Wall art has gained a lot of popularity in the last few years, changing the design of a home while introducing an avant-garde design to the space. You can opt for quotes, words, images or all of the above to your wall. The best part is that as soon as you get bored, you simply peel it off.

4. Coloured walls

The presence of vibrant colours is an ally in any home. However, you need to exercise caution when it comes to bright and vibrant colours, opting for small quantities. You don't want to over-saturate your home with colours!

A great tip is to just paint one wall a bright and striking colour, keeping everything else neutral, earthy and subtle.

5. Original shelves
