When we dress our selves, often the last touch is a necklace,
or earrings, or some other adornment.
Think of accessories as the finishing touches for the rooms
in your home.
They can be elegant, whimsical, humorous or artistic. But
without these interior objects, a room can look like a plain Jane.
The challenge with accessories is their placement. If used
without the ‘eye’ and skill of an interior designer, accessories become just
“things”. Instead of careful staging by
a professional, they become clutter. They don’t add any attraction to a room’s
overall effect.
You could be talented in finding interesting accessories, but
without the addition of careful placement, they add nothing to the overall
look.
Here are examples of the magic that happens when you put the
right accessory in the right place at the right angle.
The effect is surprising.
Centering
oversize art above furniture is okay but if you want to create a visual impact
I recommend off centering as shown here with visual balance and a few
accessories.
Here are
more art placement ideas for you to add sparkle to your home
An accent wall color makes accessories and art stand out and you can showcase them as if they were in a museum.
Accessorizing with wall sconces.
Create a
new focal point with accessories behind the sofa, whether it’s art on a wall, mirror,
curtains, decorative items on a sofa table or a combination of all of them.
Throw pillows (and their counterparts, throw blankets) are the finishing touch on sofas, chairs, beds, and even benches, and they can really pull a room together, making it appear cohesive and welcoming.
Bring the outside in with fresh flowers and greens to your space. To create a visual impact I recommend off centering the vase as shown here.
