When thinking of bringing an accent piece into your home, there are many ways to go about it. It might be a good idea to splurge here, depending on the kind of accent you need. Or, if your style dictates it explore flea markets or thrift stores for vintage finds. You may even try your hand at DIY for a one of a kind look. The idea is to find something that delights you and gives your home that something extra that makes people take notice.
Accent furniture are used in many ways
Start With the Entry or sit-out -The sit-outs at the entry points of your home, is the perfect place for using accent furniture. A bombe chest table, for example, is a great accent piece. Any other painted, gilded, or ornate chest will work as well. Select a chest with a strong colour or an outstanding shape.
Select Small Tables – Small tables are a great way to use accents in your space. Most often small tables that are painted, embed or have some other interesting treatments are used as accent furniture. They may be made from unconventional materials, or have strong colours or lines; the choices are endless. Just make sure to choose the table for its attention-drawing power. These tables can be used pretty much anywhere in your home from living rooms to bedrooms.
Furnish With Large, Imposing Pieces – An accent piece could just as well be a large and imposing piece. It could be an armoire, a china cabinet, a large painted folding screen. If you have a busy room, then your accent piece could be plain but with a striking colour that complements what you already have in the room. On the other hand, if the rest of your furniture is muted, then go for a tall, imposing ornate piece.
Choose a Chair with Flair – Chairs are very often used as accent pieces. When selecting an accent chair look, for one with a strong profile or outstanding upholstery or a colour that bowls you over. It can even be in a different style from the rest of your furniture for even greater contrast. We know that mixing two very different styles can create amazing results. So if the rest of your furniture is traditional, try bringing in a modern chair, or the other way round.
Dining Table Be the Star – A dining table is a natural when it comes to accent pieces. Find a table that stands out because of its material, colour, or finish. There are dining tables in every conceivable style and size. Choose one that appeals to you for the way it complements your dining chairs and the other pieces in the room. Arrange for lighting that brings it into its own
