Accessories to Suit Your Home

Accessories to Suit Your Home: 

Accessories can often be seen as silly knick knacks but, they add a special touch to your home both aesthetically and for functionality. At Fratantoni Interior Designers, our luxury home interior designers believe that accessories add a flare that you cannot get with just furniture. For example, some of our favorite accessories to suit your home are below!

Dining Room Accessories:

First, when guests come to your home if you have table settings at the dining table it adds a complete look to the table. Having placemats that coordinate with other items in the room such as drapes or furniture is common to accentuate other colors. Such as the Royal Chateau estate below. Our luxury interior designers include gold placemats, white and gold napkins, and gold napkin rings to bring out the gold in the gorgeous art pieces.

While the table is set with accessories, another focal point in the room that adds a special touch is the art pieces. As seen below, the art sculptures and paintings are not only beautiful to look at but serve as conversation starters.

Office Accessories:

One room that is often forgotten about when it comes to aesthetics is the home office. You don’t want to have a busy or cluttered desk as you are working. However, there are small accessories that will fill the bookshelves and still have a sophisticated look to match an office vibe. Accessories perfect for the office include books, flowers, and a globe. The Elora Estate below has shelving behind the desk to hide miscellaneous paperwork. As well as other office essentials so that the desk can have small accessories to make it feel more comfortable and cozier.

Another accessory that our luxury interior designers believe is normally ignored is pillows and blankets! Not only do pillows and blankets make a room cozier, but they are also the perfect addition to incorporate different textures and colors in a room. The Royal Chateau formal living room below has pillows and blankets that tie in the other colors in the room and create an overall gorgeous look!

By Jessica Fratantoni • November 2, 2026
With the holiday season officially upon us, the home naturally shifts from a private sanctuary into a bustling gathering place for family and friends. While an exquisite menu and great company are essential, the true art of the dinner party lies in the environment itself.  At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we know that a flawlessly executed evening feels effortless to guests, but that effortlessness requires meticulous architectural planning. A luxury dining room must balance grandeur with intimacy,creating a space where conversation flows as easily as the wine. Here is how we design high-end dining spaces built specifically for the art of entertaining.

How to Design a Luxury Wine Cellar: Why It Must Be Planned Before Construction

By Jessica Fratantoni • October 29, 2026
For the avid oenophile, a world class wine collection is a lifelong pursuit that deserves to be celebrated. In today’s high end custom builds, the wine cellar has evolved from a purely functional storage closet into a breathtaking architectural centerpiece. Quick Answer for Custom Home Builders: Designing a luxury wine cellar requires far more than installing wine racks.To properly protect fine wine, the space must maintain a constant 55°F and 60-70% humidity. Achieving this requires structural framing for heavy vapor barriers, closed-cell foam insulation, and dedicated commercial grade HVAC systems.A true luxury wine cellar must be planned during the architectural blueprint phase, long before construction begins. At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we specialize in transforming the traditional wine cellar into a bespoke, experiential tasting room. Here is how we craft custom wine architecture that protects your investment while serving as the ultimate entertaining space.

Custom Millwork Design: The Defining Feature of a Luxury Home

By Josie Fratantoni • October 22, 2026
When walking through a high-end estate, the sense of luxury is often felt before it is consciously understood. While beautiful furniture and art play their part, the true hallmark of a bespoke home is its architectural permanence. At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we believe that custom millwork is the ultimate differentiator between a standard custom build and a world-class luxury estate. Millwork encompasses all the custom woodwork built directly into the framework of your home, from expansive library shelving and intricate wall paneling to seamless kitchen cabinetry and dramatic ceiling treatments. Far beyond simple storage, bespoke millwork acts as the architectural furniture of the home. Here is why prioritizing custom woodwork is essential to achieving timeless luxury.

Why Luxury Homes Need an Interior Designer Before Construction Begins

By Jessica Fratantoni • October 15, 2026
There is a lingering myth in custom home building that interior designers only step in at the end to pick out paint colors,window treatments, and decorative pillows. The reality? If you wait until the framing is up to hire your interior designer,you are already behind.  At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we approach interior design as a critical architectural discipline. Bringing our team in during the initial blueprint phase is the single most effective way to ensure your home’s flow, structure, and aesthetic are perfectly aligned from day one.

The Interior Design Decisions That Are Most Difficult to Change Later

By Josie Fratantoni • October 9, 2026
When designing a luxury custom home, it is easy to focus on exciting details like paint colors and furnishings. However,while a statement sofa can be swapped out over a weekend, architectural interior elements are permanent investments.  At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we help clients make the right foundational choices early in the process to prevent costly, time-consuming renovations later. Here are the five design decisions you need to get right the first time.

Why Some Luxury Interiors Feel Timeless While Others Feel Dated Within a Few Years

By Josie Fratantoni • October 1, 2026
Luxury interior design should never feel temporary. Yet many homeowners have walked into a home they once loved only to realize it suddenly feels tied to a specific moment in time. A once-popular trend becomes outdated. Materials lose their appeal. Spaces that felt current begin to feel disconnected from how the family actually lives. At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we believe true luxury isn't defined by what's trending today. It's defined by creating interiors that remain beautiful, functional, and relevant for years to come. The most successful luxury homes aren't designed around trends.  They're designed around timeless principles.

The Difference a Professional Interior Designer Makes in a Luxury Home

By Jessica Fratantoni • September 16, 2026
Many homeowners reach a moment when their home feels close to finished, yet something still feels missing. The architecture is beautiful, the furnishings are thoughtfully chosen, and the materials reflect quality, but the home does not yet feel whole. This is a feeling our clients describe often, and it is usually the moment they reach out to Fratantoni Interior Designers.  A luxury home becomes truly complete when every room speaks the same design language. This harmony is subtle but unmistakable. It shows up in the way colors flow from one space to the next, in the way lighting creates warmth and depth, and in the way furnishings feel tailored to the architecture rather than simply placed within it. When these elements come together, the home feels intentional, inviting, and beautifully finished.
