Home is where the heart is, and when you put your heart and soul into building a beautiful home, the rewards are endless. What’s more, paying attention to small details in your home decor can result in a dramatic transformation of your abode, as well as your mood. While that might sound like a lot of work, creating a stylish yet functional living space can actually be an enjoyable and affordable affair.

Add warmth by choosing furniture such as Commune’s (#04-06/07) Bruno TV console in rustic-finished acacia wood. Draw interest to the piece by styling with accessories, such as vases and glassware from Danish brand Hubsch (also available at Commune) or sleek Scandinavian-style furnishings from Boconcept (#04-01/03), including the rose gold Stockholm table lamp, and black metal and copper Satellite table lamp. Lladro (#04-51) has a range of handmade Spanish porcelain sculptures you can choose from as well, including Quarter Horse and Samurai warrior.

For a personal touch, display photographs of family in Muji’s (#04-36/40) clear acrylic photo frames that come in various sizes. The Japanese lifestyle store also offers tableware and cutlery for you to create the perfect dining setting. Complement the look by adding Liuli’s (#04-50) crystal wine glasses designed with intricate patterns and fine detailing, or a crystal owl decanter from Lalique (#04-45).

To lend a hint of luxury and sophistication to the space, consider adding stunning centrepieces to your dining table or side table. Crystal sculptures, such as the Languedoc vase, or the fish sculpture (available in 30 colours) from Lalique, not only help to anchor the look of the room, but the material also reflects rainbows to brighten up the interiors.

Another vital component to a well-styled space is the treatment of the walls. Add life to bare walls by including artworks that reflect your taste and personality. At Paragon, there’re plenty of options to choose from. The wide range means there’s something to satisfy every level of interest, from ardent art collectors to homeowners on the hunt for an interesting find. Take time to browse through the Oriental-inspired silk embroidery pieces from Images of China (#04-49), bespoke artwork from White Space Art Asia (#04-08), or fine-art photography from Lumas Gallery (#04-47) for ideas before deciding.
