Here are some pointers shared by home decor enthusiasts when it comes to sprucing up certain areas in your home:

It is important to find out what style you love best and figure out what other people are doing with that style. “Create an inspiration board for specific rooms such as a living area or kitchen, then pin everything that you want, such as pictures of sofas, rugs and curtains, before you find a common theme and colour. Once you have this guide, stick to it and do not buy anything that is not on the board, ” advises home decor enthusiast Humaira Zainal.
