Getting the big pieces sorted, e.g the wardrobe, the sofa, the coffee table, the shelving are normally first on the hit list for sourcing for interior designers. However the fun part, and often where the finesse comes in, is with the accessories.
Rugs, art and plants can be quick wins – but it’s the unusual and interesting objet that can be most tricky and time consuming to find. You can be inspired by finds at flea markets, or come across something out of surprise in antique or charity shops – however many of us do not have the luxury of time to do this for fast turn around projects. So, for the time constrained buyers here is our top list of accessories from our very own cabinet of curiosities.
