You can add furniture galore to a room, but without accessories, that room will last luster and personality. There’s nothing better to tell your family's history, tastes and interests that accessories. Think of it like this - a home without accessories is like a fabulous new dress without shoes and jewelry!
Acquiring accessories can be fun and a never-ending delight. Whenever and wherever you see something that grabs your eye or makes you smilecatches your attention, acquire 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.
Ardent collectors of one type of object often purchase them without any thought of what to do with these treasures afterwards. Here are a few ideas of how these precious treasures can be incorporated into a decorative accessory plan for your home.
· Small artistic objects are most effective when arranged in groups of odd numbered pieces
· Blocks of wood – or old books can be used to achieve varying degrees of height as you place your accessories
· Silk plants are always an imaginative addition to an accessory plan
· It’s not necessary for groupings to consist of similar elements.
· Old fashioned family portrait photographs are not out of place in a sophisticated room, when grouped in a variety of interesting frames.
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.
