Accessories are The Jewelry Of A Room

Designing a room starts with the floor plan. Maybe you’ve chosen the perfect sofa, chairs, tables, and lighting. However, rooms come to life with accessories. Accessories are the Jewelry of a Room.

Where to add Accessories

Places to add accessories would be the coffee table and any side tables. However, plants and silk flowers give room for some life. Similarly, think about including some greenery in your spaces. Also, on a relaxing sofa, a cozy throw is the perfect accessory for those cool evenings.

Drapery Hardware is Jewelry for Windows

A place often overlooked is the drapery hardware. In other words, custom drapery deserves beautiful hardware. It’s like adding a favorite piece of jewelry to a little black dress to complete the look.

Can There Ever be too many Pillows?

We all love pillows! They add color and texture to the sofa. Also, they add a much-needed spot to rest your arm when lounging on the sofa. However, when is it too many pillows? For a 90" sofa, no more than five pillows are the perfect amount.

Working with the Rule of Three

When you set out to create a grouping of accessories. Think about the Rule of Three. Start by making odd-numbered arrangements. Above all, I like working with one, three, or five pieces. However, sometimes a larger space, like a mantel or long shelf, requires a more significant arrangement to decorate the room.

Artwork is an Accessory

Don't forget about adding artwork to your walls. For instance, a painting or any framed art are accessories. Consider a larger piece for a big impact balanced with smaller accessories.
