Charming accessories for shelves, tabletops and more

By: Style at Home

The secret to good styling is not what you think. There's no need to splurge on, say, a closet full of designer gems or a room full of opulent furniture — all you need is a winning piece or two.
And the same goes for styling a shelf, tabletop or any surface area, big or small. To achieve a look that's picture-worthy, strip down your collection of home accessories to the essentials — like books, family photos and keepsakes — and throw in the odd statement item.
Below, a roundup of our favourite look-at-me accessories that will add a subtle touch of charm to your space.
