Accessorizing Your Home The Right Way
Ask any decent interior designer and they will tell you that it is all in the detail. What they mean by this is that you can have lots of stunning colours, huge spaces and luxurious pieces of furniture, but unless your finish is high quality and you have the right accessories, youll never achieve a good look.Below we examine 3 ways to easily make sure you get the accessories right and leave your home looking great.
Stick to One Colour. When in doubt, and if youre not a designer, stick to one colour for your accessories.You don’t need to have all your items exactly the same colour tone, but it’s best to try and stick to a close range. For example, you might have some red pillows, with a red-pink clock on the wall and a ruby coloured candle stick set. If you stick to using the same colour, there will be a nice flow throughout the room and you wont have any unsightly clashing.
Buy Quality. It is always much better to buy a few quality items to accessories your room, rather than try and get lots of cheaper bits.You don’t have to go out and break the bank, just make sure the important pieces, such as the things people touch and feel are decent quality. Tableware for example is a key item to get right, as they are not only often closely inspected, but people actually use the items in everyday life.
Use Functional Items. As mentioned above, functional items are not the easiest things to get right. That said, these types of pieces often influence the look and feel of a room the most.Select items that match your persona and style. If your not into sports, then please don’t have rowing oars mounted on your walls, or display medals that you got in a charity shop. However if you are a big whisky or wine drinker, having the right glassware on show looks good. You might have ISO wine glasses on show or some decanters, it really doesnt matter as long as it represents you well.
