Just as the right jewellery and shoes can take an outfit from ordinary to wow, the right accessories can totally transform your home! What’s more, accessories are a great way to truly personalize your space. The best part? Accessories let you experiment and update your décor frequently without spending a lot!
Some of our favourite accessory trends and classic accessory ideas are below. Discover what expresses your individuality:
Pottery & Glassware. Right now, coloured glassware is very popular, as is beautiful, brightly glazed pottery. Choose colours you love like turquoise or raspberry and showcase them on a shelf, mantel, sideboard or hall table.
Trays. We love trays, whether distressed wood, metallic, mirrored or any other material. Trays make grouping accessories easy and are also a practical choice if you choose an ottoman as your cocktail table. Add a tray just about anywhere and top it with collectibles for a one-of-a-kind display!
Creative Seating. Gorgeous accent chairs in rich colours are popular this fall, but less traditional seating is also getting lots of attention. Ottomans (doubling as cocktail tables as we mentioned above) provide extra seating and a touch of glamour. Poufs and benches are also trendy choices that can be moved about as needed when guests arrive.
Flowers & Greenery. The most classic choice of all! No accessory is more beautiful than fresh cut flowers or a growing plant. Choose a unique vase/pot and add flowers and plants to each room. Looking for low maintenance? Twig/branch displays and cacti are also trending this season.
Art. Your walls are a canvas for showcasing your taste in art. Whether you like bold abstracts, traditional landscapes or black and white photography, choose art that is meaningful to you. On trend now are ‘crafty’ looking pieces that are fun and whimsical, as well as pieces with a written message. HINT: Wall groupings around a colour or theme make a dramatic statement.
Mirrors. We’re seeing mirrors in every shape and size, many with a nod to retro looks of the 1960s and 70s. Treat yourself to a starburst mirror, a collection of small mirrors, dazzling mirrors framed in silver or gold or rustic options with farmhouse simplicity.
Boxes/Containers. Decorative boxes and containers are functional as well as attractive. They look great on any shelf or accent table and are perfect for holding remote controls, keys, gadgets or other small items. Rustic, rugged designs are especially popular right now, but you’ll also see plenty of modern and traditional styles.
Make your space uniquely and beautifully yours with accessories – it’s so much fun.
