Updated on September 26, 2014

Decorative Accents Enhances The Look of Your Home Décor

Decorative accents, such as, pillows, lamps, vases, wall art and centerpieces, helps to enhance the look of your home décor. They can be used anywhere in the home, living room, guests room, family room, powder room, and dining, but mostly visible in the living and dining area.

When you use decorative accents, you want it to be eye-catching, bringing attention to your room's focal point. But how easy is it to find colorful, decorative accents for the home?

During a recent home décor project I found out that colorful decorative accents are not always easy to find in your local store. It took weeks of shopping between close to seven different department stores, driving sometimes over 50 miles one way to finally find most of what I needed for my living and dining room.

The reason as you might well know is most stores that carries quality home decors hardly have a brick and mortar store outlet. They sell online and are not always easy to find unless you search for specifics, down to the color. Here are a few that I stumbled upon:
