Decorating spaces around your home can be a combination of your personality as well as function. If your space is feeling a little boring or lackluster, there are some easy pieces that can elevate your space. When you are picking accent furniture, you may often look for comfort or extra storage, but many options combine style, function, and organization. In this blog, we will look at different accent furniture pieces that can help bring more character to your room while also helping you achieve better organization and function. No matter what room you are working with, these accent pieces can elevate your home without the need for a large remodel.
Ottomans
Most ottomans can perform multiple functions, including comfort and storage. Most homeowners utilize their ottomans as coffee tables, additional seating, footrests, and blanket storage. Having additional storage can be helpful for most homeowners, but including an ottoman instead of shoving items in a closet can elevate the space while keeping items hidden.
If you are going to utilize the ottoman as additional seating, a plush option will make everyone more comfortable while adding additional texture to the space. Plush materials can make your space more cozy and luxurious without breaking the bank. Ottomans can come in velvet, faux fur, fleece, cotton, minky, or other plush options, but make sure that the ottoman materials work well with the other textures in the room.
Arm Chairs
Livening up a living room, seating room, or bedroom can be done by adding accent chairs. When we think of accent furniture, we typically think of armchairs or small coffee tables. Additional seating may seem like clutter for certain rooms, but having ample seating for people to gather or cozy places to read or study is worthwhile. Even adding small accent seating can add contrast to your larger pieces like the couch, bed, or coffee table.
Accent chairs can help complement the other materials in your space, or they can be a direct contrast to the existing pieces. Modern accent chairs with harsh angles or bold colors can be a great way to refresh any room. All accent chairs should be functional, but they can also be dynamic, a conversation starter, or just a pattern you really love.
Bookcase Or Display Case
Bookcases and display cases are easy ways to highlight your book collection, pieces from your travels, or family photos, as well as change the entire look of your room. Refreshing your space can be easily done with a sturdy bookcase that mimics the look of built-in shelving. While display cases and bookcases help to make storage more accessible, they also create a focal point in the room, which other pieces can center around. The best way to create visual engagement is to put items across the shelves that truly show your personality and what is most important to you.
Nesting Side Tables
Homeowners who are looking for more surface space without adding more bulk can look into nesting tables as an accent furniture piece. Typically in a small side table form, nesting tables can be pulled out for movie nights, completing a hobby on your living room couch, or serve as a place for guests to place drinks while chatting in a seating area. These are great additions for smaller rooms as they can be easily tucked away when not in use. Because they don’t take up permanent space, you can easily add texture and style to a room without causing it to be overwhelming.
Textured Art Pieces Or Frames
While not technically furniture, art, photos, mirrors, and hanging pieces can help you easily refresh your space. Creating a gallery wall with family photos or thrifting a piece of art that speaks to you can be a great way to share your personality and tie the color scheme together. Utilizing different styles, sizes, and shapes of art pieces will add contrast to the space and can be great conversation starters between you and your guests.
