Home Accessories That Add Character to Every Room
Furniture creates the structure of a room. Accessories give it personality. A well-placed vase on a console table, a set of candle holders on the dining table, a decorative sculpture on the bookshelf. These are the details that make a house feel like it belongs to someone specific rather than looking like a catalogue page where everything is technically correct but nothing feels personal.
Vento Furniture offers a carefully chosen range of home accessories designed to work alongside our furniture collections. Every item is selected for its design quality, the materials used, and its ability to bring warmth and character to the spaces where our furniture lives. These are finishing touches, not filler products.
The difference between a furnished room and a finished room often comes down to three or four well-chosen accessories. They are the last things added but frequently the first things noticed by anyone walking into the space.
Accessory Categories
Decorative Objects and Sculptures
Sculptural pieces, figurines, and ornamental objects that add visual interest to shelves, center tables, mantels, and console surfaces. These work best arranged in groups of odd numbers. Three objects of varying height on a console table create more visual depth than a single item sitting alone or two items that feel symmetrical and static.
Mix textures and materials within the grouping for richness. A ceramic piece next to a metallic object next to a wooden figure creates contrast that draws the eye across the arrangement. Keep the colour palette consistent with the room even when the materials vary. The objects should feel like they belong together without looking like they came as a pre-packaged set.
Candle Holders and Lighting Accents
Candle holders in metal, glass, and ceramic finishes serve dual purpose in any room. During the day, they function as sculptural objects that contribute to the visual arrangement. In the evening, a lit candle changes the entire mood, shifting a room from daytime efficiency to nighttime warmth in seconds. Place them on center tables for living room ambience, on the dining table for evening meals, or on bedroom nightstands for the last quiet moments before sleep.
Our candle holder range includes single statement pieces and coordinated sets of two or three in graduating sizes. The sets work well spaced along a dining table or grouped on a tray atop a centre table in the sitting room.
Vases and Planters
From tall floor vases that anchor the corner of a living room to tabletop options that fit on a side stool, vases work with both real and artificial arrangements depending on your preference and willingness to maintain fresh flowers.
Ceramic vases suit modern interiors with their clean forms and matte finishes. Glass adds transparency and lightness, letting the arrangement inside do the visual work. Metallic finishes in gold, brass, or brushed chrome complement our luxury collection and add warmth to neutral colour schemes without introducing a new colour that competes with the furniture.
Tall floor vases placed beside a sofa set or in the corner near a window create vertical interest in rooms where most furniture sits at waist height. They draw the eye upward and make ceilings feel taller, which is especially effective in apartments with standard ceiling heights.
How to Style Home Accessories
Less is more, and this is the one area where restraint consistently pays off. A few well-chosen pieces have significantly more impact than a surface covered with objects competing for attention. Start with one statement item per surface, then add one or two supporting pieces only if the space genuinely allows it without feeling cluttered. If you have to move things around to make room for a new piece, the surface is already full.
Match metal tones in your accessories to the metal elements in your furniture. If your sofa set has chrome legs, silver or chrome-toned accessories maintain visual consistency. Gold or brass furniture hardware pairs with warm metallic accessories. Mixing metal tones can work when done with clear intention, but unplanned mixing creates visual noise that makes a room feel disorganised rather than eclectic.
Consider the room from the doorway. That is the angle most people see first when they enter. Accessories placed with that sightline in mind create an immediate impression. Objects tucked in corners or behind furniture contribute nothing to the first impression and might as well not be there.
Accessories are also the easiest and most affordable way to refresh a room without replacing furniture. Swapping out decorative objects, changing the vase arrangement, or adding candle holders in a different finish can make a living room feel updated in a single afternoon for a fraction of the cost of a new sofa.
Accessories Prices and Ordering
Home accessories are the most affordable items in our catalogue, making them ideal for gifting, housewarming presents, or adding the final details to a recently furnished room. Prices are listed in Naira on each product page. Accessories can be added to any furniture delivery at no extra shipping cost within our Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt service areas.
For customers outside our primary delivery cities, accessories ship nationwide in protective packaging. Fragile items like glass vases and ceramic pieces are individually wrapped and boxed to survive transit.
Accessories make thoughtful gifts because they are personal without being presumptuous. You are not choosing someone's sofa. You are adding a beautiful object to a room they have already designed. Our showroom team can help with gift selection if you describe the recipient's home style and the room the piece will live in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see accessories displayed alongside furniture in the showroom
Yes. Our showrooms in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt style accessories within fully furnished room settings so you can see exactly how different pieces look in context rather than in isolation on a shelf. This makes choosing much easier and gives you a realistic picture of scale, colour interaction, and placement that product photos alone cannot communicate.
Do you offer gift packaging for accessories
Contact our customer service team for gift packaging options on specific items. Availability depends on the product type, size, and your delivery location. For items purchased in-store at our showrooms, gift wrapping can usually be arranged on the spot.
How do I choose accessories that match my existing furniture
Start with the metal tones. Match silver to silver, gold to gold. Then consider the material palette. If your room has warm wood furniture, ceramic and woven accessories complement it. If your space is modern with glass and metal furniture, choose accessories in similar materials. Bring a photo of your room to any Vento showroom and our team will walk you through options that work.
What accessories work best on a center table
A tray as a base keeps objects organised and prevents the table from looking scattered. On the tray, place a small vase or plant, a candle holder, and one decorative object. Keep the total height low enough that you can see across the table when seated on the sofa. Avoid covering more than a third of the table surface so there is still room for drinks, remotes, and daily use.
Can I return accessories if they do not suit the room
Our standard return and exchange policy applies to accessories. If a piece does not work in your space, contact our customer service team within the return window specified on our policy page. Items must be in original condition and packaging. We recommend ordering one piece first to test the scale and colour before committing to a larger accessory purchase for the same room.
