When an Accent Becomes the Statement
When it comes to decorating, texture is what gives a space life. It’s the difference between a flat, one-note room and one that feels layered, welcoming, and visually rich. But adding texture doesn’t mean filling every surface — the magic is in choosing pieces that speak, then giving them room to breathe.
At Stephenson House, we curate home accents that add depth without tipping into clutter. These 14 abstract pieces are our current designer favorites for creating a collected, tactile feel — all while keeping your space calm and intentional.
