Rules for Accessorizing

 

Dimensional Harmony

The most important DO in accessorizing is to consider the different dimensions and textures of accessories before selecting them to ensure balance and harmony in a space. If the size is off on a particular accessory, it can create a visually contrasting image. Consequently, varying the scale of your accessories, and considering their shapes provides impact and visual interest if done correctly.  

 

Layer

If you have a coffee table or console, make sure the accessories you keep on it have varying heights. For example, you can place a small stack of books and a tall vase together. This creates a few different visual layers and ensures the space doesn’t look flat. Creating layers using different accessories can elevate any area.

 

Create a Story

Storytelling is an important part of designing rooms that are effective and comfortable. Your living spaces must tell a story, rather than the accessories being arranged indiscriminately. The addition of artisanal crafts and rugs is a great way to tell a story. Display accessories that you have collected along your travels that will translate into your personality and life.

 

Use Wall Art

Here are just a handful of reasons to use wall art as an accessory.


-- Wall art provides an instant color palette. You can choose your wall color and other accessories by just narrowing the possibilities down to the colors and tones of one great piece of art.

-- Wall art provides an instant focal point that will draw the eye into a space. Consider the trend of creating a gallery wall in your hallway, living room, or dining room. 

--Wall art can add texture to your space. Seek out art that is created in different mediums for a rich texture that can increase the visual weight of your room. Wall sculptures and shadow boxes are other great ways to add depth to an interior space.

 

Use Table Lamps

Using lighting as an accessory is invaluable as it can create the entire mood of the room. Table lamps are also a great way to define the space in your room. Two lamps can help frame and ground a particular area in an open room. For example, placing a lamp on either side of a sofa.

With the right shade, table lamps can also add a real pop to a room when they are not in use.
