A room rarely feels finished because of one big piece. It’s often the smaller things that give it personality - a favourite vase on a console, a tray on the coffee table, a striking pair of candleholders or something unexpected that catches your eye.
Our home accessories bring together decorative pieces chosen to add colour, texture, interest and a sense of individuality to your home. Some are useful, some are purely decorative, and some manage to be both. The common thread is that they give you something to work with when you're styling a room and making it feel like your own.
The Finishing Layer
Accessories are where you can be a little more playful. They don't need to match everything else in the room, and they don't have to be permanent decisions. A different vase, cushion or arrangement on a console can change the feel of a space without changing the furniture.
Use trays to bring smaller objects together, add a decorative bowl to a coffee table, place framed photographs among your favourite pieces or introduce candlelight in the evening. These are the details that make a room feel lived in rather than simply furnished.
From Practical to Unexpected
The collection moves between useful pieces and objects chosen simply because they look good. You'll find storage and wooden crates alongside photo frames, trays, umbrella stands and wine accessories, as well as more decorative pieces including vases, ginger jars, candleholders, wall décor and sculptural objects.
Some pieces have a traditional feel, while others are more unusual. Blue and white ceramics, aged finishes, natural materials, metal and bronze all bring a different quality to a room, so there is plenty of scope to mix rather than match.
Create Your Own Arrangement
The best accessory arrangements rarely look as though everything was bought at once. Mix heights, shapes and materials. Put something tall behind smaller pieces, introduce a different texture and leave a little space between objects so each one can be seen.
A console, mantelpiece, coffee table or open shelf gives you somewhere to build an arrangement, but don't feel you have to fill every surface. One unusual object can sometimes have more impact than a collection of similar pieces.
Accessories for Every Room
A hallway might need a striking umbrella stand and a mirror, while a living room can be brought together with cushions, trays, candles, vases and decorative objects. In a dining room, candleholders, serving pieces and a well-chosen centrepiece can change the atmosphere completely.
Because the collection is so varied, you can use it to add small touches throughout the home or find one particular piece that becomes the starting point for a room.
