Choosing accent furniture in a more traditional space is simply to do. Nearly anything can be used to add a decorative effect to the room, including picture frames, vases, lamps, cushions and rugs.

In a more contemporary space accent pieces are few and far between as the idea of minimalism is so much more prevalent. Thankfully there are some great creative ways to bring in accent pieces to a contemporary home while still embracing the modern minimalism.

Lighting Fixtures

One easy way to bring a cohesive look to the room is with accent lighting fixtures. Instead of choosing a sparse light fixture on the ceiling, add to the depth of the room with recessed lighting in interesting colors or even wavy track lighting that comes in black, white or stainless steel.

Accent Stools

The idea of accent furnishings is that it is not the main focal point of the room, but smaller pieces which contribute to the overall look. Since contemporary spaces embrace the idea of less is more, this can be a challenge. Accent stools are one of the few examples of furniture that may not be regularly used but still has a purpose and a decorative effect.

Lighting fixtures and decorative stools both serve as accent furniture in a more contemporary living space.
