Just Moved In? These 8 Decor Essentials Will Make It Feel like a Home

2. A houseplant (or two)

The sight of an empty apartment can be a bit grim, but as soon as you start introducing signs of life, you'll begin to feel more at home in the space. The best way to do that is with big, leafy plants that bring the outdoors in. Pop them in chic pots for added style and to elevate a room further.

4. Full-length mirror

In a lot of new apartments, your only mirror is located above your bathroom vanity which is hardly ideal for times when you want to see your entire outfit at a glance. A separate full-length mirror in your bedroom is perfect for not only checking yourself on the way out, but is also great for bouncing light around the room, helping create the illusion of more space, and acting as a decor piece as well.

6. Lamps

Apart from natural light, lamps are my favourite way to introduce light in a way that's atmospheric and flattering. Overhead lighting has a bad reputation for hard shadows, but wall, floor and table lamps help to add soft, warm light into a room that's perfect for reading and even working from home. A ceramic creation will also create an eye-catching statement.

8. Throw blanket

A throw blanket is an item that you'll never regret purchasing. It's an all-purpose essential for your home that makes for an ideal duvet substitute, picnic throw or cosy extra layer on your bed or couch. They are also great to have on hand for that guest who feels the chill easily and will add texture and colour to a space.
