These Unusual, Head-Turning Accessories Will Make You Smile
Ever visited a home that made you turn around and look at the displays again? Here’s a compilation of some such spaces
Lose your inhibitions and let your quirky side take the lead. We look at spaces that experiment with humorous or thought-provoking accessories and art that appeal to the homeowners’ eccentric side. Scroll and be amused, entertained or even inspired.
This coffee table accessory reminds me of the ‘thing’ from the Adams Family. As the only object adorning this uncluttered tabletop and living room, it’s definitely creating quite a bit of interest.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane … no, it’s a dog! This toy flying dog hanging from the wall leaves me amused and also impressed with the playful attitude of the owner; this home is definitely a reflection of their likes and interests.
This recycled bicycle made from discarded spare parts from the Royal Enfield Thunderbird definitely dials up the zaninessr of this living room. Who said wall decor needs to be restricted to paintings and plants?

It’s safe to say that if you forget to take your phone inside the bathroom, you still have enough things to keep you entertained while you do your job. The man holding the toilet paper (check out his not-so-happy expression) and the graphic wallpaper around the tub area make for eye-catching elements.
You’ll need to look, ponder and decipher the meaning of this sculpture on your own. It looks like the kind of art that is up for interpretation – I think it gives form to our multiple, infinite, continuous thoughts.
With a mantelpiece setting like this, it’s Halloween round the year. If you’re an enthusiast of unconventional, outlandish things, these candlestands and mummified figurines will appeal to you.
This iconic photograph of Albert Einstein has been used widely in popular culture. Fancy using a life-size print in your bathroom? Because everyone could do with a little humour in unexpected places.

I like how the retro fibreglass telephone instruments add an edge to the dining room and make the space more lively, fun and idiosyncratic.

Someone’s always watching over you and that someone is a dog … or two. How would you react to a home that’s so dog-obsessed that the cushion covers carry portraits of them and the seating is flanked by two giant fluffy stuffed-toy dogs as well?
One thing is clear: the garage isn’t the only place to park a bike. This room uses the bike as a sculpture, hung from the ceiling. Notice that the helmet too has pride of place, kept neatly on a side table.
If you thought this coffee table was a dumping ground for all things miscellaneous, then you are clearly wrong – it’s a place for a figurine to kick back and relax. You could fit a tray, a glass, a mug or two, but that would take away from the super-cool art piece so well inserted into the table. It certainly helps create a calm, peaceful vibe in the room.

Now, a sculpture of a deer’s head would probably look nice in a room – but a decorated one would look even better. The dramatic lashes and the neckpiece give this accessory a standout quality. I’d try this at home.
It’s impressive how the designer has taken a brave initiative with the decor and injected a dose of fun in a very formal space. An ice-breaker during meals is guaranteed – the posterior of the chair and the ceiling design of slippers can turn any awkward first-time dinner or social into a fun one.
While taking a casual walk around the garden, these expressive sculptures busy striking very human, life-like poses can cause anyone to do a double take and look closely again – a different way to accessorise the garden.
