Accessories turn over faster than furniture, and they are the low risk way to change a room. Here is the newest, overwhelmingly Mercana, with Stickley, Lexington and Uttermost filling in: decorative objects, vases and candles and holders.

Sculptural Objects and the Case for Odd Numbers

Objects group better in threes and fives than pairs, and the eye is happier when heights differ. Start with one piece that has real presence, then let smaller things support it. Metal objects read graphic and hold a shelf on their own. Wood objects add warmth without color. Ceramic vases are where to take a risk, since one that fails moves to another room.

Black, Gold and the Neutrals Underneath

The color spread is worth knowing: black leads, then brown, white, gold and gray, over a base of metal, wood and ceramic. Black edges a space cleanly, which is why it leads. Gold works in small doses against warm wood and gray. Repeat one finish family, from clocks to candle holders to mirror frames, and the room ties itself together.

Accessories are the category where handling a piece changes the decision almost every time. Weight, glaze and the way a finish catches light do not survive a white background. Our Tacoma, Bellevue and Olympia showrooms style new décor on the furniture it belongs with, the quickest way to judge scale, and complimentary design services can pull a whole shelf together.
