The cost of home decor may take up a small portion of your makeover budget, but they are essential for giving your home that extra bit of oomph. In some cases, all you need are a couple of visually-interesting decorations, such as an eyecatching pouf, throws, rugs or bright curtains to amp up the look of a drab space.

Even so, not every piece of decor is suitable for the look that you are trying to achieve. As such, it’s good to do your homework before raiding your local thrift shop or home decor store for new accessories and artworks. Here are some quick styling rules to note:

• Decorate with moderation: Create a focal point using one accessory at a time - it could be a statement rug, wall mirror or framed art that takes centre stage.
• Space it out: Sometimes decorating involves not decorating. That means spacing out between furniture pieces and decoration to give your space (and your eyes) some breathing room.
• Pick (at most) two accent colours: Your home is a canvas, but too much colour everywhere can be a headache! Stick to two complementary hues in your decor and accessories to create some consistency in your design.
