Home Decor

Compare height, width, depth and any frame or stand, not just the visible decorative area. For a group of pieces, include spacing between them. Check color and finish information while allowing for screen and lighting differences. Reflective surfaces and textured materials can appear quite different under the room's actual light.

Match wall fixings to the item's weight and the wall material. Check what is supplied and whether professional fitting is appropriate. Do not rely on unapproved adhesive shortcuts for heavy objects. Consider stability, sharp edges and reachability where children or pets are present, including objects displayed on narrow shelves.

Follow cleaning instructions for coatings, glass and fragile surfaces. Check whether replacement fittings or components are available. For bundles, confirm that all pieces are included and useful to your arrangement. Add mounting supplies and installation costs where needed. A decoration that is difficult to maintain or place securely is not a practical bargain.
