7 Best Home Decor Gift Ideas You’ll Want To Keep! *

10th September 2021      Lisa      62 Comments

AD | When it comes to the interior design of our homes, it’s easy to get caught up in focussing on the furniture and paint.  We can come up with the perfect arrangement and colour, either by ourselves, or with the help of some interior design apps, but can often forget about the accessories. As with our clothes, accessories make our living spaces unique, and showcase our personalities. And home accessories are often one of the first things we think to give as gifts to others, aren’t they? With that in mind, here are 7 of the best home decor gift ideas you’ll want to keep for yourself!

Where can I find the best home decor gift ideas?

From Amazon home decoration to unique pieces on Etsy, there’s a wealth of cool funky home decor products to choose from. And buying online makes delivery so much easier as well. But rather than the usual flowers or scented candle, why not consider one of these home decoration gifts instead?

Artwork

Sculptures, paintings, even framed children’s crayon drawings, all make personal and versatile home accessories. Available in all shapes and sizes, including large canvases for a feature wall, art pieces can really style up a living space.

Beautiful Plants

Houseplants are another fabulous idea for their looks and ability to improve your health by removing carbon dioxide and replacing it with oxygen. Certain indoor plants are also great for allergy sufferers as they neutralise polyethylene and other pollutants commonly found in floors and furniture. In particular, bamboo, spider plants, snake plants, and English ivy can help alleviate several respiratory conditions.

While you’re at it, don’t forget about the pots. Floately’s AIRSAI is a Floating Plant Pot that exposes plants to 360 degrees of sunlight, so they grow properly – no more turning pots to face the light once a week! One of these would make the perfect home decor gift for a home office, or a table in the kitchen.

Classy Mirrors

In all likelihood, the living room will have some unused space. Why not make the most of it with an eye-catching floor mirror. It doesn’t take up a lot of room and can instantly become a focal point for any wall. There are also endless sizes and styles, so you’re bound to find something for any home.

Cozy Rugs

Nothing feels as pleasant as the sensation of stepping on a bundle of comfort and warmth. And you can find rugs in an infinite number of patterns, styles, and colours. Whether you opt for antique or contemporary models, there’s sure to be a rug to suit everyone.

Designer Storage

We always need more storage space at home, don’t we? As we add to our belongings, we’re always looking for a way to store them. This is where designer storage comes into play, which both looks good and maximises efficiency. Among the most popular are closet organisers. with countless setups, including drawers, shelves, and units that can hold all sorts of things, from books, CDs, toys, and shoes. Typically, modified and expanded, they can be updated as needs change too.

Textured Pillows

The easiest way to jazz up living spaces and make them more comfortable is to add new pillows or cushions. Try different textures, like fringe and mohair fur, to add a touch of hygge cosiness or character to the area. Or, if textures don’t appeal, try colours or patterns that match the furniture. Darker pillows complement light furniture nicely, and vice versa. Why not think outside the box and combine styles that wouldn’t normally cross your mind?

Tranquil Lighting

For warmth, light, and a soothing ambiance, candles throughout the living room and bedroom are known to create a romantic atmosphere and nurture the senses at the same time. Alternatively, you can just as easily accomplish the same effect with LED light bulbs, which also have health benefits.

home-decor-gift-ideashome-decor-gift-ideas-VOLTA-floating-light2

Floately’s VOLTA – Levitating Light Bulb is a standout piece that literally levitates while delivering light. As well as being a beautiful focal point, it’s shatterproof and can last 10 times longer than regular bulbs.

More home decor gift ideas online

And for even more unique home decor gifts, besides AIRSAI and VOLTA, head over to Floately for a browse – not just for your friends and family, why not treat yourself to some quirky home decor online this year too?

Which of these home decor gift ideas did you like most? Which one would you keep for yourself instead of giving away for a birthday, housewarming, or Christmas treat?

    House plants are such a great gift idea. I’d not thought of that before, but it’s definitely a good one. I’d love to receive a house plant. I really like the textured cushions idea too as they can make the biggest difference to a home. I love adding texture to interior. Fab post!

        I’m super fussy when it comes to my decor so I’d have to pre-approve a gift before my family or friends buy it haha. They’re so used to me though and they know I’d rather nothing than buying me something I like so they’re happy for me to say exactly what I’d like. These are all great ideas and that floating light bulb has definitely caught my eye! Great post!

I also like the idea of textured pillows as they are easily available and such a quick way to uplift a space. Thanks for all the other ideas — they are great!

    My family and I are currently looking at houses for my grandmother. She wants to move closer to us so we have been spending weekends checking out new places on the market. It is interesting perusing houses that still have all the furniture inside and seeing the different styles and ways people decorate their homes!

    My favorite feel so far is a rustic feel in this old place from the 60’s. The furniture looked worn at first glance but was actually brand new and there were old glass bottles and writing desks splashing up every room. The one thing missing were house plants; I think they make a great housewarming gift!
    Thanks for sharing. 🙂

      That’s a beautiful home decor look, I adore the farmhouse aesthetic, it’s so cosy. But yes, houseplants can and often do make a place feel like home, lived in and comfortable. I hope your grandmother finds her ideal new home near you soon, Jaya 🙂 x
