One-Item Décor Ideas for you SDA apartment in Canberra

A home does not need to be filled with many decorations to feel warm and welcoming. For many wheelchair users or those with limited movement, too many items can make a space feel crowded. That is why one-item décor is such a simple and helpful way to make your home feel inviting. It keeps things easy to manage and still makes your home feel beautiful.
One -item décor is easy to place, easy to clean and easy to enjoy. It does not take up much space, and it doesn’t get in the way of moving around your home. When you choose one item that you really like, it can become the focus of the room. It can bring colour, comfort and a personal touch to your Liverty Housing SDA apartment.
Small Plants
A small plant is one of the easiest décor ideas. You can place it on a table, a low shelf or a windowsill. Small indoor plants that are low maintenance can make a space feel fresh, peaceful and adds colour to your apartment. You can choose a pot that matches your décor and can turn even the tiniest plant into a stylish
They also help soften hard edges in a room and make the space feel more lived‑in. Choosing a pot that matches your décor can turn even the tiniest plant into a pretty feature. Over time, these little touches create a calming atmosphere that makes your home feel more welcoming and personal. You can choose a plant that needs very little care such as a succulent or a snake plant. These plants need a little water and can live in many types of light.
Both Bunnings and Heritage Nursery which both sell a range of plants that can be perfect to use in your home. It’s just a short 11- 21-minute drive from our Liverty Housing’s SDA Canberra apartment.
A Soft Lamp
Lighting can change the whole mood of a room. A soft lamp with warm light can make your space feel warm and cosy. Choose a lamp with a big switch or button so it is easy to turn on or off if you’re able to do so. You can place it on a table where you can reach it comfortably. The warm glow can help you relax in the evening and make your home feel more inviting.
You can buy a lamp nearby at Project Lighting in Phillip. They offer a wide range of lamps and lighting styles suitable for different needs. It is approximately 1.5km away which is a 4-minute drive or a 15–18-minute walk from our Liverty Housing’s SDA Canberra apartments.
Artwork or Print
One piece of artwork can transform a room without adding clutter. A framed print or canvas that brings personality into your space and makes your apartment feel cosy. Pick artwork that is easy to hang, easy to dust and doesn’t take up any floor space. This helps keep your home open and accessible. It also gives the room a clear focal point, adding warmth and character with very little effort.
