“Scatters can set the tone and pull the decor together delivering enormous impact with little effort as they give you colour, contrast, pattern and design all in one,” says Shelley Scribante of House of Decor. MOUNT SOME SHELVING “Without taking up too much space, shelving offers a very practical way to get creative and showcase your favourite pieces, whether art, decor or crockery,” says Lane Baglione of Interior Lane. DISPLAY ACCESSORIES “Turn an empty wall into a gallery using artworks and sculptural art pieces,” says Jocelyn. “Look out for interesting vases and objects for empty console and coffee tables and group these together to create focal points on otherwise bare or cluttered tabletops.” “Choosing contrasting colours or patterns and different textures in your accessories can give you depth and interest in your decor,” says Shelley.
