Accessorise your home

Ready to pull a room together? Think layered textures, personality and character. Here are some ideas to beautifully transform any space with minimal effort, using cushions, rugs, mirrors, curtains and more.

Layer with cushions and throws

Sofas and beds looking a little bare? Elevate your living room and bedroom with our favourite cushions and throws, that add layers of texture and warmth, along with effortlessly cosy and inviting style.

Habitat x Scion Kukkia Woven Cushion. 

How to choose new cushions

Cushion sizes - There are a few different sizes of cushion to choose from. Our biggest cushions are 58 x 58cm and the smallest are 43 x 43cm, with a few other options in the middle. You can also find rectangular cushions which are a good fit for beds and armchairs.

Cushion colours and designs - From plain to patterned, there are lots of different cushions to choose from. Go bold with colours and prints to make a style statement, or choose something that seamlessly blends with your existing decor.

Look out for different finishes which add a touch of luxury. Some feature raised tufts of fabric, while others have little tassels in the corner.

Habitat x Scion Attolo Throw in brown colour.

How to choose a throw

Throw sizes - When it comes to cosiness, bigger is always better, right? Our largest throws are 150 x 170cm, offering enough cover to share... If you're feeling generous that is.

The next size down is 125 x 170cm and the smallest is 125 x 150cm - still big enough for cosying up in the colder months.

Throw colours and design - Our throws come in more than just plain colours - so you've got plenty to choose from if you're looking for something that is the yin to your home's yang. Browse the range to find the one that would look best in your home.

Define with curtains and blinds

Habitat Stripe Blackout Eyelet Curtains in latte.

How to choose curtains

Curtain sizes - There are several curtain sizes to help you dress your windows perfectly. Measure your window width and drop, then add extra width for a fuller gather. Longer drops create an elegant, floor-length look in the living room, while sill-length options suit compact spaces and bedroom styling.

Curtain colours and patterns - From neutrals to bold prints, décor curtains can transform a room. Choose softer shades for a relaxing bedroom, or opt for patterns to create impact in the living room while coordinating with your existing décor style.

Look for details that elevate décor curtains, from eyelet headers and neat folds to textured fabrics, trims or subtle embroidery, which add softness to both bedroom and living room spaces.

How to choose blinds

Blind sizes - Measure the width and drop carefully for the best fit, and decide whether you want an inside or outside mount. Wider blinds work well for larger living room windows, while neatly fitted styles are ideal for bedroom spaces where a clean finish matters.

Blind colours and styles - Choose light-filtering options to keep your living room bright, or opt for blackout finishes to create a restful bedroom environment. Décor blinds in textured fabrics or subtle patterns can add depth while blending with your overall interior look.

Small design elements can enhance both form and function. Roller, Roman or Venetian styles each offer a different feel, from sleek to classic. Look out for finishes such as wood slats, fabric folds or metallic accents that bring a polished touch to your living room and bedroom décor.

How to choose a mirror

Mirrors are magical things - not only do they look great, but they can transform a space in an instant, making it feel larger and brighter. From round to rectangular, black to brass, we reflect on why you should invest in a mirror for every room in the home.

Types of mirrors

Mirror magic, anyone? From full-length mirrors to dressing table mirrors and wall mirrors, choose styles that reflect light, expand space, and add personality while tying your room together with flair.

Habitat Striped Green Resin Square Wall Mirror. 

Wall mirrors

As the name suggests, these are designed to be hung on the wall. You'll find all sorts of shapes and sizes to suit your space and style.

Habitat Black Bobble Wooden Arch Full Length Mirror.

Full length mirrors

Long and narrow, these mirrors provide a full-length reflection. However, some of our styles can also be hung horizontally.

Habitat Wooden Freestanding Mirror.

Freestanding mirrors

These designs either lean against the wall or stand upright so there's no need for them to be hung.

Habitat Checkered Brown & Cream Resin Dressing Table Mirror.

Dressing table mirrors

Dressing table mirrors feature compact tabletop designs with adjustable angles, adding functional style to bedrooms while perfectly complementing vanities without needing wall mounting.

