Big Transformations with Small Accents

A great way to update your space without spending a lot of money is by adding or updating your accent pieces.

Smaller accent furniture and decor pieces are the perfect way to add color, texture, and personality to your space to spruce it up without overhauling your whole room!

Wondering what pieces to add? Check out our list of popular accent pieces and accessories to consider for your different spaces.

Popular Accent Pieces

Ottomans

We consider the ottoman as one of the most versatile accent pieces for both indoor and outdoor furniture. Ottomans can be used in place of a coffee table, as a footrest, or as additional seating when needed.

The versatility doesn’t end with where you can place an ottoman, but also in the shape, size, and even storage capability of certain designs. A circular ottoman can add more interest in your living room or a rectangular ottoman can be used at the end of your bed or under a low window for additional seating.

Watson’s carries a variety of ottoman styles, shapes, and even material, so you’re sure to find one that will fit in with your current decor style or one that you want to update to. Certain options also come with the ability to customize your upholstery to make sure you can match colors and textures how you want.

Benches

Similar to the ottoman, the bench is another multifunctional accent piece that can be used in multiple spaces in your home. From additional seating in your mudroom, to under a window in your living room, to seating for your dining room table, benches are easy accent pieces to add.

Because of their simplicity, benches can also be used and interchanged in multiple rooms, making them a great addition to your home. You can easily move them from one room to another when needed.

A simple wood bench, like this Ainsley option, can be used for seating, storage, decor, or all those options!

Accent Tables

Small accent tables are another great way to spruce up your room with more personality and texture. Whether you’re looking for a coffee table, end tables, or something for your hallway, accent tables can provide that easy style upgrade you’ve been looking for.

Watson’s carries accent tables in concrete, wood, metal, and mixed media, meaning you’ll find something that will surely fit the style you’re looking for.

For smaller spaces, nesting tables are a great addition to add more tabletop space, but only when you need it.

With unique shapes, materials, and sizes, accent tables can create a big transformation and centerpiece for your room

Area Rugs

Ever feel like you’re missing something in your room, but don’t know what? It could be an area rug! Indoor area rugs have a way of bringing your room together while adding texture and color. Especially if you have bare walls.

Area rugs can also be added to most rooms, but are commonly used under dining tables, in living rooms, and in bedrooms.

They are a simple and easy way to also add warmth to a room, both in aesthetics, but also literally for your feet!

When adding an area rug to your room, the most important is to make sure it’s the right size. Oftentimes people purchase rugs that are too small. The area rug should not stop at the beginning of your furniture, but rather go under your furniture.

Buffet and Side Boards

While many people think about the living room when adding in accent pieces, the dining room can get overlooked. Buffets and side boards are simple ways to add storage and style to your dining room, but also other rooms.

While typically used for dish and serve ware storage, you don’t have to limit yourself to those items, especially if you add to a different room. While they offer storage space, they also allow you to spruce up your room with decor on the tabletop.

Smaller Accent Accessories

There are lots of ways to add additional small accents and accessories to your home that can completely change the look and feel. Here is a list of other items to consider when you’re updating a current space or designing a new one.

• Curtains and shades
• Artwork
• Open shelving
• Pillows and blankets
• Lamps and lighting
• Decor pieces (mirrors, clocks, etc.)
• Greenery (real or fake)
