Nowadays, in the fast-paced world of luxury interior design, trends come and go at lightning speed. One season, we embrace sleek minimalism and quiet luxury; the next, bold maximalism takes center stage. That’s why it’s more important than ever to design with intention, infusing every space with personality, mindset, lifestyle, and even a touch of vintage family heritage.
These layered elements bring depth and soul to a room, creating interiors that feel not only elegant, but meaningful, authentic, and uniquely yours.
Fortunately, amidst the constant flux of shifting home décor styles, certain pieces and luxury accents remain timeless. These are the decorative accessories that transcend fleeting fads and consistently elevate living spaces with their elegance and allure that never fades.

3. DECORATIVE TRAYS – THE KEY TO ELEGANT HOME STYLING
A luxurious decorative tray is a must-have for creating an organized yet stylish space. Whether it’s crafted from polished brass, lacquered wood, or marble, these trays not only provide a surface for organizing other luxury pieces but also add an element of elegance and refinement. At Castro, we offer a wide variety of designer trays that can enhance your home décor with ease.
WHY DESIGNERS LOVE IT: Trays offer the perfect balance of beauty and practicality. They provide a space for showcasing elegant home accents like candles, vases, and sculptures, while also adding a sense of order and refinement.
4. SCULPTURAL ACCESSORIES – FUNCTION MEETS ART
In high-end interiors, functional art has become a key trend. Sculptural accessories like geometric sculptures, Art Deco figures, and designer bowls add a unique touch of luxury to any space. At Castro, we offer a range of artistic home décor that can bring both beauty and functionality to your interiors.
WHY DESIGNERS LOVE IT: Sculptural accessories add depth and creativity to a room while serving a functional purpose. These statement décor pieces are perfect for creating personalized, timeless spaces.
5. LUXE CANDLE HOLDERS – AMBIENT ELEGANCE IN HANDMADE BRASS
In luxury interior design, candle holders have become essential décor accessories that add both warmth and atmosphere. Designers favour candle holders crafted from fine materials like brass to complement other luxury accents of the living space. These pieces offer soft, ambient lighting and subtle sculptural beauty, making them perfect for creating an elegant mood during evenings or special dinners.
Opt for the Novel Candle Holder, a contemporary masterpiece from Castro, exquisitely formed from brass using traditional Portuguese metalworking techniques, it provides simplicity, graceful minimalism, and a radiant glow that enhances any table or console.
Or, go for the "Flower Power" concept that adds a fresh and romantic touch to the interiors – and the Botticelli Candle Holder is a perfect fit. Floral-inspired décor is a timeless way to bring softness and delicacy into luxury interiors. A design-driven piece that channels the organic grace of petals and blossoms into functional design. Crafted in polished brass with delicate floral motifs and a mix of finishes, it embodies both nature’s serenity and high-end Portuguese artistry.
This candle holder does more than hold light, it becomes a luminous sculpture, ideal for romantic tablescapes, console arrangements, or statement styling on a mirrored tray.
WHY DESIGNERS LOVE IT: Candle holders add a tactile, sensory dimension to a space. These decorative pieces also influence a statement lighting and ambiance. When chosen in luxurious finishes, they carry the sophistication of sculpture and function in perfect harmony.
The fusion of floral inspiration with refined materials like brass adds femininity, texture, and elegance to interiors. It’s a perfect way to soften bold spaces or add charm to minimalist ones. And as a bonus, they complement other accessories: brass candle holders resonate with other elevated pieces – vases, trays, and tea carts, building a cohesive design narrative.
6. SCULPTURAL BOOKSHELVES & DIVIDERS – CURATE AND FRAME
In modern luxury interiors, bookshelves and space dividers are no longer just functional, they’re architectural statements. Whether used to frame a sitting area or subtly divide an open-plan layout, sculptural pieces like the Matisse Divider from Castro Lighting merge artistry with purpose. With its solid brass structure and bold geometry, it acts as a visual anchor while still allowing light and openness to flow through a living space.
When paired with designer bookshelves and carefully styled décor, like Castro's bespoke trays, vases, coat racks, and candle holders – these elements help create visual structure, organization, and elegance across a room.
In modern-day interiors, a bookshelf is no longer just a storage unit, it becomes a curated display, an architectural statement, and a showcase of personal style. Whether freestanding or built-in, today’s designer bookshelves are crafted with premium materials like wood, brass, or lacquered finishes and styled with a refined eye for detail.
Bookshelves offer the ideal stage for Castro Lighting’s signature accessories: from sculptural vases and decorative trays to candle holders and artful objets. Carefully styled shelves create layers of texture and form that transform a room into a highly personalized, luxurious space.
WHY DESIGNERS LOVE IT: Combining open shelving and decorative dividers allows for multifunctional beauty. It’s a smart solution for zoning large spaces, while offering vertical real estate for luxury accessory styling.

In a world where design trends evolve rapidly, it's the thoughtful use of accessories that gives a space lasting sophistication. From sculptural trays to floral candle holders and architectural dividers, these carefully chosen pieces are what transform interiors into artful expressions of identity and elegance.
