5 WAYS TO TASTEFULLY ADD CITRUS ELEMENTS TO YOUR HOME DÉCOR

What better way to brighten up your home than by adding bold, zestful accents? Citrus-themed home décor naturally comes to mind whenever the design goal is leaned towards refreshing a space with a punchy color scheme. 

But while they do lend a visual boost and a summery vibe all year round, it can be quite tricky to decorate spaces with such home accents. They have to be used sparingly or placed strategically lest you end up with a kitschy space that’s too overdone it almost feels like you’re in a souvenir shop.    

Match their distinctively seasonal vibe with a timeless interior design style, so they don’t feel like holiday décor you’ll take down. There are ways to go about having them as staples in your house. Below, we give you some tips on how to squeeze your creative juices into a happy home with hints of citrus flair一from lemon and lime to orange and cilantro.   

1. Create a focal point in a room through fruity wall art 

Don’t shy away from color. Anchoring a space with a statement-making, eye-catching artwork is a tried-and-tested styling trick that delivers a wow factor. The key lies in balancing the boldness of the artwork with a muted wall or backdrop for that ideal fusion of playfulness and elegance.
