Home accents are like your signature scent. Like the unique configuration of apps on your phone’s home screen. Like your iced-cinnamon-almondmilk-macchiato order at Starbucks. Home accents are the good stuff — those personal touches that make your home distinctly and intrinsically yours.
Tonight, we celebrate our love for blankets, baskets, houseplants, and more, as we announce the winners of the Havenly Design Awards for Best in Home Accents.
“These pieces stand out because they’re stylish, functional, affordable and, most of all, versatile,” says Melissa Wagner, Creative & Design at Havenly. “They elevate any space, any style, all while weaving in personality and character into your home.”
These winners have been vetted by the hundreds of Havenly designers who voted in the Havenly Design Awards, which were created to spotlight the very best in interior design.
We’ve already announced the winners of Best in Furniture, Best in Room Designs, Best in Home Brands & Retailers, and Best in Home Inspiration & Entertainment.
On the horizon: the People’s Choice award winners, voted on by design enthusiasts like you!
But for now, order that pizza with double pineapple… fluff up those cheetah print pillows… You be you! Then get comfortable as you discover the Best in Home Accents.
