Frequently Asked Questions
What types of decorative accessories are available?
Our decorative accessories collection includes vases, decorative bowls, trays, decorative bottles, boxes and containers, bookends, candle holders, sculptures and figurines, botanicals and faux plants, planters, and decorative objects. Materials range from ceramic and glass to metal, wood, and mixed media in finishes like matte black, brushed gold, natural wood, marble, and textured ceramics.
How do I style decorative accessories?
Use the rule of three—group accessories in odd numbers (3, 5, or 7) for visual interest. Vary heights by layering tall vases with medium bowls and low trays. Mix textures—combine smooth ceramics with rough wood or shiny metal. Create vignettes on accent tables, coffee tables, and console tables. Leave negative space—don't overcrowd surfaces. Repeat colors and materials throughout the room for cohesion.
Where should I place decorative accessories?
Style accessories on coffee tables, console tables, dining tables, shelving, mantels, nightstands, and bathroom counters. Use trays to corral smaller items and create organized vignettes. Place tall vases or sculptures on the floor beside furniture for vertical interest. Layer accessories with framed prints, home decor, and books for a curated, collected look.
How many accessories should I use in a room?
Less is often more! Start with a few key pieces and add gradually. For coffee tables, 3-5 items work well—perhaps a tray, a decorative bowl, a small sculpture, and a candle holder. For console tables, 5-7 pieces create impact without clutter. For shelving, alternate books with accessories, leaving some shelves sparse for breathing room. Edit ruthlessly—remove anything that doesn't serve a purpose or bring you joy.
Can I mix different styles of accessories?
Yes! Mixing styles creates an eclectic, curated look that feels collected over time. The key is finding common threads—similar colors, complementary materials, or consistent scale. Mix modern ceramics with vintage brass, or sleek glass with rustic wood. Combine pieces from our modern home decor with traditional elements for transitional style. Trust your eye—if pieces feel harmonious together, they work.
How do I care for decorative accessories?
Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For ceramic and glass, wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Polish metal accessories with appropriate cleaners to maintain shine. Avoid placing delicate items in direct sunlight to prevent fading. For vases with fresh flowers, clean thoroughly between uses to prevent residue buildup. Handle with care—many decorative pieces are artisan-crafted and deserve gentle treatment.
