The small but versatile home buy Kelly Hoppen uses to decorate any room with 'endless possibilities'

As the saying goes, the devil is in the details. And it’s because of this that we’re loving Kelly Hoppen’s expert advice on how the smallest of choices can really help shape the feel of any room - and how easy it is to switch it up depending on the decor.

Sharing a look at her new Splice Centrepiece bowl for M&S, "one bowl, endless possibilities", Kelly reminds us not to underestimate the impact of a centrepiece. It can anchor the room, but it’s also incredibly versatile and can be used to enhance any interior.

Kelly recalls how versatile a centrepiece bowl is for any home, saying: "There’s so much you can use it for… great as a table centre with flowers, or to put your keys, or even in your dressing table for jewellery and more."

Sharing the video on her social media, Kelly assembles a more traditional colourful fruit centrepiece using lemons and plums, but she explains how you can do so much more. "You can really design your kitchens using nice vessels," she begins.

"It's also great to throw keys and stuff on a whole table, " Kelly continues. "It's always good to have something like that. It's really versatile because it's small, but you can use it for anything.”

While a more formal centrepiece is always a great anchor for a dining table, creating a focal point that can set the mood in any space is just as valuable. It’s these more everyday examples Kelly offers that prove a centrepiece bowl can be added to any room, without the need for a special occasion.

If you want true versatility, a smaller centrepiece bowl or tray works as stylish storage. A bronze or hammered brass shallow bowl looks visually striking while giving you somewhere to keep your keys, phone, wallet, dog lead or anything else you’d normally need to grab before heading out.

A decorative bowl like Kelly’s M&S centrepiece can also tie together the overall feel of a room if you choose the material well. A sculptural ceramic bowl will add a statement piece to any space that is going for an earthy, outdoorsy feel, or the addition of a metallic bowl in a more industrial-designed space can be both functional and practical.

You can also easily dress up a coffee table or hallway table with floral arrangements or accessories that showcase natural elements and scents, such as bonsai trees or tabletop water features. This small but subtle design choice will help you foster a sense of wellness and a connection to nature throughout different pockets of your home.

As the colder months approach, using centrepieces to play with layered lighting is another option. Rechargeable lamps and smaller light features of different heights can be placed on centrepiece bowls and trays, allowing warmer, softer lighting - perfect for low-lit nights in front of the TV or for having conversations into the late hours.

Given her years of expertise and knowledge, we often turn to Kelly for advice when adding accent colours or creating simple displays to get the best out of any space.
