Home Decor

Yes! You can absolutely mix different styles of home décor accents. In fact, it can be one of the best ways to define your unique style and express your personality. Home accessories are the finishing touches that make the most difference in your overall look – they instantly add your perspective along with interest, color, texture and depth. When choosing accent pieces, start with designs you love. Once begun, you can then take an approach of looking for commonalities, like color and materials, that help tie them together. For example, if you’re pairing a sleek, modern table lamp with an ornate, vintage mirror, consider using coordinating or complementary finishes and materials to create harmony. Or sometimes it's actually juxtaposition that will achieve your visual aim – create a striking, sophisticated look by styling an antique brass lamp like the Bassett Sheldon floor lamp with high contrast black-and-white artwork.

Bassett’s handcrafted wall baskets offer a richly textured option to intermingle with other wall décor like artwork, mirrors, and wall-mounted shelves. The natural, woven composition of the baskets adds a grounded warmth alongside smoothly modern pieces.

Whatever your aesthetic, accenting your wisely chosen core furnishings is what gives your home its distinctive character. With your mind’s eye turned both inward and out towards your ongoing personal journey, your home will tell your story, from yesterday into today and ready to include tomorrow.

One of the easiest and most effective ways to update any room in your home is with a fresh approach to home décor accents and accessories. Using the season as motivation, swap out accent pillows and add cozy throws to redefine the mood of your space with new textures, colors, or patterns. Try tossing a group of Heirloom Velvet accent pillows onto your sofa or sectional for some indulgent sumptuousness. Or opt for the artistic flair of our colorful Solar pillow.

To enhance your overall aesthetic anytime, add mirrors and strategic lighting to further the mood and ambience of your spaces. Being careful to consider what you will be reflecting, perhaps this is the time to opt for the striking leaner mirror you’ve been eyeing – nothing like a little drama and sophistication for a décor boost! Use any mirrors (or even a mirror gallery wall) to reflect and augment the light of new table or floor lamps. Lighting is such an important factor in defining your space, and any change in lighting is a rejuvenation of your aesthetic.

Don’t pass up the opportunity to introduce a new area rug for a foundational update to your room…or even outdoor living space. Add pizzazz to your living room with a patterned rug or cozy up your bedroom for the cooler seasons with a plush shag rug. With hundreds of styles, colors, and materials to choose from, you can transform any room in your home with one, well-chosen area rug.

Artwork is a décor accent that lends itself to a more evolutionary approach, an accessorization process that is often more of a collection or curation. That means every day is the right day to add a new piece of art that speaks to you – and for you – in your living space. But you can also introduce seasonal or holiday theming to your artwork, adding a few pieces and even (re)arranging them in a way that brings verve and a fresh perspective. For example, consider creating a gallery wall of framed prints, paintings, and dimensional décor that addresses the season or your mood. Whether you’re a person who likes frequent experimentation or carefully planned change, consider your display of artwork a window onto your spirit.
