A Fresh Approach to Outdoor Spaces

Although the dreary cold days of winter may be approaching for much of the country and preparations for the holidays are being added to the to-do list, outdoor activities and gatherings have become an essential part of our well-being. Reimagining an outdoor space to be more than just patio furniture and a few planters has become almost important as preparing our indoor sanctuaries. We have definitely witnessed an ‘outdoor’ boom in the last couple of years as many weddings, events, and family gatherings embrace the beauty of our natural surroundings and accentuate them for one’s perfect event.

The Creative Team at Accent Decor analyzes trends around the world and continues to be the go-to-source for what’s new, current and trending. The multiple collections include purposefully designed pieces for home as well as pieces for small and large scale events, decorative spaces, and so much more. The Great Outdoors is a beautiful canvas awaiting the artistic creations from this amazing industry.

Featured below are images from the Accent Decor Outdoor Collection for 2022 but with an occasional image from the Accent Decor Catalog 2021. Click images for more details. Be sure to take note of the icons that are extremely helpful while browsing the Outdoor Collection.

The beautiful backdrop of the outdoors provided a much needed destination for gatherings. The creative genius behind planning events is only limited by lack of imagination and ingenuity. The last few years, we have seen boundaries being pushed like never before and outcomes have been nothing short of magical.

Accent Decor has designed pieces to be not only functional but versatile, and many are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Archways, Wall Stands, Gates, and Wall Hangings create ideal canvases for inviting entryways and stunning backdrops. With an assortment of metals and wood grain options, these pieces are a must for any collection.


Lighting, Lighting, Lighting…..We all know the importance and necessity of fabulous lighting. I believe the vibe of any space is effected by lighting and something as simple as a small votive flickering on a workspace desk can bring a sense of calm to a stressful day in the office. Accent Decor has an extensive collection of lanterns, votives, candleholders, candelabras, and candles for creating the desired ambience for the home, your own serene garden setting, and options for your business.


Anyone who knows me is well aware of how much I love plants. Accent Decor designs functional yet stylish vessels to not only serve as container vessels but are true design pieces for creating the perfect greenspace in any setting. Working from home and spending more time indoors only fortifies my love of having fresh greenery in the home. Not only for its obvious beauty but also as a necessity for cleansing the air and nurturing the environment.

Vessels for tabletops to large troughs for a variety of plant material, Accent Decor designs for all spaces and aesthetics. Adding height to any plant is not a problem with the addition of stands. The new collection also has a great selection of textures, materials, and colors that are classic and trendy yet still remain functional.


With the anticipation of a new move, I am looking forward to creating a relaxing outdoor space to enjoy the beautiful backdrop of the Tennessee mountains and precious time with my family.

Staying on Trend with Accent Decor

I believe we have all learned from the events of 2020: the importance of flexibility, adaptability, perseverance, and empathy. We are thankful to have the support of companies that understand the nature of the floral business and continue to accommodate the changing needs of the industry.

I am excited, once again, to highlight just a small offering from the beautiful collections of Accent Decor.

Show Stopper

Create a memorable WOW moment for any size event with the new addition of the Moon Gate and Lunar Grid Hanger. I am loving the Moon Gate! Made of metal, this sturdy piece will withstand the weight of full floral covering yet beautifully designed to accommodate partial exposure. Perfectly sized to be the focal point or used in multiples, the uniqueness of the Lunar Grid Hanger adds a starry element of magic and celestial ambience.

Geometric Metals

Geometrical structures have always fascinated me. A piece of art by design alone, geometric patterns bring an element of dimension and character to design. I chose these pieces for their modern yet classic appeal not only in shape but material. To me, metal will always be in style. It’s look can be very simplistic and can stand alone, or incorporated into innovative and futuristic design. Available in an assortment of finishes from burnished finishes to timeless golds, Accent Decor has a fabulous collection of metal vessels, stands, columns and more. 

Make a Statement

More than ever, we are longing to gather and connect with family and friends. Events and weddings have always provided the perfect backdrop for such gatherings. Although the grandeur of an entrance, the splendor of the venue, the thoughtfully, curated welcome gifts are wonderful components of an event, I believe the most intimate element for guests may be the reception, dinner, etc. Each season, Accent Decor introduces standout pieces fashioned to compliment any design or aesthetic. Search your favorites of vessels, stands, urns, compotes, and more.

Ambience

Last but certainly not least, llighting. An essential element to create the perfect ambience, lighting transforms a beautiful space and sets the mood for an event.  Whether you are creating a romantic starry sky, illuminating garden paths, or setting a romantic tablescape, the choice of lighting cannot be neglected. Explore Accent Decor’s vast selection of lanterns, candelabra, chandeliers, candles, votives, and more to add a warm welcome and romantic element to your event.

Although my focus for this blog post is events and weddings, Accent Decor has collections for so much more. Accent Decor brings you a vast selection of ceramics, glass, and natural vessels along with accessories for the home as well as the great outdoors.
