The Best Home Decor Collection Items

Wall Items

• Besides typical wall art, mirrors, clocks and shelving can be used to dress up wall space and give the room fashion and function. Pieces like antique framed mirrors or punchy sunburst mirrors add decoration to empty walls and the reflective surfaces help give spaces a greater sense of depth. Wall clocks in either analog or digital form -- the latter if the room has a streamlined vibe -- help to keep time in the room. Creative shelving like book stacks or box shelves can play up the old-world or modern feel of the room using house knickknacks, picture frames or candles.

Tabletop Items

• In addition to trinkets that top your shelves, set artifacts or interactive items -- like a chess set -- on coffee and end tables. These tabletops act as displays for collected items and vintage treasures and can help to reveal a story of whom the homeowners are or where their passions lie. Table trays are ideal for those who like to entertain, and items like globes and hourglasses are ideal for travelers and adventurers.

Lighting Items

• Choose lighting fixtures according to the mood you intend to set in a space. Classic chandeliers are perfect for formal dining rooms or any room to which you want to add elegance. Old-world candle chandeliers are an option for more weathered and cozy family rooms. Ceiling pendants are an alternative that can work for both modern and shabby-chic settings. For a quick change in tabletop lamps, keep one-half of your lamp basic and get creative with the second half. Switch out basic lampshades -- monochrome, traditionally shaped tops -- for those with creative shape, pattern and color, or change up the lamp base with decorative wood or industrial-looking styles.

Miscellaneous

• Use extras like plants and textiles to add life and color to your collection. Adding faux-fur rugs, textured throws and pillows, and vibrant floral plants is an easy way to switch up home items for different seasons and holidays. Vases double as a decor accent themselves, and wood, plastic, ceramic, metal and glass styles all play up a different design aesthetic.
