The new year is well and truly underway, which means many of us have been thinking about goals and resolutions to get us out of a rut.
But sometimes all you need is a small tweak to your home to feel refreshed. Rather than grabbing for the tools or a can of paint, a few new homewares can make your space feel new without a renovation.
Home d¨Ścor doesn't have to break the bank either. You can easily find key pieces for under $60 that add a pop of colour, interest or organisation to a tired looking space.
Here are some fresh finds that will make your home look good while being kind to your budget.
Indoor plants have plenty of benefits for the home, and look even better in a striking pot.
This six-piece set by Maddison Lane is made of durable terracotta and comes with drainage holes to keep your plant healthy.
With each pot measuring 10.5cm high and 12cm wide, they will each add a vibrant feature to a shelf or plant stand.
Get more bang for your buck by spreading the pots throughout the home, or use on the one shelving unit for a bold statement.

This striking blue and green cushion will add a sophisticated splash of colour to any sofa.

Vases are so much more than a vessel to hold flower arrangements, with many looking striking enough as a feature piece on their own.
