Updating home accessories and decor is the simplest way to update the overall look of any room in your home. Home accessories, being relatively inexpensive, are an easy way to incorporate changing interior design and home decor trends into your space. Therefore, it makes perfect sense to invest in trends in pieces that can easily be swapped out as they change, rather than investing in large, trendy items. Here are some of this fall’s trendiest home decor items and ideas.

Eclectic Looks This year, eclectic items that are mixed and matched in a single space are extremely trendy. For example, a living room in which this style is used could include a fireplace mantel that features a Buddha head, apothecary jars, tea light candles, a hanging oval mirror and an assortment of African style carved statues. The eclecticism makes the space visually interesting. The great thing about this particular home decor trend is that it can be incorporated into a number of styles. There are dozens of different takes and you simply can’t choose the wrong item when it comes to eclectic looks.

Finally, consider color when looking at glass or crystal light fixtures for your home. You may have thought that all glass or crystal is clear, but this is not true. Colored glasses and crystals are available, though are typically less common.

This floor mirror helps expand the sense of space in this small dining area and enhances the lovely hanging light fixture over the table. Choosing a mirror color that is similar to wall and/or curtains helps the frame blend with the other elements in the room. If you want a bigger impact, paint the mirror a color that contrasts with other colors in your room.

Dual Purpose Light Fixtures That being said, you should keep in mind that you don’t have to have light fixtures for every different issue in your living room. You can use one light fixture for a number of needs. For example, track lights can be used to create both ambient light and accent lighting.

Depending on the size and location of your wall art, you may be able to use wall sconces to highlight the piece. Upward pointing or downward pointing wall sconces can both work well for highlight wall art.

This dining room has the same shell inspired style as the accessories above. The classic French style is so Chanel. The gorgeous chandelier†is an inspired design.

It’s often advised against picking the color palette first. However, you can pick a sample color palette to help you find the right accessories for the space. In short, this just means carrying around a few paint chips with you as you look at home accessories and decor for the master bedroom. Don’t throw any paint on the wall or make any concrete decisions about color until you’ve purchased everything necessary for the space.
