La Grange Interiors 5 Effortless Ways to Style Accessories with Soul and Character

If furniture and finishes set the scene, accessories are the storytellers — the final, expressive layer that turns a space into something personal. They’re where character comes through, where texture meets memory, and where small details leave a lasting impression. From sculptural vases and woven baskets to artful objects and well-loved books, these finishing touches have the power to quietly transform a room.

Few understand the art of this kind of storytelling quite like La Grange Interiors. With a keen eye for balance and beauty, the team shares five effortless ways to style accessories that bring soul, warmth, and instant charm to any space.

1. Cabinet of Curiosities

Think of this as storytelling through objects. The ‘cabinet of curiosities’ approach is all about mixing natural finds, cultural treasures, and historical pieces in a way that feels both collected and personal. It’s endlessly versatile – and best of all, there are no rules.

A piece of coral beside a handmade urn? Beautiful. A rare book paired with a weathered shell or vintage trinket? Even better. Vessels help give form to the arrangement, acting as anchors or frames for the items within.

You can choose a theme – oceanic, botanical, or travel-inspired – or embrace the charm of a more eclectic mix. Either way, it’s the perfect way to showcase the things you love, layered with meaning and a touch of wonder.

2. Same Same, But Different

There’s beauty in repetition – especially when it’s not quite exact. Grouping objects that share a common thread, like material, colour, or texture, is a simple yet striking way to add interest without overwhelming the eye. It’s a quiet kind of variety, one that feels thoughtful and refined.

Focusing on a single element – all-glass, all-white, all-marble – naturally shifts the spotlight to the shape and silhouette of each piece. Suddenly, form becomes the hero. Take, for example, a trio of white vessels or a cluster of glass objects in different shapes and heights – proof that subtle cohesion can still steal the show.

3. Mass Appeal

Sometimes, more really is more. A gathering of similar objects – be it vintage bottles, woven baskets, or sculptural vessels – has a way of making a statement all its own. When grouped, these everyday pieces take on new life, creating rhythm, texture, and a strong sense of presence.

Whether lined up along a sideboard or arranged artfully on a shelf, this approach is effortlessly impactful. It’s proof that repetition, when done with intention, can turn even the simplest of items into a bold visual story – low effort, high reward, and always striking.

4. Texture and Colour

In a pared-back space, accessories are your secret weapon – the quickest way to add depth, personality, and a touch of vibrancy. Think of them as the soft layers that warm up a room, bringing in texture and colour without committing to a full redesign.

The beauty of this approach is its flexibility. You can shift the palette with the seasons or refresh the look year after year, all without lifting a paintbrush. Pols Potten’s sculptural vases are a perfect example – available in a striking range of shades, from timeless neutrals to bold, architectural tones that instantly energise a space.

5. Form and Function

Beautiful and useful – the best pieces are both. Curating a small collection of objects with purpose and personality can instantly transform a tabletop, console, or quiet corner into something special.

Think sculptural vessels that hold blooms or serveware that looks just as good on display as it does in use. It’s about choosing pieces that do more than one job: practical, yes, but also a little bit poetic.
