By Home & Decor Team -
The right accessories can turn an ordinary home into a luxurious abode — such as a glass bottle for your olive oil and hangers with a rose gold finish for your best threads. You can buy these accessories, at $5 and $12 (five pieces) respectively, at The Common Place on shopping app Carousell.

The much-anticipated smart home assistant from Google has finally reached our shores. Local homeowners can look forward to a hands-free experience with daily routines, from playing music to checking traffic conditions before heading out. Paired with smart devices, it can even switch on the lights or air-conditioning.
The Google Home range (prices start from $79), and its compatible smart plugs, bulbs and other electronic products, are available at Courts stores islandwide.
Homeowners who love a full stone wall, but not the hefty price tag, should browse Kelly Hoppen’s latest wallpaper collection for British brand Graham & Brown. Featuring nature-inspired motifs with the Queen of Taupe’s signature colours, it presents an equally gorgeous option at a more affordable price. Each design, including the pictured Crystalline, retails at 45 euros per sq m (S$71.78). The monochrome hues make the bold prints versatile and ideal for an elegant feature wall.

Compact and convenient: two words to describe Nespresso’s latest machine, Lattissima One. There are only two programmes (the Espresso and Lungo), one button to prepare the milk (sized for one serving only, reducing wastage), and an LED alert that reminds you to descale and clean. The machine switches off automatically after nine minutes, too, leaving you free to enjoy your cuppa. It comes in two sophisticated colours, Silky White and Mocha Brown.
It retails for $448 at any Nespresso boutique, including #01-14A Ion Orchard, tel: 800-852-3525 (toll-free) and online at www.nespresso.com.
The purveyor of authentic Persian rugs Nasser Nishaburi has collaborated with Spanish designer Luis Eslava for collections that merge traditional weaving methods with modern designs. The simple yet profound motifs of Silence Azerbaijan (left) reflects the quietness and calm of the weaving workshops, while the Kowli collection pays homage to the nomad gypsy women who make kilims out of home clothes.
Check out the Nasser Nishaburi rugs at Journey East, #03-02 Tan Boon Liat Building, tel: 6473-1693, www.journeyeast. com. Prices range from $970 to $1,680.
