There’s nothing the homeware lover in your life appreciates more than creating a space around them they love spending time in. Whether they love bright colours or prefer a minimalist look, it’s all about piecing together an inviting home. 

While the home decorator in your life will often keep up with the latest trends and styles, there are plenty of great gift ideas for them. Whether they have a cosy unit or a large multi-storey house, they will appreciate a thoughtful gift that adds to the design of their perfect home. 

Here are some home decorating gift ideas to consider for every type of space.

The front door – a colourful doormat

The doormat is an overlooked, yet essential home-decorating piece. Not only is it one of the first things visitors see, it also helps keep the house clean by encouraging visitors to wipe their feet. It makes for a perfect gift!

Play with colours you know your friend loves, or add a pop of pattern to an otherwise plain exterior. You can also add personalisation, like the family name or a funny message that captures their personality.  

The living room – cosy candles or a diffuser

There’s nothing quite like a sweet-smelling home. Whether it be a sweet vanilla or floral fragrances wafting through the space, there’s no quicker way to make a room feel cosy and comfortable than with a scented candle or diffuser. Candles are a household favourite for good reason. You can always pick one in a scent you know they love, or opt for something a little more outside their scent-comfort zone. Play with colours and patterns to make their new candle a coffee-table centrepiece or blend seamlessly into their space. 

If the person you’re buying for loves variety, why not go for a diffuser? There are plenty of essential oils for people who love to change up the scent of their home. Plus, you’ll give them a double present of aromatherapy. If you know they’re stressed, go for a lavender essential oil or add a bit of energy into the room with a bright citrus scent. 

The dining room – Lazy Susan turntable

This might seem like an overly practical present, but a Lazy Susan is a mealtime game-changer. We all know the hassle that comes with a large table full of friends and family, awkwardly asking to pass the butter or the sauce. 

Allowing for easy access to food and drinks, it’s a great gift for the entertainer in your life. Perfect for dinner parties or large family breakfasts, a Lazy Susan is a great addition to their home-entertaining supplies. There’s no need for awkward shuffling of dishes and condiments – making large meal times a breeze. 

They come in a range of sizes and even colours, so make sure you find the right one for their space!

The kitchen – cookbook 

A cookbook is the perfect addition to kitchen shelves and your loved one’s cooking repertoire. From a practical point of view, you can introduce the gift recipient to a range of new dishes and help get them inspired to try something they haven’t before. Whether it’s the latest release from their favourite chef or a new addition to their favourite cuisine, you can’t go wrong. 

If you’re a whiz in the kitchen, you can always create your own personalised cookbook or put together a collection of favourites from loved ones for a truly sentimental present.  

The bathroom – bathroom caddy

With toothbrushes, toothpastes, hair brushes, hand soap, make-up and skin care products, it can be easy for the bathroom sink to become crowded and messy. Help your loved one keep things organised with a bathroom caddy. This practical present  is often something we think about after the mess – you’ll make their lives much easier! 

The ideal bathroom caddy comes with multiple compartments of varying sizes for everything your loved one could possibly need on, or by, their bathroom sink. Not only will their space be tidy and organised, without the clutter, it will be easier for them to keep it clean.

The bedroom – piece of art 

Art is a home-decorating staple for a reason! Help your loved one brighten up a wall or add a personal touch to their bedroom with a beautiful piece of art. You can find a great range online, or even look at making your own. Depending on their colour scheme, you can opt for a bright, modern, patterned print, or a relaxing landscape. You’ll want to make sure your art is the right balance of eye-catching, while seamlessly fitting into their theme.  

If you’re unsure on the right colour or print, you can always opt for a framed picture. Put some of their favourite memories on display with a photo collage frame, or let a sentimental moment shine with a single picture. 

We’re sure that whatever gift you decide on, your loved one will appreciate the time and effort you’ve put into it. Whether you opt for something sentimental or a practical gift to make their lives easier, stick with their theme and you’re onto a winner!
