Accessorizing is the crown jewel of any room. When all the correct scale furnishings are put into the layout that will create the best flow for the room things begin looking good. But, once you add the finishing touches…..artwork and accessories…..the room goes from good to WOW!
A few key guidelines:
- Less is better than more…a few well chosen pieces can do wonders.
- Use large scale art and accessories instead of lots of small items.
- Classic accessories stand the test of time. Themed rooms can seem silly and outdated quickly.
- Collections should be grouped together, not spread throughout a room.
- Layering can be very effective.
- Varying heights brings beauty and excitement to a space
- Hang art work at eye level for the average person (the average person is about 5’7”)
- When hanging artwork above an anchoring piece of furniture, the artwork should be hung 6-10” above it.
- Create balance through symmetrical displays or “visual weight” groupings
