Accent Architecturals Frames Your Life
Nothing tells more about your life than the photos you display around your home, and Accent Architecturals offers frames in a wide range of styles to suit any decor. Just look at a few of the gorgeous frames we have in stock.
Salvage artwork is a special passion here at Accent Architecturals, and our
Neutral Tin Frames are a great example. Made from antiques ceiling tins, these unusual frames have hammer pressed designs and come in finishes such as tan, and distressed white to name a few. These frames are quite lovely with a Country French decor, but their neutral color schemes compliment nearly any design style.
Our Copper Frames are truly unique. As copper ages, it takes on a lovely verdi gris patina, and the best thing about it is that each of our copper frames will have it's own individual look, no two being exactly the same. This adds character and extra interest to these fabulous frames.
For frames with warmth and rich character, have a look at our Multi Bead Frames collection. These wonderful frames are made with sections of salvaged bead boards from 150 year old plantation homes. All frames still have the remnants of the original varnish or paint on them so each has it's own rustic charm.
Perhaps the piece d'resistance of our frames collection is our Eiffel Tower Grille/Photo Holder. A fantastic piece of artwork on it's own, this can also be one of the most unique frames you'll ever set eyes on. Each story has a set of railings that will hold your photos in an informal setting, like postcards on a bulletin board. This frame is not to be missed!
We hope you'll enjoy browsing through our complete frames collection and hopefully you'll find something that strikes your fancy!

You can make your entryway inviting and stylish just by choosing a unique doormat. If your home follows a country design, then a straw doormat would coordinate perfectly to bring the indoor ambiance of your home to your entryway. If your style is more cutesy, there are plenty of clever looking doormats with artwork, or welcoming phrases.
However, if you're looking for a doormat that will set the tone for a unique welcoming, why not consider a wrought iron scroll work doormat from Architectural Accents? Our doormats are the ultimate in sturdy structure, and clean up is a breeze. Just hose them off and they're ready for more use. Let's take a look at a few of our offerings.
Our Half Circle doormats make an eye catching statement for anyone who knocks at your door, but the semi-circle shape is just a little less formal in style.
Our rectangular Scrolled Entry Doormats make a slightly dramatic statement with a more formal feel. Choose your doormat in antique white or antique brown finish.
A Flower Scroll Doormat would be the perfect doormat to place at a garden entryway. Never worry about tracking mud into the house again.
We're sure that once you browse through
Accent Architectural's selection of wrought iron doormats, you'll find a doormat that will help you make the perfect welcoming statement for your entryway.

If you can't go to Paris, bring the city of lights to you with this absolutely unique candle holder.
Guardian Angel Candle Holders suit both Old World and New Age interior designs. Use these candle holders in the garden or the home to bring a sense of spirituality and enlightenment to your decor.
A Fireplace Capital makes a wonderful candle holder for a large pedestal style of candle. If you don't use your fireplace, picture a set of three of these in place of logs on a romantic evening. These capitals are ornate in design, and you can place either side up to increase or decrease the size of your candle holder base according to the size of your candles.
Instead of chandelier, think candlelier with our lovely Candle Chandelier. What a wonderful way to add candle light to an evening garden party. You can intersperse plants among the candles on this unusual candle holder for a garden focal point that everyone is sure to remark on.
Candle holders may be a small part of any room decor, but they do make powerful accent pieces that can have a direct affect on the atmosphere of any design.

Make A Statement With Medallions & Pedestals
There are a couple of ways to make your walls seem taller and your ceilings seem higher. By the creative use of ceiling medallions and pedestals.
A ceiling medallion works by playing a trick on your eyes and expanding the visual height of a room, all the while adding a touch of elegant decor. Medallions are usually made of polyurethane but look like they are made from plaster or marble. They normally come unfinished and can be painted or stained to match the decor of your room.
Medallions come with either a center piece cut out so you may mount them around a light fixture for an extra dramatic effect in your room or the medallion will be solid for a strictly visual enhancement of your ceiling areas.
Pedestals are a multi-purpose decorating item. They come in a myriad of styles and you can either use them to show off a treasured piece of artwork or a favorite plant. Most lamps fare well on a pedestal and it's a marvelous way to make use of a corner space when space is small.
There is literally a pedestal for every decorating taste and they can add just as much indoors as out. A pedestal looks truly elegant on its own in the garden area or as a support for a flowering plant. Let ivy trail down a grecian style pedestal for a truly classic look.
Medallions and pedestals are small investments to make in the enhancement of any room, now that you know the many uses of both, look at broadening your decor!
