Finding the perfect accent piece for your home isn't as an easy task, but it's extremely rewarding when you do. At John Elliott Interiors, we love helping you find the piece that not only complements you space, but also stands out on it's own and makes an amazing statement. As you begin your hunt for the perfect accent piece, whether it be a lamp, statue, or artwork, here are a few tips to keep you focused.

Look for Lights

Every room needs a little bit of ambiance lighting. Whether that's in the form of a lamp by your chair, a salt lamp in your kitchen, or a interesting lighting piece wired into your bedroom - look for something interesting. This will be different for everyone, obviously,  but don't be afraid to take a bit of a leap. Keep in mind that overhead lighting isn't always enough for a space, it's important, but sometimes the added look of a lamp is all you need to make your space pop. We have many gorgeous lamps in our furniture showroom at the Lake of the Ozarks, and we would love to help you find your fit.

Deck the Walls

If you have large blank walls in your home, it's time to fill them up! They not only lack appeal, but that can easily swallow up your room and make it feel overwhelming. The perfect accent can come in many styles, colors, and even materials. Whether you want a piece of fine art haging at the foot of the stairs, or a large mirror on your entryway - use these pieces to your advantage. Mirrors can give the illusion of more space, and the perfectly sized artwork can make your room feel brighter and more inviting.

Furniture Accents

Using small pieces of furniture to accent your room can make a HUGE difference. Chairs, chests, tables, and ottomans are all good things to consider when looking for something to accent your room. When you are looking for the right accent piece, keep in mind that while the piece needs to complement, but not blend. If you have a traditional style in your home, with red accents, you can find an ottoman that matches the style, but is bright red and pops in your room.

Something Fun & Small

Think of your room as an onion, especially when choosing the small and interesting pieces. The colors, your furniture, and even your rugs are all the outer layers. As guests look at your room more, though, they'll find the small and interesting pieces in your room and be delving into the layers. Are you looking for something small and fun? We've got some GREAT pieces!
