Effortlessly Stylish Home Accessories

Ever wondered how glossy magazines create that glamorously comfortable ‘lived-in show home’ look? Well, it’s all about the detail - the use of beautiful textures and complementary or contrasting tones in home decor items to create an effortlessly chic look.

What are home accessories?

Home accessories describe decorative items that add to the ambience of the room - some of which are there purely for aesthetic reasons and others that are also purposeful and practical. Cushions are a great example - they provide soft and comfortable support but they also introduce colours, patterns, textures and designs to create a specific look.

Examples of the types of home decor items found in our range of homewares include:

• Wall art
• Soft furnishings such as rugs, cushions, curtains and blinds
• Floor lamps and table lamps
• Vases and jugs
• Pots and planters
• Decorative accessories such as candle holders and statues

Home accessories to match the furniture in your home

If you aren’t sure what style of home accessories to buy for your place, take a look around at your existing furniture. What style are you noticing? Whether it’s traditional or modern contemporary, there’s wall decor, cushions, lamps, and statues to match your style. Amart’s range covers a huge selection of new home decor, from what’s new in wall mirrors, to bar trolleys and umbrellas for your outdoor living space.

How to choose home decor

If you are decorating a bedroom or living room from scratch you need a few home decor ideas to get started:

1. Browse our range of bedroom or living room furniture and home decor online or in-store.
2. Decide which home decor style you love and feel the most comfortable with.
3. Visit one of our 67 stores around Australia. You can find your nearest Amart Furniture store here. Or buy homewares online to select furniture items and accessorise with complementary homewares items.

If you’re trying to create a particular look without replacing your existing furniture, then focus on accessorising those main existing furniture pieces with home decor items to create the style you want. How? By using colours and textures in home decor items such as cushions, wall art and floor rugs. You could:

1. Introduce blue and white colours, aquatic-themed decorative items, and natural fibres such as rattan for your coastal look.
2. Mix hard metals, bold metallics and natural timbers for your industrial look.
3. Choose light natural tones with no-frills, no-fuss finishes for your Scandi style.

Decorative home decor items such as cushions, rugs, sculptures, wall art, and vases are used alongside functional furniture items such as sofas, coffee tables, ottomans, side tables, and sideboards to tie all elements together and create one particular interior design style.

Style your home office with our range of home decor

Are you looking to inject a little personality into your home office with some fresh accessories? Perhaps you need some stylish storage baskets or a statement mirror to bring light into your workspace, or some colour with a new floor rug. There are so many ways to add practical and stylish home decor that lifts the mood and look of your office.

Your home decor selections matter

We know that our environment can greatly influence our mood and energy levels, so choosing home decor that you feel totally comfortable with and that works for your lifestyle is important.

Your chosen home decor can also reflect your personality and confirm your sense of identity - or help you explore what that might be. As our home is the place where we completely relax and recharge our batteries, it needs to be a space in which we feel comfortable and at ease with our surroundings. It’s easy to imagine:

• If clutter bothers you, a Scandi-style of home decor will create a relaxing vibe for you.
• If plush cushioned comfort is more your thing, you might prefer the Hamptons style of home decor.
• If sleek lines and smooth, unfussy finishes put your mind at ease, then contemporary decor will be right up your alley.
