Decor Tips to Accentuate Your Home

Do you remember the initial feeling when you first walk into a room and you see something, and it just clicks? Perhaps it’s a decorative piece kept in a way that surely makes your heart settle, or a clock that reminds you of why you still don’t have a wall clock in your study room. It’s these little touches that turn a house into a home.

Here at Modern Quests, we always believe that little things make the biggest impression. For this reason, we have created a list of home décor essentials as well as quick style tips that are simple yet effective, to help you bring out a space that is lived-in and loved. Not only will these pieces accentuate your space effortlessly, but they will also quietly show your exquisite taste.

1. Sculptures and Accents

Not every piece of art belongs on a wall. Sculptures bring movement, dimension, and interest to flat surfaces. Choose from bold resin forms, quirky figurines, or modern decorative pieces that will definitely lead to curiosity and conversation. Utilise them to balance out more functional pieces or to fill in that empty space on a shelf or console. Browse our assortment of sculptures and accents to discover those pieces that give a soul and story to your space.

Styling tip -  Sculptures look especially striking when paired with books, trays, or under a moody light.

2. Bookends

Remember that moment when your books are just scattered everywhere, and you need something that not only keeps them in place but actually looks good while doing it? The right set of bookends does exactly that. While often overlooked, bookends can be the quiet heroes, styling your shelves without much effort. Whether you want abstract, sculptural designs that work as beautiful art pieces, or animal-shaped bookends that add a playful twist to eclectic spaces, our wide range of bookends will surely help you pick something that works great for adding definition to open shelves or low consoles.

Styling tip - Style them with coffee table books, a candle, and a small planter for a full shelf moment.

3. Wall Clocks

Well-chosen wall clocks not only show the time but also add a sense of style, structure, and rhythm to your space. The ideal solution for those empty walls in the house is wall clocks, either in the form of a bold metallic accent piece or a clean, Scandi-inspired silhouette or even a whimsical cuckoo clock. They provide the finishing touches to the visual gap without making the space feel cluttered. Plus, something is grounding about having a clock in the room; it subtly keeps you anchored in the moment. Check out our extensive range of wall clocks from international brands and choose the one that helps you style your space better. 

Styling tip - Perfect above a sideboard, in a hallway, or even in a modern kitchen nook for a touch of style that also keeps you on schedule.

4. Vases 

A vase can change the entire energy of a surface, with or without flowers. Whether you want to opt for ribbed or amber tones, geometric or tapered shapes, or pieces with crystalline finishes, take a look at our wide assortment of vases that will make you believe that they are not limited to flowers. They are sculptural décor pieces and art on their own.

Styling tip - Use different heights, colours and textures to make your space look curated, while feeling organic.  

5. Pots and Planters

There’s something about greenery that instantly makes a space feel more alive, and the right planter only enhances that. While each pot and planter brings its own personality, together they do more than just hold plants; they help make your space look better effortlessly. They are a great addition for a contemporary space featuring sleek metal or ceramic finishes, as well as striking suspended pots, because they offer visual texture and a hint of the outdoors without overpowering the space. Explore our collection of pots and planters to find the perfect home for your greens.

Styling tip - Place taller planters at the back and smaller ones up front to create depth, and mix materials like metal with ceramic or matte with gloss.

6. Tea Light and Candle Holders

The ambience of a room transforms completely with the glow of candlelight. It’s warm, inviting and instantly relaxing, giving the room a soothing upgrade. But it’s the holders that truly elevate the glow. Whether it’s sleek glass, matte ceramic, or delicate porcelain with architectural details, the right candle holder surely puts depth and charm even when it’s not lit. Explore our collection of tea lights and candle holders to subtly and beautifully warm up your space. 

Styling Tip - Place them on tables, shelves, or the empty corner in the room to create a warm ambience or to elevate your evening rituals. 

The best spaces aren’t overdecorated; they’re well considered, all together in one go or starting little by little. For any space, these statement décor are the best options for effortless additions to your home. If you’re someone who is starting with styling your space with décor that matches your taste and style, thoughtful yet not overworked, modern yet personal, stylish yet still you, then this list is perfect for you.

As your home is meant to be a part of you, then it should also feel like a reflection of your taste; subtly audacious, chic, and never just like everyone else’s.
