Neon has long been considered a major trend, especially in fashion. I love that it’s started making it’s way into home decor!

Now, neon and I are buddies, but for a while, that wasn’t the case. I am a neutral girl.

“What’s your most versatile accessory? I love styling, but do not want to collect a lot of little things to change out. So, how can I have variety without a lot of different pieces?”

Great question, but I couldn’t just name one thing. In the pursuit of making decorating practical and relatable, I narrowed it down to 5 essential accessories for styling almost any surface in your home. And I bet you already have all of them, maybe just not all together yet.

With these 5 things in different combinations, you can style a nightstand, a dresser, an end table, a coffee table, a decorative shelf…almost any surface in your home.

This will usually be the tallest thing in your arrangement. Every surface you decorate needs height relative to the other objects in the grouping. It could be a lamp or a pair of candlesticks, vases, or tall objects that are two different heights….
