Home Decorating Tips from Traditional Interiors
 |
Accessories are the finishing touches to your home, those beautiful objects of art - custom pillows,decorative throws, paintings, mirrors, plants, flowers, clocks, candlesticks, sculpture, boxes - that give a room a feeling of charm, warmth, interest and assist in creating the desired mood. Accessories are usually chosen and placed because they give a certain look. Groupings make stronger presentations than single items. Group like metals, china and pictures. Use plants, either real or silk, or a sculpture on a pedestal to fill a bare corner. Keep the scale in harmony with the room and furniture sizes. The quantity of accessories used also depends on the mood and style. Look at each area and ask what you are trying to achieve - a dash of color, an element of softness, something to fill a bare spot, something to add visual weight. Start with larger objects. Stand back and observe where the holes are and then fill in with smaller objects.
-Whimsical finials add an extra dash to window treatments.
-Arrange same sized pictures in a triangle shape.
-Stand a brass plate on a dark bookcase to lighten and brighten.
-Hang clothes rods @ varying heights in closets to maximize space.
-Mirror a wall to create a feeling of spaciousness.
-A change in kitchen and bathroom cabinet hardware will have a large visual impact.
-Tired of those old dining room chairs? Try a slipcover! Or we can quickly recover seats with the fabric of your choice.
-Add fringe/tassels to window treatments and pillows for an elegant custom look.
-Rag roll walls to achieve a subtle depth and texture without overwhelming the room with pattern and design.
