The art of enlivening rooms - Our furnishing tips for your home

Decoration is much more than simply placing accessories in a room. It is an expression of your personality, a play with colors, shapes and materials, and it creates atmosphere. But how do you choose the right decorations and why do we decorate at all? In the following article, we would like to give you some ideas on how you can set the scene in your home with the right decoration.

Why do we decorate?

Decoration is not just a question of style, but also of well-being. A beautifully decorated room can inspire you, calm you down or simply bring you joy. Decoration gives your rooms character and turns a house into a home. It helps you to reflect your personality and really feel at home within your four walls.

Diverse decorating styles


There are different types of people who approach decorating in very different ways:

The minimalist: The minimalist prefers clean lines, neutral colors and few, but purposefully selected decorative objects. Less is more here. Each object has a function and is carefully placed to create a calm and uncluttered atmosphere. The furniture from Kettnaker offers you the perfect basis here: with its simple elegance and high functionality, it fits seamlessly into minimalist interiors.

The maximalist: In contrast, the maximalist loves abundance and variety. Colors, patterns and a wide variety of materials are deliberately mixed to create a lively and personal environment. Here it can also be a little more - each object tells a story and contributes to the overall harmony. Our VITA modular furniture system allows you to integrate this abundance in style by providing sufficient storage and presentation space to showcase your treasures perfectly.

The collector: This type has a passion for special objects that often have an emotional or historical significance. These objects are staged to tell the collector's story. The room thus becomes a kind of gallery in which your personal treasures are presented. Our various display cabinets offer you the ideal stage for your collection, whether in an open or closed presentation style.

The nature lover: For the nature lover, natural materials and plants are indispensable. Wood, stone and textiles made from natural fibers dominate his decor, while plants of all shapes and sizes improve the room climate and create a connection to nature. Our furniture ranges, such as SOMA, ALEA, VITA or CASE, offer you a wide range of natural material options and surfaces that can be perfectly combined with natural furnishings.


Decorative elements and their effect


There are different types of decorations that you can use depending on your taste and room concept:

Textiles: cushions, curtains and rugs add warmth and comfort to a room. They are ideal for integrating colors and patterns into your design. Textiles can be used both discreetly and strikingly, depending on the effect you want to achieve. Furniture from Kettnaker offers the perfect complement to any textile design thanks to its versatile surface and material options.

Wall decoration: Pictures, mirrors or works of art set accents and can significantly influence the mood of a room. Art can inspire, make you think or simply bring joy. A well-placed mirror can also make the room appear larger and optimally distribute the light. With Kettnaker's bespoke cabinet and shelving systems, you can integrate your wall decorations perfectly and create additional practical storage space.

Plants: Green plants bring life and freshness to any room. They improve the indoor climate, have a calming effect and are also a decorative element that no interior should be without. From small succulents to large indoor trees - plants fit into any decorating concept. Thanks to their flexibility, Kettnaker furniture offers you many options for stylishly integrating plants into your interior design.

Accessories: Vases, candlesticks or sculptures are small details that give a room personality and make it individual. You should select and arrange these accessories carefully so as not to overload the room, but to give it that certain something. The surfaces and materials of Kettnaker furniture can be perfectly combined with these accessories to create a harmonious overall look.


Decoration is the icing on the cake when it comes to interior design. It gives you the opportunity to rediscover your rooms again and again and to give them a different look depending on the mood and season. With the right choice of decorative elements, you can create an environment that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functional and cozy. Furniture from Kettnaker provides the perfect basis for implementing any decorative idea in style.
