Decorative Accessories & Accents - Ideas | Welcome to Decorative Things. How can we help you? Since you landed here, you are probably looking for decorative home accessories or decorating accents. Obviously you've got flair and style of your own and you're not just looking for ordinary things, you want decorative things. That's where we come in.
We offer a mix of unusual decorator accessories and diy home decor. There are lots of unique home decor ideas here that you can make your own when you add them to your living room, kitchen, dining room, bedroom or bathroom. It could be some ikat fabric, an ikat throw pillow, or some ikat decorative towels. It's the accessories and decorating accents that make a difference in your home.
Working in the world of online home decor, we are inspired by the home decorating ideas of decorators throughout history - from the grand dame American decorators like Elsie de Wolfe, aka Lady Mendl, and Dorothy Draper to current designers like Charlotte Moss, Bunny Williams and Kelly Wearstler. By the way, all of these women decorators dressed, or dress, as stylishly as they decorate. So be sure to check out our Kenneth Jay Lane jewelry, cute duck umbrellas, cell phone handsets and more gifts for women and gifts for guys. Among our British gifts, you'll find Beatrix Potter Peter Rabbit dishes by Wedgwood, many Keep Calm and Carry On items and lots more. We seek out home decor with historical references like this British WWII poster. You can read more about the poster in our Keep Calm and Carry On History section. |
Besides ready made decorator accessories, we strongly believe in the importance of affordable home decor. We love diy home decor. You don't have to throw out your old sofa, couch or curtains and buy everything new when you start decorating a room. We have a great selection of decorative fabrics. You can upholster or slipcover a sofa your grandmother gave you with some of our fabric for upholstery curtains bedding or just refresh a room with some decorative throw pillows. Give your entrance hall or dining room a lift with decorative vases. Spruce up your kitchen decor with colorful cutting boards, and fun kitchen accessories. Make your bathroom look like new with unique shower curtains.
Even the greatest decorators with the most wealthy clients understood that decorating does not have to be expensive. Take Billy Baldwin, the great American decorator(1903-1984) loved simple cotton fabrics like ticking and himself chose to live in a one room studio apartment. |  |
In one of his books, Billy Baldwin Decorates, he talks about how something as simple as color can transform a room. Here's his wonderful anecdote about rugs and mats:
"A client of mine recently wanted to change her off-white dining room to something more exciting, but she had just inherited some Chippendale chairs and was afraid they would force her to have a forever-pale conventional room. She was so desperate that she was actually ready to sell the antiques. I told her that was the worst idea I had ever heard. After we repainted the actual room, we added a multicolor rug. I touched nothing else. This is the power of color. It gives a new life to old surroundings, and is the best thing for a budget because no color costs more than another color." |  |
Now you've got the decorating secret. You don't need to spend a fortune to have unique and unusual home decor. As Dorothy Draper said, "Decorating can be fun!"
|
Live beautifully and have fun.
