Interior Decorating... It's the Small Touches That Count!
Many people underestimate the power of accessories. Often times
we have too many items placed in our rooms. This tends to look
cluttered and even messy. If you assimilate accessorizing your room
with dressing yourself, decorating will become much easier! Think
about your jewelry, handbag and shoes. You always make certain
they coordinate. (well, most of us do) This is EXACTLY how you
should think when "dressing" your room. The first step in creating a
room worthy of a decorating photo shoot is...
Less is more. Instead of packing your space with several
unnecessary items it is important showcase a few. Select your
favorite pieces and pack away others that are not so important to
you. Especially the ugly ones you have received as a gift from a
good intentioned family member or friend. Surrounding yourself with
the items you love is important in creating that "home is my haven"
feeling.
Uneven groupings of one three five and seven are best for
tabletops. This can include candles, books, framed photos, plants
and just about anything you have. Keep your group tightly together
and leave the remaining table void.
If you are an avid collector consider purchasing a curio to place
many similar pieces. Position your favorite items in front so you will
see them at a glance. Remember that not everyone is as excited
about your collections as you are. It is best to keep large collections
under control so as to not overwhelm your space.
Color and texture play an important role in every design. You can
introduce color quickly by placing a beautiful area rug in the center
of your seating arrangement. This also adds texture and will change
the acoustics of the room. Pillows and throws are a terrific way to
add color and texture for very little money.
Remember how you dress yourself. If you would never wear big blue
earrings with a small pearl necklace YOU CAN properly dress your
room!
Good Luck and Happy Decorating!
