Whether you're planning a complete home design overhaul or just want to update a few accessories in your home, you've certainly come to the right place!

So get ready to learn! And prepare yourself for part two of this segment coming right around the corner.

1. Shop abroad

When you're on holiday, ship back any fun home accessories you can find. It's cheaper than buying imported materials here, and you're guaranteed to find something for your home that no one else on the block has.

2. Technology at your fingertips

Allows you to contact interior architects that don't even live in your region–so take advantage of the new age!

3. Do some research

Especially when considering vintage pieces, that way you can compare prices of similar items.

4. Splurge on two big accessories each year

Instead of wasting your money on raggedy items.

5. Invest in the main features

That anchor a room, such as the bed, sofa, or dining room table.

6. Use different flooring types

To separate spaces in an open-plan home.

7. Consider more options

When decorating–you don't want your home to look like you've just grabbed one of everything in a particular style.

8. Use your main elements

To scale the rest of your room.

9. Use outdoor fabrics inside

For more stain-resistant furniture.

10. Test run your paint

Before you commit to an entire wall. That way, you'll see if your roller has any lint or other unwanted items stuck to it.

11. Use darker wall colours

For rooms that don't get a lot of natural light for a romantic or cosy atmosphere.

12. Let natural light help you

With your wall colour choice. Bright colours on the northern side work well, for example.

13. Decorate with fruits

For added bursts of colour and an organic touch.

14. Ladders make great home accessories

Especially when used to hang towels.

15. Unusual features make your space unique

Try something like a fireplace in the bathroom–we're pretty sure you won't see that in just any home.

16. Subway tiles in the bathroom

Make a bold statement for the industrial and modern-lovers alike.

17. Keep bedroom textiles simple

For a more elegant and relaxing atmosphere.

18. White and wood will always be best friends

That work well together in any room of the home.

19. For a clear focal point

Centre your furniture on an area rug, and don't be shy–go bold!

20. When it comes to chairs

They don't have to match. This eclectic collection works quite well, in our opinion.

21. When it comes to the hallway

Use lots of light and mirrors for a warm welcoming vibe.

22. String up decorative lanterns

Inside and out for a uniformed style and glow.

23. Paint your wardrobe

The same colour as your bedroom for a unified look with a seamless transition.

24. If your fireplace isn't functional

Feel free to add decorative items like baskets. Now your fireplace has purpose and you have extra storage.

25. Use white furnishings

For a more expansive and airier feel. This colour has proven itself worthy time and again.
