My Top Home Accessory Picks {And Basement Sneak Peek!}

A room truly does not feel complete without the accessories. They definitely make the space and take it to the next level. For me, a room feels completely finished when there are layers of pattern, art and texture. It is through the careful editing that a space fully comes together. I thought it would be fun to round up my favorite accessories and pieces that work with any home and style. Every room pretty much needs one of these pieces!  :)

X Benches or Small Ottomans


Whether by themselves or in pairs, x benches and small ottomans look great under consoles, at the foot of a bed, under a large piece of art or mirror and to use as a foot rest. They are such a chic and practical option for almost any room. Plus, you can add a pop of color to the space by upholstering them in a fun fabric.

Poufs are similar to small ottomans and x benches, in that they can also go anywhere! I love seeing them in a family room or nursery. They are great for resting your feet, a small seat for playing games or a step stool for a child. The above nursery shows how they can add great texture to a room with a sweater like fabric. 

Abstract Art


Whether your home is modern or traditional, any space would look stunning with abstract art. It gives an edge to a room and shows an eclectic, fun style.

Sculptural Accessories

Our Living Room

Accessories with a fun shape add texture and interest to a space. They can be layered on top of a few books to add depth and dimension.

Do you have any favorite accessories to add to the list???

And now for a sneak peek {via instagram} of our finished basement... The carpet is installed and we are loving the new space!

The carpet is a light sand color, which is hard to tell in the picture. I can't wait to snap some real after shots soon!

Have a great day!!
