Oh, the joy of accessories!

A person can have a lovely home with nice things and it can look attractive but the overall effect is that nothing really grabs the eye.

What could make the pleasantly ordinary come alive are well-placed accessories. It is with decorative objects that a home gets its personality. Their color, form, texture and design transform a room from OK to “wow”.

It could be achieved by adding just one oversize art (bathroom below), one interesting object (the metal display ladder blanket below), or a collection of things that are distinctive and eye-catching like the 3 candle-wall sconces in the bedroom below.
For some, adding that out-of-the-ordinary vase or arrangement or piece of art does the trick.

Objects give rooms personality.

You may be able to achieve this yourself. Or with the right interior designer you would be amazed what can be accomplished on any budget and with items you own.

Color Tip: It is best to choose something that picks up a color already in the room or adds a new color that works with what’s already there.

Sometimes an interior designer can rearrange what you already have (like the 3 wall art below) and add one new thing (tall vase with greenery) that dramatically changes a room. One can hardly believe that so little can create so much pleasure.

During a time of unsettling global issues, coming home to a well accessorized home could bring you a sense of deep satisfaction. That’s not a bad feeling when uncertainty comes into our lives.

If you don’t feel you can accomplish this on your own, I can do this for you and we can both celebrate the change in your home!

Couple builds dream home in Walla Walla

Melissa & Mike visiting the construction site... a marvelous winter landscape! The calendar years of 2020/2021 have been one of the most challenging and unpredictable years of my life. On the other hand, they have also been one of my best professionally. The saying time flies when you are busy is true! My last blog was in November! Therefore, I am enjoying taking a break and sharing with you my pleasure in having had an opportunity to meet some wonderful new clients and catch up with existing clients. They kept me busy with consultations, renovations, new contractors and problem-solving with people working and teaching their children at home. You might think the interval during new construction won't have much of an effect on interior design, but decisions made from initial drawings and during construction have a profound effect on home decor. They set the groundwork for client satisfaction, such as this project. As the point person for a couple building their third (and fi...

Creative table tops add to dining experience

www.jellinadetmar.nl Whether it’s tea for two on an island in Capri or dinner for 10 in your home, a creative table setting adds an extra dimension to the dining experience. You can play with so many ideas, a Mediterranean theme, or Mexican or African…just about any country on the globe has cultural objects. If you do not have the accessories to start with, begin collecting whenever you see something that would work. It’s amazing what you can find shopping on your own house if you think out of the box. I always find something that I purchased on my travels like wraps from Africa or straw beach mat from Mexico as a table runner, bracelet from Hawaii as napkins holder, etc. Scarf from South of Africa Candles? Always! Add votives to take your centerpiece from day to night. You can play with colors and different heights to make the table décor interesting. You could go seasonal and use greenery in your garden or find some objects at the local nursery or your supermarket. A li...
