I love to accessorise my home with books, flowers, and vintage items. I feel they can create a warm, personal, and stylish ambiance. Here are some tips and ideas to seamlessly integrate these elements into your decor while keeping it cohesive and inviting:

1. Books: Timeless Touches

• • Stacks and Displays: Use books with beautiful covers to create height and layers on shelves, coffee tables, or sideboards. Stack a few horizontally and place a small decorative item, like a candle or vase, on top.

• • Theme Your Selections: Curate books that reflect your personality, such as design books, classic literature, or oversized art volumes.

• • Unexpected Spots: Arrange books in nontraditional places, like under a side table or on a bench, to add depth and charm.

2. Flowers: Natural Beauty

• • Fresh or Faux: Fresh flowers bring vibrancy, while faux options can provide long-lasting beauty. Mix and match for variety.

• • Vessel Variety: Use interesting containers, such as vintage teapots, mason jars, or old watering cans, for a quirky and eclectic look.

• • Seasonal Changes: Rotate floral displays to reflect the seasons—tulips and daffodils for spring, sunflowers for summer, dried leaves for autumn, and red berries for winter.

3. Vintage Items: Nostalgic Charm

• • Meaningful Finds: Incorporate vintage pieces that tell a story, like heirlooms, antiques, or thrift shop treasures.

• • Groupings: Group small vintage items, such as cameras, clocks, or figurines, to create a cohesive vignette.

• • Mix with Modern: Blend vintage items with contemporary decor for an eclectic but balanced look.

Harmonising the Trio:

• • Create Vignettes: Arrange books, flowers, and vintage items together on mantels, coffee tables, or shelves. For example, stack a few books, add a small vase of flowers, and finish with a vintage trinket.

• • Colour Coordination: Choose a colour palette to tie these elements together. For instance, match floral hues with book spines or vintage details.

• • Texture and Layers: Combine different textures—smooth book covers, delicate petals, and worn vintage surfaces—to add depth and interest.
