Odd But Useful Home Accessories
When we say odd, we don’t mean truly weird. Instead, we’re talking about things you just might not think about, especially when you think of HORNE. But our odd but useful accessories catalogue is expansive and we pride ourselves on finding pieces that both exemplify good, quality modern design, as well as make themselves indispensable in your home.
Nube Planter Feet
There’s something a little unattractive about the plastic trays you put under pots to catch water and keep air moving under the bottom. The Nube Planter Feet ensure pots don’t sit directly on windowsills where they can leave rings, water stains and damage, and dirt. Instead, suspend the pot on the charming, glazed stoneware planter feet.
Itac Cylindrical Vase
The Itac Cylindrical Vase is deceptive. A fantastic piece of décor, this vase sits discreetly in any room and holds fresh-cut or dried flowers and greens to add a pop of nature. Beautifully minimalistic and crafted from steel, this extra-large vase has a calming presence while still being a focal point when placed on countertops, mantel pieces, or on tables.
Erena Citrus Juicer
Truly a fantastic way to romanticize the little things, the Erena Citrus Juicer makes it easy, and aesthetically pleasing, to make your favorite lemonade. Use the juicer for any citrus fruit to create sauces, dressings, marinades, and drinks. The carefully crafted shape is molded from stoneware and features a built-in dish so not a drop is lost. The Erena Citrus Juicer will quickly become your favorite part of hosting and mixing drinks.
Fio Laundry Basket
An essential part of daily and weekly schedules just became a little prettier with the Fio Laundry Basket. This wonderfully simple basket is crafted from iron wire with a 100% cotton bag that is easily removed to make laundry a little less effort. The best part is how this minimalist laundry basket fits in any space from the bathroom to the hallway and the bedroom.
Hokan Textile Storage
For anyone looking to eliminate plastic from their homes, the Hokan Textile Storage bags are the perfect solution. These storage bags are made from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton and feature a number of pockets in addition to their main storage compartment to make storing toys, craft supplies, gardening tools, and easier. We particularly love how natural these bags feel in the home; they blend in and have an organic feel that creates warmth.

The Orrith Door Knocker is available in brass and brushed aluminum to match any front door color.

This beautiful book stand can be used in practical ways in your kitchen or styled on your coffee table with your favorite coffee table book opened to the most intriguing page.
