Quick Tips-Accessorizing a room

Putting the finishing touches for a home I have been working on today. It is all about the finial details “accessories”. Accessories pull a room together. I wanted to give you a few quick tips on accessorizing using this photo from Jonathan Adler.

Color is what ties is all together with this modern room. There is balance throughout with each color being brought into the room at least twice. An example would be with the pillows, tying the blues together.

It is about scale and proportion too, so you can see all layers, large accessories pulled with small pieces giving it a layered look.

When decorating a furniture top like this cabinet building your accessories up in a diagonal with the lowest point at one end “the stack of books”, to the highest point “the lamp”; create a wonder asymmetrical balance to the pair of chairs.

Imagine walking into your living room to find your toddler covered in marker along with your furniture! My daughter's "Marker Art" was a defining moment. It was then that I reinvented my business to find the very best family-friendly furnishings and solutions for my client's homes.

My blog shares the very best of what I have learned about family-friendly design these past 18 years.