Which mirror for which room?

Mirror your style across every space. From bathroom mirrors that add clarity to living room designs that expand light, choose pieces that enhance function, reflect personality, and elevate each room.

Habitat Bathroom LED Circle Backlit Demister Touch Mirror.

Bathroom mirrors

Tested to cope with high humidity areas, our collection of bathroom mirrors includes swivel styles and illuminated mirrors ideal for makeup application. A mirror with shelves is also handy for all your lotions and potions.

Habitat Black Frameless Oval Wall Mirror.

Bedroom mirrors

As the bedroom often doubles up as a dressing room, we recommend a full-length mirror so you can easily check your outfits. A decorative mirror placed above a chest of drawers will add interest as well as brightening the boudoir.

Habitat Black Window Wall Mirror.

Hallway mirrors

Perfect for last minute touch ups before you leave the house, a mirror will also make a small or narrow hallway appear so much bigger. Window mirrors like this one look particularly good here.

Habitat Frameless Half Circle Wall Mirror.

Living room mirrors

Wall mirrors work well in a living room, freeing up floor space for more functional pieces. Place a large mirror above a mantelpiece to make a style statement, or for something a little different, create a gallery wall of smaller mirrors.

Comparing small vs large mirrors

Have a think about whether you'd like your new mirror to act as a focal point, an accent or to simply form part of the background of a room. If hanging the mirror above a piece of furniture a general rule of thumb is to choose one that's two thirds the size of the furniture. We recommend marking out the area with some newspaper so you can work out the size that's best for the space.

Habitat Wavy Wooden Full Length Wall Mirror.

Large mirrors

Big mirror. Big impact. Make your mirror work double duty - either as a bold focal point or a subtle space-enhancing backdrop, depending on your styling choice.

  • To make a large mirror the focal point of a room, choose a frame that makes it even more noticeable and adds striking visual impact.
  • If you'd prefer it to blend into the background, opt for an extra-large mirror with a subtle frame to make your space appear bigger.

Small mirrors

Style small mirrors smartly so your mirrors enhance, not disappear - placement and grouping make all the difference.

  • A single small mirror on a large wall can easily get lost, so be mindful of placement to ensure it doesn’t fade into the background.
  • Smaller mirrors shine as accents, catching light or reflecting objects, while grouped together they create a striking, gallery-style focal point.

Wall art and frames guide

Bloomingville Palm Leaf Wall Décor.

Picture perfect

Want to jazz up a dull corner of your home? An urbane, hodgepodge of art prints and photographs is one of the easiest ways to do it.

  • Mix sizes and layouts: Combine different frame sizes and orientations to create visual interest, but keep spacing consistent for a polished look.
  • Stick to a cohesive palette: Choose artwork and frames that share a common colour story to keep the arrangement looking intentional rather than chaotic.
  • Pick the right frame style: Match frames to your décor. sleek metals for modern spaces, pops of bright colours, wood for warmth, or minimalist black and white for a timeless gallery feel.

Anchor with rugs

Step into style from the ground up. From a small rug to statement modern rugs, layer texture, define zones and add warmth while seamlessly and stylishly tying your room together.

Habitat Luxe Chain Green Wool Cut Pile Rug.

Rug refresh

Want to make a quiet spot feel cosy and intentional? A statement rug can do the heavy lifting. It adds texture, defines zones, and brings the palette to life.

  • Get the size right: A rug that’s too small can make a space feel disjointed. Aim for one that sits comfortably under key furniture pieces to anchor the area.
  • Think about material: Choose fabrics that suit your lifestyle - plush wool for warmth, flatweaves for high-traffic areas, or easy-care synthetic blends for busy homes.
  • Balance colour and pattern: Let your rug either complement your existing palette for a cohesive look or introduce a bold pattern to create a striking focal point.

Accessorise with colour

Adding more colour can really bring your home to life. Whether you're more bright and bold, or small and subtle, all it takes is a few different hues to truly stamp your style in each room. Here's some of our favourites.
