Secrets For Accessorizing a Home
The three surfaces in the home that need decorating are coffee tables in the living room, any entryway tables or consoles, and bedroom nightstands. Any space actually, but these three surfaces are the most forgotten areas in the home, but the most visible in the home. When decorating these surfaces, the rooms have a new look of style and aesthetics for the visitor to take an interest in or discuss.
The five most successful ideas to accessorize the home with tasteful style is as follows.
The first idea is using the horizontal line that is present on tables.
Number One: Use a tray, this approach is useful in keeping decor in a particular place, and a tray will cluster the decor in one area like a coffee table or small surface that clutter would damage the design style. Group items together on a tray for a neat or tidy design, doing this trick will make the decor look arranged nicely.
Number Two: Few things are overlooked and usually placed out in the open, but the best method to hide these items is in a box. Can you guess what these are? The remote controls, cable guides, pens, and keys should be placed in a decorative box to hide them out of sight. Hiding items in a designated area will ensure the homeowner knows exactly where these items are, and he or she will never ask where these items are after it becomes a habit.
Number Three: The designer will walk into the room and know if the art is correct. The homeowner needs to understand that the standard height of any art, displayed the main focal point at 58" off the floor. One should always hang art, mirrors, and photos at the right height for visual effect. If the pieces are small, the homeowner needs to hang art in a cluster, or a grouping, so the overall display is pleasing. Again, the focal point or the middle of the piece needs to fall at the standard height. Many people make a mistake by hanging art and mirrors behind and object of accessory, but it should be above or beside an item of decor to create a layering situation.
Number Four: Books are always a nice touch in any home. Not paperbacks, magazines, or guides, but real books. Usually if displayed in an area, a nicely bound book or hardcover makes a big difference. This idea has two uses, first, to display your preferred books so you can read at a whim, show your interests in literature, and make a color combination if need be for the design. Second, books can be displayed in different sizes and add height and weight to smaller objects of decor.
Number Five: Last, the homeowner, designer, or home staging professional should step out of the room when completed and return after a few moments. The person needs to see what is overdone or too much when accessorizing. A crucial move is to edit the design, and see if you can develop the area with fewer items, staggered elements of height, size, and shape.
Always be critical when looking at a display, this will move you away from the average decor to the unique.
These five secrets make a huge difference in decorating, and the homeowner will appreciate the efforts of the designer or be thrilled by his or her newly developed skill.
