Pleated table lamp
A gorgeous table lamp isn’t just aesthetically beautiful, it also enhances the ambience of your space. Fact.
And this season, trending table lamps are all about the pleated lamp shades. From classic pleats (like those of your primary school sport skirts) to more modern cove style pleats, there are plenty of styles to choose from. Our personal fave is this wavy table lamp with quirky pleated lampshade from Temple & Webster. It’s available in 6 fun colourways so you can find one to suit your home’s colour palette.

Oversized organic, earthy urn style pots
An interior style trend that’s been gaining popularity over recent years is all about organic and rustic accents.
Effortlessly pull off this trend with an earthy vase or urn style pot. These look fabulous inside the home and outdoors, as a stand alone home decor piece or filled with a plant, and in natural terracotta or an accent colour. We’re obsessed with bronze tones right now.
We adore how interior architect Katie Fischer styled one of these in her dreamy bathroom below! And can we take a moment to appreciate that glorious arched shower and bath area?!
Achieve this look with the Shopa vase below. You may also like to check out our round up of the most stylish vases this season.

Statement candle holders
Candle holders are a fabulous home decor item to weave throughout your home, especially when you’re looking for a high element in a vignette. From sleek and minimalist black candlesticks to playful glass candleholders, you can find a huge array in stores. Look around for ones that speak to your home’s aesthetic.
Decorative bowls
When we think of home decor, bowls aren’t generally one of the items that come to mind. But we’re here to remind you bowls deserve their place in the spotlight.
Timber or ceramic, crystal or metal, you can’t go wrong with a decorative bowl in your home. Place one on your console table as a catch all tray for keys and small items, or simply use them as a decor piece in their own right.
You can find cheap decorative bowls at stores like Kmart or Target, or luxe design objects at stores like Urban Road and RJ Living.
Statement mirror
Mirrors are one of our favourite decor items to use as they can be a great statement piece other than art. They can also bounce light and reflect views, making your space feel larger and more airy. Mostly though, we love mirrors because they’re just so darn beautiful!
Temple & Webster has the largest range of mirrors but this may be an item you like to go thrift shopping for… who know’s what amazing hidden gems you may discover?! DIY mirrors are also trending in a big way. Whether you have an old mirror at home that could do with a fresh lease on life or buy a plain mirror from IKEA to makeover, you’ll be sure to find plenty of inspiration on Pinterest.
