Grouping –
When
you use a collection of items, it typically works best to keep them
together as a grouping instead of spreading them out as individual
pieces. Curio cabinets and sofa tables are often used to display
collections. You should considering grouping your collections in odd
numbers (3, 5, 7). Whether you hang your decorations, or place them on
shelves, spacing them out at varying heights is a great way to create a
more dynamic look.
Here are a few examples of how grouping accessories together can work.
Throw Pillows –
Throw
pillows are one of the most common accessories used in home decorating.
They can be a fun and easy way to add a splash of color and fun to any
room. Throw pillows are a great accessory because they are easily
replaced, and can be changed out for special occasions, or seasons and
holidays. Be sure to consider the style and color of your room when you
are looking for new or additional pillows to use.
Area Rugs –
Area
rugs can help define a space and help pull it together through color
and texture. They tend to be the “show offs” of room accessories, and
add design, mood, and pattern to a room. They are extremely useful in
establishing a style to the room that other accessories can support.
Placing area rugs at an angle, or angling a sofa or other furniture
across a corner of a rug can help add excitement to your room.
Wall Hangings –
Wall
hangings and framed art are popular accessory in most homes. The most
important thing to keep in mind is that you generally want wall hangings
to take an entire space. A small hanging or framed art piece on a large
wall leaves the wall looking disproportionate and naked. When placing
wall hangings, it is best to start at eye level and adjust up or down as
needed. If you are hanging a collection of hangings or art pieces, make
sure to leave at least 4-6 inches, so the pictures don’t look
cluttered.
There are an infinite number of things to accessorize your home with and just as many ways to use them. These tips are a few basic ideas in how to get started in decorating your home. For more ideas on ways to decorate your home, visit www.howtodecoratemyhome.net.
