The power of an accent piece

Accent pieces add personality to your home. Through colour, texture, proportions, and shape, they are the perfect accessory, says Metropol’s Zoe Fenton.

With a wall
Feature walls create visual impact. They take a room with a plain interior and add personality through bold colours or textures. Enliven a room by incorporating a feature wall amongst a neutral palette.

With a chair
Chairs can make a stylish accent piece. Adding character to a space, patterned or abstract chairs are bold eye catchers that add life to any room. Stripes, florals, or geometric, set the mood in your space with a contemporary chair that draws attention.

With a coffee table
Featuring a blend of colours, shapes and textures, abstract coffee tables add a unique aesthetic to your home. From geometric shapes to a combination of materials, abstract coffee tables make a great accent piece.
