More than anything else in your home, accessories give each and every room a little bit of your personality! Without them, you only have the setting for a model room in a model home.
Accessories make each room come alive with pop and pizzazz! There’s nothing better to help reflect your tastes and those of your family. Simply stated, a home without accessories is like food without seasoning!
Acquiring accessories is truly a never-ending delight. Whenever and wherever you see something that grabs your eye or catches your attention, buy it if possible. Because it will give you never-ending pleasure every time you look at it. Plus, it adds a very personal touch to your home.
Adding or changing out accessories can renew an otherwise tired room and make it enjoyable and refreshing to you again.
HERE ARE A FEW IDEAS of how these precious treasures can be incorporated into a decorative accessory plan for your home.
- Smaller objects are most effective when arranged in groups, usually of odd-numbered pieces. However, this rule can be broken if the scale and proportion are met.
- Books can be used to achieve varying degrees of height as you place your accessories and they are decorative in their own right.
- Silk plants used in moderation or simple vases with a single flower type make a bold statement in any room.
- Groupings don’t need to consist of similar elements. In other words, you can make a grouping of 3 items of different types of things. For example, one candlestick with a lower vase and a small grass plant. Usually, you want items in a group to be of varying heights.
- Hanging small family pictures or artwork together will achieve more presence and become a focal point.
- Above all, let your imagination soar as you place your precious accessories. By adding this “spice” to your design plan, you’ll be sure to add the decorative finishing touches each room craves.
