10 Aesthetically Pleasing House Décor Items Under ¥1,000

Though the presence of small decor pieces in your home is not as vital as having a fridge or a washing machine, these items are surely essential in their own way.

From your living area to your kitchen, and even up until private spaces like your bathroom, the importance of knick-knacks around the house should not be ignored. As a matter of fact, they not only add volume and depth to the ambiance of the residence but also give a personal touch to it, which in most cases is requisite if not meaningful. In other words, these elements prevent any home from being stiff and dull. 

There are plenty of house décor items available in the market, ranging from as low as ¥100 (I love you Seria) to as lavish as ¥10,000 (yes Zarahome’s vase, I am looking at you). The former does not necessarily mean it will be less pretty in the same way the latter is not entirely better. Depending on your budget, there are many ways to tackle the process of decorating your dwelling without breaking the bank. This time around, let’s take a look into some aesthetic goods under ¥1,000!

1. Coral decoration

This fancy-shaped interior ornament is a perfect addition to any shelf, rack, sideboard, coffee table, console table, or even bookcase. Though its purpose is solely for decoration and no other, the porous texture of the coral casts a subtly-appealing image on a space, easing up any flat visual perception of the area.
