Classic Home Decor Accessories

If you’re looking to freshen up your home for summer, you might want to take advantage of some of these fabulous home decor sales going on right now…

Today’s round up of eight classic home accessories, could also easily be called “my favorite things to zhush up a room with” but, I thought the former sounded a bit more official…

Here’s the breakdown on these forever pieces:
 
 
 

 

1. Every space could use something green.

 
If you’re anything like me, it’s not so easy to keep plants alive – and replacing them gets expensive.
 
I tend to mix things up – a few faux plants and a few real ones.
 
For the most authentic faux plants, look for orchids and succulents.
 
PRO TIP: Diane James Home is the designer’s choice for high end faux flowers.
 
I love all of their offerings – they have such a wide range of different pieces.
 
Everyone can find something to suit their space, regardless of one’s personal style.

2. Decorative trays are one of the most versatile decorative accessories.

 
You can create a fool proof vignette with one well styled tray.
 
Add a candle, stack some books and a pretty ginger jar and you’re all set.
 
Try to choose a finish or texture that will compliment, but not match the finish underneath.
 
If you’re unsure, a rattan tray will always look chic.
 
 
 

3. Magnifying glasses are a fun and classic decor accessory to top off a stack of books.

They also add visual interest to a book case or night stand.

You can find some really interesting ones and even start a collection-which would look great grouped all together on an end table.

PRO TIP: Search Etsy for some great looking, affordable finds –like this one.

5. Silver bamboo picture frames.

These photo frames are such a great choice for photos, love notes, kid’s art and special invites you want to save and display.

These photo frames are timeless pieces and go great with several different styles of decor.

PRO TIP: Keep a few extra frames around – they make great gifts.

6. Coffee table books are the most popular classic home decor accessories.

These are such a classic decor go to…you probably have several in your home already.

Although, some are more attractive than others – click here for a comprehensive round up of my favorites.

7. Hurricane candle holders are an easy way to create symmetry in a vignette and also provide beautiful lighting when you’re entertaining.

PRO TIP: Group together hurricanes of different heights and sizes for a dramatic dining room centerpiece.

8. Ceramic bowls look great in a variety of places.

You can add these chic bowls to your kitchen counter or island holding fruit, in the front entry to catch mail and keys, or on a dresser / vanity with beads and bangles, just to name a few.

PRO TIP: Check out Amazon for some very pretty and well priced bowls.
