Decorative Accessories at Ashley Canada

The furniture gets the attention, but the accessories finish the room. A well-placed planter, a grouped set of vases, or a tray on the coffee table can pull a space together in a way that no sofa or dining table can on its own. These are the pieces that make a room feel intentional rather than just furnished.

Ashley Canada carries decorative accessories, including ceramic vases, glass and stoneware jars, accessory sets, planters, trays, table clocks, and magazine racks. Many are available as sets of two or five, giving you ready-made groupings without the guesswork. Materials run from ceramic and glass to metal and natural wood.

Before You Buy

Proportion matters more than most people expect with small decor pieces. A single vase on a large coffee table disappears. A cluster of three objects at varied heights holds the eye. If you are dressing a shelf, plan for taller pieces at the back and shorter objects in front, and use a planter on a stand at one end as an anchor while keeping the rest of the surface free for smaller items.

For rooms that feel visually busy, neutral tones in stone, white, and warm greige keep things settled. For rooms that feel flat, mixing textures such as a ribbed ceramic jar next to a smooth glass piece adds depth without adding colour. Odd numbers look more natural than even ones when grouping objects, and a set of five gives you more flexibility than a set of four, even if you spread pieces across two surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you style a bookshelf with decorative accessories? Work in odd-numbered groups and vary heights so your eye moves across the shelf rather than landing in one spot. A mix of decorative objects and small functional pieces like jars or trays keeps it from looking like a retail display.

How do you decorate a coffee table? Start with a tray in the centre to give the arrangement a clear base and keep objects from looking scattered. Add one or two pieces at different heights inside the tray, and leave some open surface so it does not feel overcrowded.

What is a planter with a stand, and how do you use it? It is a pot set into or mounted on a freestanding frame, which lifts the plant off the surface and gives it more presence. If you are looking to add more greenery throughout your home, our guide to decorating with plants is a good starting point.

What are good decorative accessories for a living room? Vases, trays, ceramic jars, and small accessory sets are easy to rearrange when your taste shifts or a season changes. Planters do double duty since they add height and structure to a corner or shelf while bringing in greenery.

What should you put on a side table? A lamp handles the practical side, and one or two small objects handle the rest. A short vase, a small jar, or a candle holder in a finish that echoes another material already in the room keeps it feeling considered rather than random.

What does boho home decor look like in Canada? Boho style leans on natural materials, layered textures, and a relaxed mix of finishes rather than one rigid palette. In practice, it shows up as warm wood tones, woven textiles, and ceramic accessories that feel collected over time rather than matched.

What are some decorative tray ideas? On a coffee table or ottoman, a tray corrals small objects and makes a styled grouping look anchored rather than accidental. The same approach works on a dresser or accent table for candles, small plants, or pieces that would otherwise look scattered.
