Most women pay a lot of attention to home decoration. They have an overall vision of what they want to achieve, but also the attention to detail to obtain a homogeneous whole. If you are looking for a gift idea and your friend appreciates the charm of the old, the cocooning in a vintage atmosphere, and the elegance of shabby chic, then we have some ideas that might interest you.
Useful objects can also be beautiful
The harbingers of style
The decoration starts on the doorstep, a small retro lantern outside, a doormat decorated with colorful landscapes, and a small “Welcome” sign hanging on the door form a beautiful introduction before even crossing the threshold.
Let’s not forget the essential coat rack in the entrance hall. Choose a decorated one, light rather than dark, in metal or wood, but above all cheerful, to ensure a welcoming atmosphere from the very beginning. You can find charming coat racks decorated in a country style at L’Esprit des Anges or by hunting in flea markets.
The decor is also in the kitchen and the bathroom
The kitchen has long since gone beyond its useful aspect to house many decorative objects. On the shelves, an old coffee grinder, a scale with its copper weights, are a nice reminder of the kitchen of yesteryear and immediately create the atmosphere. We find superb hand towels, tea towels, or aprons with floral patterns that transport you to your grandmother’s kitchen in no time. Old pharmacy jars are very popular for storing dried vegetables and spices, in glass or earthenware, as in herbalists, they are as decorative as they are useful.
For the bathroom, a set of matching accessories is a great idea, but you can also opt for a shabby chic mirror, a white wrought iron shelf, or an old perfume bottle.
The ultimate in cozy ambiance
Decoration for the sofa and armchair
Every detail counts, so to decorate a sofa nicely, a bunch of cushions is a great idea. Don’t hesitate to mix them, pastels and colors, in embroidered cotton and decorated with white lace, the cushion is in itself a symbol of comfort, and the choices are multiple. The plaid and the quilt are also the allies of the sofa for a total cozy atmosphere.
Light decoration
What would decoration be without considering light? In this case, we favor indirect light, it is the opportunity to use retro-style table lamps to accentuate shadows and highlight contrasts. Here again, the choices are plentiful for this type of object, from major brands to decoration discounters, we find them at all prices.
When evening comes, it’s time for the tea light holder. The light of the candle immediately transports you on a journey through time. The light of the flame, discreet and mobile, also changes colors, transforms objects, and brings them to life. Candle holders have become essential decorative objects; they come in all shapes and materials, to hang or place, and they are superb gift ideas.
If you were lacking inspiration, it’s probably now a done deal, and these few examples are just a few of the decorative objects that can be offered as gifts.
