Our accessories include everything from vases and trays to clocks and baskets, providing options for various design styles and functional needs.

Types of Accessories: Vases, Trays, Clocks, Baskets, Candle Holders, Books, and Wall Hooks

Vases and Decorative Jars

Vases and jars are classic accessories that can be functional or purely decorative. They’re versatile pieces for any room and suit a variety of settings, from hotel lobbies and office reception areas to residential spaces. Vases can hold fresh or dried flowers or stand alone as statement pieces, adding elegance to coffee tables, countertops, and shelving.

• For Modern and Minimalist Spaces: Choose clear glass or ceramic vases with clean lines.

• For Rustic and Bohemian Spaces: Look for textured ceramic or clay vases in warm, earthy tones.

Decorative Trays

Decorative trays, from coffee tables to bathroom counters, add organisation and style to surfaces. They provide a space to display items like candles, personal accessories, or small potted plants, helping keep surfaces tidy while enhancing the decor. Trays can fit any aesthetic, available in materials like marble, metal, and wood.

• For Contemporary Interiors: Opt for marble or metallic trays in neutral colours.

• For Industrial and Rustic Styles: Wooden or metal trays add texture and warmth.

Clocks

Clocks are both functional and decorative, providing a stylish way to keep track of time in a space.

Baskets are both decorative and functional, offering storage options that enhance the look of a room.

Books and Magazines

Books and magazines add sophistication and character, making them ideal for coffee tables, bookshelves, and lobby seating. They offer a personalised touch, reflecting the space's interests or theme. Choose books with visually appealing covers that match the room’s aesthetic, such as fashion books for a chic look or nature books for eco-friendly designs.

• For Luxury and Traditional Interiors: Leather-bound or hardcover books provide a sense of elegance.

• For Modern Spaces: Coffee table books with bold typography or monochrome covers add a stylish look.

Wall Hooks and Hanging Racks

Wall hooks and hanging racks are practical accessories that enhance the organisation and functionality of a space. They’re commonly used in entryways, bathrooms, and hotel rooms, where guests need convenient places to hang items. Wall hooks are a small yet impactful accessory available in various materials, from metal to wood.

Selecting Accessories for Different Spaces

Hospitality and Hotel Spaces

In hospitality, accessories should create a welcoming atmosphere while enhancing the property’s branding. Vases, decorative trays, and stylish books work well in hotel rooms, lobbies, and dining areas, creating a polished and inviting ambience. Choose colours and designs that reflect the hotel’s style, such as elegant neutrals for luxury hotels or vibrant colours for boutique properties.

Commercial and Public Spaces

In commercial spaces, accessories should support a professional yet welcoming environment. Sleek clocks, abstract artwork, and metallic vases fit well in offices, retail stores, and waiting areas, providing a sophisticated look. Choose durable materials that can withstand high traffic and are easy to maintain.

Residential Interiors

In residential interiors, accessories add personality, comfort, and style. Cushions, framed photos, and decorative jars bring warmth and a lived-in feel, while plants and unique trays add character. Select items that reflect the homeowner’s style, whether modern, rustic, or Bohemian.
