About home decor
Home decor is the layer of objects and textiles that gives a room personality. It includes ceramic and glass vases, bowls and sculptures, throw pillows and cushion covers, throws and blankets, candles and candle holders, woven baskets, trays, bookends, clocks, dried and faux flowers, and seasonal decorations.
Much of this category is handmade, from wheel-thrown pottery and hand-poured candles to block-printed textiles and woven baskets. That means small variations between pieces are normal and often part of the appeal. Vintage shops also sell decorative objects with history, from brass to studio pottery.
When choosing decor, consider scale, color and texture together. Check dimensions carefully, since photos can make objects look larger or smaller than they are, and read care instructions for candles, textiles and ceramics.
Choosing home decor from independent makers
- Check dimensions and compare with something you own, as photos can be misleading about scale.
- Expect slight variation in handmade pieces, and ask the seller for a photo of the exact item if it matters.
- Ask whether ceramic vases are watertight for fresh flowers.
- For candles, check wax type, scent, burn guidance and wick type.
- Check cushion listings for whether the insert is included and what fill it uses.
- Ask how fragile items are packed for shipping.
Questions about home decor
Will the item look exactly like the photo?
Handmade pieces vary slightly in shape and color. If you need a close match, message the seller for a photo of the exact piece.
Can I use a ceramic vase for fresh flowers?
Only if it is glazed inside or described as watertight. Ask the seller if the listing does not say.
Are cushion inserts included?
It depends on the listing. Many shops offer cover only or cover with insert as options.
