Home Accessories

I love home accessories!! They can add so much to a home!!
10 ideas to try - one at a time, or all of them!
1. Go seasonal - use the weather outside as inspiration in accessorizing a room  or your home.
2. Start with a great rug. The rug can be the foundation for great decorating in any room.
3. Pillows. use pillows in any room to add texture, color and pattern. Pillows are one of the quickest and easiest ways to experiment with color.
4. Focus on your favorites. Accessories are like women's jewelry. You would never wear all of your jewelry at once, and with the same idea, don't display all of your accessories at once. A good rule of thumb is to only display 20% of your accessories at any given time.
5. Use multiples. Quick and easy way to make a statement on a wall, or add interest to a hall table, or the dining room.
6. Arranging displays. The trick to finishing a room is to organize accessories around similar colors and like objects with like objects.
7. Display your art. Have a piece that you love? It can be the deciding factor for the room in color and future accessories.
8. Table Jewelry. Dress the table as you would dress yourself  - thinking of the plate as the necklace and napkin rings as earrings.
9. Fresh flowers or other 'disposable' decorating pieces can inexpensively change the look of the room.
10. Have fun - don't be afraid to try new things!!
