Finding the perfect accessories and wall décor for your home can be tricky.

The last thing you want to do is invest in a slew of accessories that don’t fit your space and end up in the attic within a few months. Rather, you should identify accessories and wall décor that allow for self-expression, stay in style, and work harmoniously with the rest of your furniture and décor.

Ready to truly make your space your own? Here are four key tips to help you choose the best accessories and wall décor for your home!

1. Follow the 60-30-10 Colour Rule

Interior decorators follow the 60-30-10 rule to balance colours. This rule states that 60% of a room should consist of a dominant colour, while the remaining 30% and 10% should consist of secondary and accent colours, respectively.
Make sure you keep this design rule top of your mind when picking out accessories and wall décor. In many cases, these items will fall in the 10% accent colour category. If your accent colours are beginning to overwhelm your space, however, don’t hesitate to implement décor that uses your dominant or secondary colours as well.

2. Find a Sense of Balance

While it’s true that too many accessories can lead to clutter and chaos, it’s equally true that a lack of décor can make your space feel hollow, clinical, and bland.

There is a fine line between over-decorating and under-decorating, so it’s wise to map out your space ahead of time. Generally speaking, décor should make up the final 10% of your home and should only be added once your furniture has been arranged.

3. Consider the Room

Each room should dictate the type and size of your décor—particularly your wall art. For a bedroom or bathroom, for example, it’s often wise to choose one large statement piece. Ideally, it should feature soft, calming colours that make it easy to rest. Big, bright tones can create a distracting eyesore when you’re trying to wind down.

In a large living room, on the other hand, there is space for multiple pieces of art. Be sure to use several different styles and sizes so that there is plenty of variety.

The dining room is the ideal spot for your boldest and most eclectic art choices. Interesting pieces can serve as great conversation starters when guests are over!

4. Diversity Is Important

Many homeowners like to ensure that their walls, floors, and furniture sets match, but you should take a slightly different approach when choosing accessories and wall décor. In fact, mixing and matching colours, textures, patterns, and styles is one of the best ways to make your space feel unique and personal to you.

At Direct Interiors, our 50,000-square-foot showroom features all types and styles of interior décor from more than 200 brands. Take advantage of our wide selection when filling out your space!

A statement in texture, not just light.
Handwoven details, soft diffusion, and that warm gold finish—this is the kind of piece that quietly transforms a room the moment it’s on. Effortless, layered, and designed to feel collected, not placed.
The kind of lighting that doesn’t just illuminate… it sets the tone.

Meet the kind of comfort you don’t have to think about—it just feels right.
Soft textures, balanced tones, and a layout that invites you to sit down, stay a little longer, and actually enjoy your space. This is what happens when every piece works together.
The real question is… would you keep it light and neutral, or add a little contrast? 👀

Not just a lamp—this is a statement piece.
Inspired by classic pagoda architecture, its tiered silhouette brings a sense of structure and artistry to any room, while the bold finish adds that unexpected pop every space needs.
It’s the kind of piece that doesn’t blend in—it defines the space.
Where would you style this—on a console for impact, or as a bedside piece for something a little more playful?

Soft, diffused glow. Warm brass tones. A silhouette that feels both modern and timeless.
The Arielle pendant brings a sculptural presence overhead—designed to draw the eye while keeping the space calm and balanced. Its linen shade softens the light beautifully, while oak and antique brass details add depth and warmth.

Soft layers. Natural light. A space that feels calm the moment you walk in.
It’s not about filling a room—it’s about creating a feeling. Warm tones, organic textures, and just enough detail to make it all come together effortlessly.
This is where everyday living slows down.

This is what outdoor living is supposed to feel like.
Clean lines, deep seating, and that perfect balance between structure and comfort—this collection brings an indoor level of ease outside. Built with a teak-inspired frame and made-to-order cushions, it’s designed to handle real life while still feeling refined.
It’s not just about having a patio—it’s about creating a space you actually want to spend time in. Morning coffee, slow afternoons, long evenings… all in one place.
Once your outdoor space feels like this, you won’t want to go back inside.

Light, control, and a clean finish—exactly how a space should feel.
Roller shades bring a quiet, modern look while doing all the work behind the scenes—filtering natural light, reducing glare, and giving you the privacy you need without blocking the view. Designed for simplicity, but built for everyday living.

This piece brings structure, storage, and a quiet sense of sophistication to your workspace—turning everyday tasks into something that feels more considered. With layered shelving and built-in lighting, it creates a setting that feels organized without looking busy.
Because a well-designed workspace doesn’t just help you stay productive—it makes you want to sit down and stay awhile.

A small piece that does a lot more than you think.
🛏️ At the foot of the bed. In the nursery. In that corner that feels unfinished.
The Boca Bench quietly ties everything together—adding softness, function, and just the right amount of intention to your space. With customizable fabrics and optional hidden storage, it’s not just beautiful—it works for real life.
