You’ve redesigned your home, put in new furnishings, installed new lights,
and now it's time to bring the project to a close with the bow wrapped on top.
So, how can you use home accessories effectively? Haphazardly placing
candles around your home isn’t going to enhance your style.
We’re here with 10 design tips for you to consider when finding those
finishing touches to your home.
How To Use Home Accessories
While there are exceptions to every rule these tips can provide a point of
inspiration for you to use as a springboard. Your space is yours to decorate,
and the most important thing is that you fall in love with the way you make
your space your own.
- Creating Order: Scattered
home accessories don’t feel cohesive. If you have a collection of smaller
accessories, or they’re placed on a workspace like a dining table, create
some order. We recommend choosing a tray to display small sculptures or
vases.
- Contrast & Color: Accessories
provide a pop of color and contrast to the space around them, so make sure
to group and place items for the best cohesiveness. Adding variety means
adding visual intrigue.
- Wall Art Synergy: Cohesiveness
comes from ensuring accessories and other furnishings complement each
other. Look at your wall art from a few paces away, and choose accessories
that enhance the overall view.
- Vary Object Height: Variety
makes the eyes happy, so group items together that have varying heights.
Try not to have two items that are the same height, or split them using
books or shelves if need be.
- Asymmetry: Like with
varying the heights of your clustered home accessories, asymmetry is
visually pleasing. Symmetry can be a great tool on a larger design scale,
but smaller items benefit from stepping out of the box.
- Odds Win: Keep in mind
the rule of thumb that grouping things in odds are better than evens.
They’re easier to style, and perfectly match the rule of keeping things
asymmetrical.
- Think Functionality: Home accessories
aren’t just for decoration. In fact, you might love a piece more if it
serves a purpose. Decorative trays and boxes look appealing and have
practical use in your home.
- Use Books: Books can be
used to add color diversity, new height levels, and entertainment. Books by
Assouline,
for example, are a marvel of art that continues to inspire as you flip
through the pages.
- Don’t Forget Atmosphere: Home
accessories aren’t just about looks. Candles, diffusers, and lighting
fixtures play a large role in the way you perceive and relax in your home.
- Focus on your Loves: Never buy an
item for your home just because it's trendy— focus on the style you love,
and let the experts help you find the pieces that bring that style to
life. Your home, your way.
