Decorative homewares are a great way to make a sparse and quite empty house into a warm and inviting place that people enjoy visiting. It is only when you actually implement the changes that you will begin to realise how massive a difference they make. When it comes to your house, often the least decorated portion that makes up quite a huge space on the inside of your building is the walls. Instead of leaving them blank and barren, here are three decorative homewares every family house should hang on its walls to make everyone feel more at home.

Coat Rack/Wall Hook

As winter slowly creeps up in Australia, more and more people are going to begin taking out their larger coats. Hanging them on a handy little hook right near the door makes life so much easier when going out, as you don't need to remember to go all the way back to your bedroom and wardrobe to get the right clothing items. This is also great for when people visit during winter, as they can simply pop their coat off as soon as they get there and enjoy the company without being weighed down by a thick winter coat.

Clock

A good clock can not only be a very useful device, but it can be a centrepiece that everyone's eyes are naturally drawn to in a room like the dining area or living space. You can find a clock to match any sort of decor you have, whether that be minimalist, art deco or even very future-oriented. A clock should always be placed as centred as possible so it is not too distracting, and make sure to not put it too high or it will seem like it is looming over the guests you invite over. Clocks do not even have to be that expensive to find a reliable one.

Floating Shelf

Getting a whole new cupboard or system of shelves installed and placed against a wall can make your house feel a lot smaller. Instead, the best way to increase your storage and display space without cramping up the whole house is through the use of a floating shelf or two. These can be made out of whatever material you like, but the most common and naturally pleasing is wood. Then you can keep your books, plants, candles and knick-knacks of all kinds out of the way while still keeping a quite fresh interior design.
