5 Best Faceted Home Accessories

Faceted finishes are a great way of adding visual texture and detail to your home interior. The sharp and defined edges, sleek surface areas and reflective materials make this trend the perfect choice for contemporary home interiors and those who wish to make a statement within their chosen space. These unique and elegant faceted accessories will become the jewellery of your room with their simplistic yet eye-catching design and jewel inspired shapes and finishes.

Mirrors are a great way of incorporating the faceted trend into your home this season as their partnership of defined lines and light reflective surfaces create a sense of glamour and illumination in both neutral and bold interior spaces. For a contemporary, abstract design select a multi-faceted angular mirror (left) and display in the centre of a feature wall, above a fireplace, seating area or bed where it not only provides a unique art form but opens out the dimensions of the room.

For a more traditional style then select a circular or rectangular mirror with faceted edges or gilded inlays that will create a sleek and elegant finish.

Faceted ceiling lights make a fabulous addition to any room of the home and create a focal point that can be co-ordinated with your other accessories and decor.

For a traditional and more rustic design then select a brass or deep steel diamond shape frame with faceted glass panels (left) that will look particularly striking above a country style dining table or hung in the centre of an open  stairwell. For a more glamorous look then opt for gold, silver and copper faceted pendulums that can be hung in singular positions or group formations for zoned area of light and artistic flair.

Vases, candleholders and lamp bases are a fantastic way of including faceted aspects into your home in a co-ordinating and practical manner. For a light and feminine look select classic white or pastel ceramics in orb or elongated faceted designs and accentuate with elegant flowers and a crisp white candles and lamp shades for a soft and inviting setting.

For a more designer feel then select glistening metallic finishes in diamond and square shaped designs that will look particularly striking along a mantelpiece or sideboard area. If you prefer a more contemporary and masculine finish then opt for monochrome colour schemes and incorporate a variety of bold geometric shapes that will become a piece of sculptural artwork within your room.

While you may not associate the sharp and sleek edges of faceted shapes with the comfort of sofas and armchairs, this trend can be transferred into your seating designs to create a textural and unique finish. For a classic, designer look that is innovative and artistic then opt for a faceted, wooden sculpted chair (left) that features a combination of colour tones and a varying degree of planed surfaces and angles that will look fabulous in both modern, industrial and retro style homes.

For a more comfortable take on this look then select a bucket or egg shaped seating area and upholster in quilted, facet effect upholstery in a deep colour that will accentuate the lines and angles. Team with a sleek gold or chrome framework for added contemporary flair.

Gone are the days where your furniture had to blend into the background of your room, this season is all about statement furniture items that will become the centrepiece of your home and a talking point among your guests. Faceted furniture items are a must have for this trend and by carefully selecting the style and position of your chosen statement item you can transform the entire look and feel of your home.

Select a single item such as a sideboard, coffee table, side table or chest and place along a feature wall or in an alcove space for highlighted visibility. Silver, gold and mirrored items look fabulous in a linear and repeating faceted design (left) and create an air of glamour that is perfect for a bedroom or dressing room interior. For a more classic or retro feel then select a wooden table in an orb or rectangular design with large planes and faceted edges that can be further accentuated by a rich and textural grain.
