Just Add Character: 5 Unique Home Accent Pieces You Need to Try

Worried about breaking out of the cookie cutter mold? Check out these 5 unique home accent pieces that set yours apart from the crowd.

Home decor is big business, generating expected revenues of over $600 billion by 2020. But so many people decorate with the same boring home decor.

Why not use unique home accent pieces to express your individual instead? It's fun and doesn't have to be expensive either. 

Looking for some cool ideas? Check out these five unique home accent pieces that'll set your home apart. 

1. Statement Piece

The beauty of the statement piece is that it can be anything you want. It doesn't have to be art. Furniture, unusual wall decor, or an interesting lamp all fit the bill.

Small, medium, or large, it's a piece that captures your imagination and attention. The statement piece is the spotlight of the room. Design the room around it.

You probably won't find your statement piece in a big-box home store. But don't be surprised if you find it at a garage sale. Try a large mirror with an interesting frame on the biggest wall of your living room. 

Mirrors add light and interest.

2. Beautiful Lighting

We all need lights. But we don't need boring lights! Overhead lights are often utilitarian and uninteresting. Adding unique lighting to all your rooms sets you apart from the crowd.  

Try a funky modern chandelier over the dining room table. Or if your taste is traditional, find a beautiful old chandelier with lots of teardrop crystals. The right chandelier doubles as a statement piece.

Use lighting in a different way. Instead of a nightstand lamp, hang an unusual pendant light. It frees up space on the nightstand while giving your bedroom an unusual look. 

3. Display Collectibles

Do you have a collection? Don't box it away or keep it in the den. Install floating shelves high on the wall. Putting your collectibles on display is more fun than stashing them in the den or boxing them up. 

From vintage bottles to figurines, your collectibles add a personal touch. Do you collect baseball cards? Consider framing your favorites and creating a gallery wall. 

4. Try an Unusual Timepiece

Most people use their cellphone or the clock on the microwave to keep track of time. But a unique clock is functional and decorative. Find something quirky and fun and hang it in a prominent location. 

5. A Cool Room Divider

There are many interesting ways to divide a room. You don't always need a wall. Hang a decorative screen from the ceiling. Another great accent divider is an open bookshelf.

Use a tall, narrow bookshelf that's open on both sides. Put books and other decorative items on the shelf. Place the shelf between the two areas you want divided. 

Separate Yourself from the Crowd with Unique Home Accents

Don't decorate like everyone else. Set yourself apart with unique home accents. Put your signature style on the above ideas and be the envy of all your neighbors. 

Start with some statement pieces for the main rooms in your home. Use unusual lighting and fun clocks throughout the house. Divide a big room with a decorative screen or bookshelf.
