The Importance of Accessories........

  • A design job is never complete without the addition of accessories. This includes a multitude of objects : artwork, lamps, table accessories, pillows, photographs, and plants and floral arrangements.
  • You should allow 10-20% of your budget in this category, as this is what makes a room sing...
  • Everything in the room contributes to the all over picture so when you walk into a room you capture the overall look ,not just the sofa, the rug, or any other piece. It all needs to work together.
  • Accessorizing a room is where most people fall short. It is far more difficult to choose a correct lamp, style and height than a sofa.
  • It is even more difficult to choose artwork in the correct size,(there is no correct subject matter-anything goes here) and even harder, hang it correctly.
  • In my next few blogs we are going to dissect each category and give you some design tools to use.
