Creating a Comprehensive Interior Decor Items List: A Guide from John Amabile Design

At John Amabile Design, we understand the importance of creating spaces that are not only beautiful but also functional and personalised. Whether you're designing a single room or an entire house, having a well-thought-out interior decor items list can make the process smoother and more enjoyable.

In this blog post, we'll share our go-to decor items, how we source and supply them, and tips on making your own list to transform your living spaces.

Flooring sets the foundation for any room. We offer a variety of options including hardwood, LVT, carpet, and tiles. Each type of flooring brings a different feel to a room; for example, hardwood and carpet exude warmth and elegance, while tiles and LVT offer durability and ease of maintenance.

Wallcoverings

From paint to wallpaper, wallcoverings are crucial in setting the tone of a room. We provide a range of textures, patterns, and colors to suit any style. Accent walls can add depth and interest, while subtle wallpapers can create a calming backdrop.

Window Dressings

Curtains, voiles, blinds, and pelmets are essential for controlling light and adding a layer of softness. They can dramatically change the ambiance of a room, providing privacy and insulation while contributing to the overall aesthetic.

Furniture

Furniture forms the backbone of any interior space, offering both functionality and style. We carefully select and supply a range of pieces to suit different rooms and purposes. Key considerations include comfort, durability, and how well each piece complements the overall design.

Cushions and Throws

Cushions and throws are perfect for adding comfort and a pop of colour. They can be easily changed with the seasons or your mood, making them a versatile decor element.

Rugs

Rugs define spaces and add warmth underfoot. Whether you're looking for a statement piece or a subtle addition, our selection includes various sizes, patterns, and textures to complement any room.

Mirrors can make a room feel larger and brighter, while art adds personality and focal points. We source and supply mirrors and artworks that reflect your taste and enhance the decor.

Lighting

Lighting is crucial for creating the right mood. We specialise in a variety of lighting options including ceiling lights, wall lights, floor lamps, and table lamps. We particularly love occasional lighting, which allows for a cosy atmosphere without the need for overhead lights (or, putting "the big light" on).

Accessories

Accessories like ornaments, planters, vases, keepsakes, and trinket dishes bring character and charm to a space. They are the finishing touches that make a room feel complete and personalised.
