The importance of accessorising your home

Let’s face it you wouldn’t wear a little black dress without accessories, so why should your home!

Without accessories, homes can lack personality and feel a bit unloved.  Accessories will help any room feel complete and lived in.

Why?

Accessories can add texture, shape, colour, and pattern to a room design.

They can be functional and have a purpose such as books, bowls, and vases.

Used correctly they can help pull a colour scheme together.

The golden rules to accessorising…

Mix it up

Add pops of colour to an otherwise white room

Mix old and new pieces for an eclectic feel!

Have fun with playful lighting

Add Texture

Use rugs, cushions, and other soft furnishing to add texture and interest to the room.

Group Small Accessories Together

Groups small items in 3 to have a great impact and layer height of items for balance.

Mix Scale and Form

Take shape into consideration to add visual impact and interest. Plants for example will add texture, life and colour.

Think Outside the Box

A gallery wall doesn’t have to be pictures, use mirrors or baskets for something different.

That’s all from us! Until next time thanks for stopping by!
