TIMELESS DECOR PIECES

Always in Style

At Tonya Maggio Interiors, we believe beautiful homes aren't created overnight—they're collected over time.

The best interiors are layered with pieces that tell a story, mix old with new, and feel personal to the people who live there. These are the timeless staples we continue to specify because they never go out of style and always make a home feel warm, welcoming, and lived in.

1. A Pleated Lamp

A pleated shade instantly softens a room and adds a collected, English-inspired feel. Pleated shades have become a favorite among designers for adding texture and timeless charm.

TMI Tip: Every room should have at least three sources of light.

2. Blue & White Ginger Jars

If there is one accessory we'll never tire of, it's classic blue and white porcelain. Ginger jars add color without overwhelming a space and work beautifully in coastal, traditional, and transitional homes.

We love styling them on kitchen counters, bookshelves, consoles, and built-ins. 

3. Beautiful Coffee Table Books

Coffee table books are more than something to read—they tell your story. We love mixing design books with travel, architecture, gardening, and entertaining to create layers that feel personal instead of staged.

Some favorites:

  •    Made for Living by Amber Lewis

  •    The World of Interiors

  •    Aerin Lauder: Living with Flowers

  •    The Finer Things by Christiane Lemieux

4. Woven Lighting

Natural materials instantly warm up a space.

Whether it's a woven pendant over a breakfast table or a lantern over an island, these fixtures introduce texture while keeping a room feeling relaxed and timeless.

5. Antique Brass Candlesticks

Whether found at an antique store or passed down through family, brass candlesticks add warmth, history, and beautiful patina to a table or mantel.

Our favorite styling trick? Mix heights and let them look imperfect.

6. A Wispy Live Plant in a Beautiful Cachepot

Every room deserves something living.

One of our favorite styling details is a delicate fern, white orchids, or airy ivy tucked into a beautiful cachepot. The combination adds softness, movement, and an effortless, collected feel.

We especially love ceramic, woven, or antique brass cachepots that bring another layer of texture to a room.

TMI Tip: Fresh greenery often has a bigger impact than buying another decorative accessory.

7. A Tailored Counter Stool

The right counter stool completely changes the feel of a kitchen.

We're always drawn to stools with natural wood, woven details, performance fabrics, and comfortable proportions that invite family and friends to linger.

8. A Vintage-Inspired Tray

Every surface benefits from a little organization.

A beautiful tray instantly makes a coffee table, kitchen island, or bedside table feel intentional. We love marble, woven rattan, wood, and antique brass trays because they help corral everyday items while adding another layer of texture.

xo, Tonya
