The term accessory relates to many things including wearing apparel, such as a scarf, jewelery, glasses, and so on, to those bits and pieces we put around our home or office for decorations. We may have accessories on our dinner tables, such as the candles or flowers that decorate it, and we can get accessories for the car by way of a radio, telephone, television and satellite system, by way of examples.
That means that anything that fits into the category of non-essential items for the normal function of the main object is an accessory. With that out of the way lets look at some of the accessory items that Wikipedia and other references list in that category. They just might surprise you.

More could be added here but the details show that the term accessory can incorporate any article that is used in relation to an item but which is not essential to perform its primary task. So one might term items within a home as accessories, such as bits of furniture outside of the built-ins like cupboards, shower, sinks, flooring, walls, roof, wash basins and the like under this banner.
It is somewhat difficult, therefore, to actually draw the line on what is and what isn’t an accessory. Using the above information makeup is an accessory along with the tools used to apply it, so too the comb and brush, hair spray, shampoo and so on used in the beauty process. In fact, the list is endless and when shopping for accessories, especially through the Internet and an Internet shop one is not stuck for choice.
