🖼️ How to Choose the Right Wall Accent for Your Space

Wall accents are more than just décor they’re expressions of your style, mood, and the energy you want to bring into a room. Whether you're styling a hallway, bedroom, or living space, here’s how to choose the perfect piece for your walls.

Consider the Scale of Your Space
Before choosing a wall accent, take a step back and assess the size of your wall.
•     For large, open walls: Oversized mirrors or multi-piece hangings create impact
•     For smaller nooks: A single raffia mirror or ceramic wall tile adds charm without overwhelming.

Tip: Leave breathing room around the piece it helps it stand out.

Match the Mood and Materials

Think about the feeling you want the space to evoke.

  • Want warmth? Go for natural materials like wood, raffia, or woven textures
  • Prefer elegance? Choose glass, metal, or minimalist ceramic accents
  • Earthy tones like beige, olive, and terracotta blend beautifully with most interiors

Tip: At Decoré, we curate pieces that balance texture and tone so your wall feels intentional, not just filled.

Play with Placement

Wall accents don’t always have to be centered.

  • Try asymmetrical placement above a console or side table
  • Layer with other elements like lighting or plants for a styled vignette

Tip: Mirrors, especially, can reflect light and expand the feel of a room form meets function.

Think in Themes

Group wall accents by theme or story.

  • A trio of raffia mirrors tells a coastal or boho story
  • A single statement piece anchors a minimalist space
  • Mixing materials adds depth just keep the palette cohesive

Let It Reflect You

Ultimately, your wall accent should feel personal.
Whether it’s handcrafted, vintage-inspired, or modern and clean it should speak to your taste and lifestyle.

Tip: A well-chosen wall accent doesn’t just decorate it defines.
