The Basics of Home Décor

Since moving into a bigger house away from the central area of Brisbane, I finally got a big room with plenty of space to put things and decorate with.

But since I don't really plan to live here for that much longer, I decided to decorate my room with some basic things I don't mind leaving behind, or things I can easily take with me where I live next.


I think books really make a room or living space homey. It adds character, age and of course, reading materials!
An enclosed cabinet keeps the dust away, so cleaning those unread books isn't a problem.
Another item that makes brings a room/living space to life is living things!
Matching cups and canisters for all my lady things. I also made the cardboard chest from cardboard gift boxes!
Courtesy of my lovely Julia who brought me this treasure from New York!
Bookshelves and art for dat extra oomph. (Bookshelves, mostly to put all my crap on.)
Pillows and cushions - mostly because I have a need for a layer of pillows between the headboard and my actual pillow...
An extra sheet incase of guests/using it as the actual blanket in Brisbane summer!
I'm quite fussy with bedsheets, I like higher thread count of course, but definitely, definitely 100% cotton.
Also a bonus if the pattern is pretty and matches the rest of the space.
The one I have is from Target - it's a summery, industrial design.
A rug, for activities on the ground. i.e. throwing all my stuff on the floor!
