Browse our full range of Decorative Accessories — Accessories, fast delivery and 30-day returns.
Decorative accessories are the finishing touches that turn a well-furnished room into one that feels lived-in and personal — the ornaments, sculptural pieces, trinket dishes, bookends and small objets that give a shelf, mantel or console its character. Our range gathers everyday pieces and quiet statement makers alike, in ceramic, stoneware, glass, marble, wood and metal finishes chosen to sit comfortably in modern, country and traditional interiors.
Whether you're styling an empty bookcase, dressing a coffee table or hunting for a giftable piece, the guidance below will help you choose objects that layer up beautifully rather than clutter — with fast UK delivery and 30-day returns on every order.
A good display mixes a few different jobs, so it reads as considered rather than random.
The quickest route to a display that looks styled is to work in odd numbers and varied heights. Group three or five pieces of different heights together, with the tallest at the back, and let a single sculptural object stand alone where it can breathe. Vary the shapes too — pair something rounded with something angular, and something smooth with something textured — so the eye has contrast to enjoy. On a long shelf, cluster accessories rather than spacing them evenly, and leave clear gaps so the arrangement doesn't feel crowded.
Each material sets a different mood. Ceramic and stoneware bring matt colour and tactile texture and suit relaxed, natural schemes. Marble and stone feel weighty and refined, lifting a neutral palette with subtle veining. Glass keeps a busy shelf feeling light and open, while metallics and gold-tone finishes catch the light and add a little glamour. Warm woods soften harder surfaces and tie a scheme to the rest of your furniture. Sticking to two or three materials in a tonal palette keeps a collection feeling cohesive.
Layer accessories against a backdrop — a stack of books, a small tray or a framed print — so nothing floats in isolation. Repeat a colour or material two or three times across a room to draw the scheme together, and rotate seasonal pieces in and out to keep displays feeling fresh. Most accessories need little more than an occasional dust with a soft, dry cloth; wipe ceramic and glass with a barely damp cloth, and buff metallics gently to keep their sheen.
Work in odd-numbered groups of varied heights, leave clear gaps between clusters, and layer pieces against books or a tray so nothing floats. Two or three well-chosen objects per section usually look better than a crowded row.
Fewer, larger pieces tend to look more intentional than lots of tiny ones. Choose a handful of hero objects, repeat a colour or material a couple of times across the room, and give each piece a little breathing space.
A decorative bowl or tray, one sculptural ornament and a small trinket dish cover most surfaces. They add height, a horizontal note and a practical catch-all, and they suit almost any scheme.
Let material and colour do the linking. Even pieces of different eras or shapes sit happily together if they share a tonal palette or a repeated finish such as ceramic, wood or brass tone.
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Wipe ceramic and glass with a barely damp cloth and dry straight away, and buff metallic finishes gently rather than using abrasive cleaners.
Yes. Every piece is carefully packed for UK delivery and covered by our 30-day returns policy, so you can order with confidence.
