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.
