Home Accessories that Match Your Style

Home accessories make your home cozier, they give plain furniture a personal touch, and can completely change the look of a home in the blink of an eye. Feel like testing out a new trend or a specific color shade? Here is some advice for three exciting looks that can be achieved with home accessories.

1. Home accessories for purists

  • Textiles: You can easily add some life to a sober decor in white, gray or black with pastel shades. Throw some cushions in rosé or mint or with understated graphic patterns on the couch; place a cashmere throw over the back of a chair; and lay fluffy rugs on the floor.
  • Decorations and pictures: Illustrations and black-and-white photographs. Decorations should be used sparingly. They should also be genuine design classics, for example, by Tom Dixon or by Lassen.
  • Light: Light can always be used to create a welcoming atmosphere. It’s best to opt for several different light sources like table lamps on sideboards or floor lamps.
  • Brands: Joop, Leonardo, Möve

2. Home accessories for nature lovers

  • Textiles: Earthy tones or green hues look friendly and brighten up our moods. Combine them with the odd animal print cushion. Add some coziness to a room with chunky knit or fake fur blankets and sheepskin rugs.
  • Decorations and pictures: It’s best to go for landscape shots, or illustrated animals and plants in picture frames made of light wood like ash or oak. You can also add vases with natural shapes and objects like driftwood.
  • Light: Combine natural with artificial light: place different-sized block candles in groups, and opt for floor lamps with wooden legs.
  • Brands: Iittala, Jan Kurtz, Urbanara

3. Home accessories for boho-chic fans

  • Textiles: Eclectic styles rely on a mix of different materials and colors. Cushions made of velvet and curtains with a brocade look can be combined with throws with animal prints. Colors: strong tones like royal blue, mustard and dark purple.
  • Decorations and pictures: A mix of old and new – so paintings, which might be heirlooms, combined with abstract art. Coffers, fresh flowers and flea market purchases can be arranged to look like a still life. If you’re looking for inspiration, you might find it in designer Abigail Ahern.
  • Light: Bronze candle holders with a vintage look go well with lampshades with fringes. Dimmed, warm white lighting guarantees a cozier atmosphere.
  • Brands: Tom Tailor, Kare Design, Esprit Home
