Accent furniture designs go ultra-decorative with an array of inlaid offerings that really punch up the style quotient. Favored adornments include materials such as bone, capiz shell, natural wood and eggshell. Look for embellishments to create patterning that ranges from dramatic to more subtle, depending on the colorations and substance used. — LINDSEY STRADER

Inlay dots punctuate the round tops of Willow Green's nesting tables with nickel legs ($450).

Shown in black and natural, The Merchant Source's vanity table and stool are part of the Grateful Planet Collection, featuring cut pole rattan inlaid in sustainable wood ($478, table; $250, chair).

Made of lacquered eggshells and wood, the Eggshell Strips cocktail table displays a subtle bullseye motif, designed by Linda Donohue from Shawna Stoney ($999).
