Add a little wow to a room with one of these dynamic wild cards.

From side tables and poufs to terrariums and mirrors, we’ve found the season’s hottest home accessories.

The Lake Collection rug (from $15,975), designed by Raw Edges for Golran, transforms depending on your viewpoint, much like a body of water€”yet this shimmering optical illusion is solidly at home. golran.com; livingspace.com

Calligaris collaborated with Christian Dal Bianco on the arabesque-screen-printed Damasco mirror (from $231), and the result reflects (pun intended) a shared love of bold style.

With its bold hue and trim silhouette, the Pix pouf by Arper (from mini to five-seater, starting at $1,200) is not your standard seat. arper.com; livingspace.com

The charred Teton trunk ($599) from Crate and Barrel isa stump-cum-stool with a bit of heavy-metal gravitas.crateandbarrel.ca

The Cascade woolblanket ($300), designed by Vancouver's PostProjects for Umbra and woven at Oregon's Pendleton Woolen Mills, is an abstract-yet-organic interpretation of the coastal mountains. vanspecial.com; urbanbarn.com
