16 great design ideas that will make your home more beautiful, functional and welcoming

Sometimes, it takes very little to give a home a warm, pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. And there is no need to radically change all the furniture and undertake major renovations. It's the small details that make the difference: offering tea with a beautiful teapot; welcoming guests into a pleasantly scented living room; placing a wonderfully designed lamp in a key area; or providing customized cushions - these are all small things we can do to make a home more welcoming. 

Let's discover together 16 ways in which you can enhance your home simply and economically.

1. A bed desk

How comfortable would it be to be able to work on the computer or study in bed, without having to struggle with the covers? A bedroom desk allows you to do exactly this!

2. A reading pillow

Reading on the sofa or in bed before going to sleep is a timeless pleasure - but both the sofa and the headboard do not always allow you to find a comfortable position, resulting in back and neck pain. This practical reading cushion solves this problem: soft, comfortable, with practical armrests and even a side pocket and a cup holder. What more could you ask for?

3. A retractable worktop

Today's kitchens are not always large enough to allow us to work in them easily. If worktops are lacking, you can add a retractable one by inserting it into a piece of furniture.

4. A seated lamp

How nice is this lamp that looks like it is sitting on the coffee table? And you can also use it as a support for your books!

5. A coconut stool

How about this stool made entirely from coconut shells? There are also coffee tables made in the same way: perfect for the balcony, garden or veranda.

6. A tea sloth

A unique tea infuser to wow your guests: these are available in the shapes of many animals - just choose your favorite.

7. Brachiosaurus ladles

Doesn't this little family of brachiosaurs immediately cheer you up and help you face your cooking chores? They will certainly be a joy for children.

8. Daisy pillows

A chair cushion that is not only beautiful to look at, but is also good for you: it offers great lumbar support, improving the well-being of the spine.

9. Furniture socks

What if you used socks for the legs of your tables and chairs instead of the standard, boring felt pads?

10. Egg holder

This egg holder can be used for storing, cooking and even serving eggs; your children will love this cute family of bears.

11. Beds for pets

A really cute place for our furry friends to sleep in. And nice to look at too!

12. Toast coasters

These toast-shaped coasters (or trivets) are really beautiful. When you are not using them, you can keep them together like a loaf of bread. And placed under pots and glasses, they will make a great impression.

13. Floral lampshade

The flower-shaped lamp will instantly transform your home into a fairy forest.

14. Painter's doorstop

This doorstop, in the shape of a flattened paint tube, is something truly wonderful.

15. Chef's soap

A stainless steel "soap" that removes odors is ideal in the kitchen.

16. TV stand

Your TV will look like a painting when placed on an artist's easel.

There are many design ideas that can help you enrich your home: just choose the ones that suit you best!
