feel, may a ceramic, bamboo or clay vessel will do. The shape, color and design of these vessels will put forward an exciting twist. Of course, vases can also be used without the flowers and will work perfectly fine.
3. Picture Frames
We love picture frames! They come in all shapes and sizes, They can be placed on tables, on shelves, you can hang them on walls. Frames may be grouped together and they bring back happy memories and keep them forever etched in your heart.
4. Lamps
Lamps are simply wonderful. They illuminate and beautify your space. You can choose the glow you want, incandescent, LED , halogen and many more. There are table lamps, floor lamps, clip ons and overhead lamps too.
5. Prints and Frames
Aside from pictures, a trend nowadays are prints and frames. Words of wisdom, bible quotes, inspirational messages are brought to life in 3D form. These phrases will no longer be fleeting but made more
6. Doorknobs and Drawer Pulls
This tiny yet essential detail will make a world of difference. Having a pretty handle to hold when opening your bedroom closet is like being given a small dose of dopamine, your happy pill.
7. Bottles and Containers
These unassuming and seemingly useless pieces when placed in groupings can do wonders to your space.
8. Books
Books are not only meant to sit and wait on the bookshelves until someone finds them interesting enough to read. A fabric covered, hard bound can be placed neatly on a coffee table. A collection of magazines on a shelf to give a pinch color to the surroundings.
9. Throw Pillows
Throw Pillows are divine, don’t you think? They are both aesthetic and functional. They usually serve as a binding factor that pulls together the drapes, rug and other items in the room. Aside from the visual pleasure it brings, it also provides comfort. A couch will seem inviting to sit on when a throw pillow rests on it. They also add texture to the room. Fabric has unlimited color, design and attitude. Thus, throw pillows can define a piece of furniture by simply existing. A plain office chair can become the bosses throne when a pillow sewn with gold thread is affixed on it. This same chair can be a femine piece if a pillow clothed in pink, furry fabric is added.
10. Nature Pieces
Bring in a bit from nature into your home. When vacationing on the beach pick up a shell that will fit your living room table. A colorful stone from your afternoon walk in the park can be an accent on your night table, a driftwood may be put alongside a flower vase. Just make sure that the feel is coherent and will not clash with each other.
11. Second Hand Items
If you are working on a limited budget, utilizing second hand stuff is fine. Garage sales are heaven when looking for ornaments. Discards of other people can be a gem in your home.
Upcycling is also a useful trick., You not only transform your space, but be of help in saving Mother Earth.
Of course, be careful not to overdo your ornamental cravings. They may be small pieces but too many small pieces can cause a major disaster.
