Decorate with Intention: Add Texture to Your Space with Accessories

If you think it’s time to make a few changes in your home, but you’re not sure where to begin, home décor accessories might be a good starting point. If chosen carefully, decorative accessories can give a personality to each room and make a huge statement.

One of the main ideas behind modern interiors is that form follows function, meaning all decorative objects should reflect their intended purpose. You can find stylish and functional home décor items that will add a fresh vibe to your living space, from walls to floors. Home accessories have the power to transform the overall look of any home interior and here are some ideas that might inspire you and help you make the right choice.

Get the Best of Both Worlds: Beautiful and Practical Home Accessories

Use Decorative Door Stoppers

The easiest way to create a beautiful interior is to be mindful of all the details. Maybe you’ve never thought of it, but door stoppers can be fun and elegant and still serve their purpose for your entryway or exit area. Even if you’re extremely careful opening your doors, without them you risk doing severe damage to your doors and/or walls. A door stopper can help prevent slam damage when a door crashes against a wall or hold it open when you’re carrying various items.

Also, it comes in handy when you have your windows wide open and draft is coming in through the doors. If a door is caught by the wind or swung shut quickly, fingers or paws can get in the door jam. To protect the hands of small curious children around the house or the paws of your pet, it’s best to keep your doors open.

Alongside these practical benefits, a decorative door stopper can add an aesthetic value to the look of your space. You can choose from a variety of sizes and styles, from narrow or wide to high or low to round or square, and find the one that complements the style of your home.

It is the kind of unexpected accessory that can give your home interior that finishing touch, especially when matched with the rest of the décor. You can choose a decorative door stopper that will add a stylish accent to your home. Keep in mind that not all door stoppers have to be fixed. Instead, you can find a secure door holder or draught excluder that feature a hanging loop, so you can simply hang it on the doorknob when not in use. This way you get a beautiful display that can be stored in the most convenient way.

Hang a Key Holder

Often overlooked, a keyholder is a very helpful accessory that can come in handy whenever you’re in a rush but also can add a chic and timeless appearance to your entryway. You won’t have to spend time looking for your key anymore, which can help you improve your daily routine and make you feel more organised at the same time.

A tray is very often associated with bringing the food essentials to the table. However, a decorative tray can serve as a beautiful accessory that provides a variety of decorative options for different areas of your home. If placed on the coffee table in your living room, it can easily become the focal point of the entire area. If put on your nightstand, you can use it for keeping your jewellery, watch or other items in one place while you’re sleeping.

Add a Unique Bookshelf

A bookshelf is one of the most interesting accessories in any home. You can find a unique bookshelf to organise the clutter and display your favourite books. Apart from books, you can use it for displaying many other items such as family photos, souvenirs and other precious items as well as documents, paperwork or items that reflect your interest and hobbies.

You don’t necessarily need a lot of space to install a bookshelf in your home. Instead, you can use a small area in the corner of your living room, or any other room of your choice, and make the entire space look more organised and stylish. Wooden bookshelves are the all-time favourite, but the good thing is that modern bookshelves come in a variety of materials, styles and sizes, so you can choose one that matches the décor of your home, with an open or closed back, depending on your preferences.

Install Mirrors

Decorative mirrors serve multiple purposes, from helping you set your best look for the day to making your space appear larger and more stylish. A floor-to-ceiling mirror can instantly make a room look twice as big.

If placed across from a window, it will bring more natural light into the room and make it look more spacious. If placed in a dark or small corner, a small mirror can draw light to the area and make it look brighter.

Apart from the practical purposes they serve, mirrors can be used as decorative items as well. They come in many different shapes and sizes, frame materials and finishes, so you need to make sure you choose carefully and select the right one for your hallway, bedroom, or any other area of your home.

You can hang a large, beautifully framed mirror on the wall of your living room and it will instantly become the centrepiece of the room, making it look bright and elegant. Even small mirrors can act as complementary accessories to your home décor if placed right.
