We all have ideas about what our dream home might look like, but it can be hard to actually start buying the decor pieces to make that dream a reality.

Shows like The Block make it seem like you need to have a full interior design plan drafted and the money to redo your whole room ready to go, but actually, buying one piece at a time is just as viable when it comes to styling any room in your house.

Whether you’re into the midcentury look, want a more contemporary vibe, or just want a really colourful living space, here’s our curated list of interior design pieces for any kind of home decor.

Sanah Steel Bar Cart

The arched shape of this bar cart is sparking joy. The clean lines make for a simple aesthetic that can be used as a statement piece next time you have friends around for drinks and snacks.
