Decorating with Accessories: A Guide to Creating Eye-Catching Displays
If you have an eclectic collection of things on display in your home, and want to take your displays to the next level, these 4 simple guidelines will help you create displays that feel fresh and interesting - while still incorporating the special pieces you've had for years!
Embrace Variety
Incorporate objects of different sizes to create dynamic displays. Avoid overcrowding with too many small items and consider investing in larger, more dominant pieces such as a sculpture, oversized vase, table lamp, or houseplant.
Harmonize Colors and Materials
Choose colors and materials that complement each other and your overall collection. Avoid combinations that clash or feel disjointed. Experiment with different textures and materials like metallic pieces, glass, mirrors, pottery, or ceramics to add depth and interest to your displays.
Experiment with Texture
Avoid flat and one-dimensional displays by incorporating a variety of textures. Mix and match different materials to add dimension and intrigue. Consider adding metallic pieces, glass, mirrors, or pottery to your displays to create visual interest.
Bring in Greenery
Add life and energy to your displays with plants. Whether it's houseplants, branches, flowers from your garden, or quality faux plants, they can instantly elevate your displays and make your space more inviting. Bringing nature indoors adds a fresh and vibrant touch to your home.
By following these simple guidelines, you can take your displays to the next level, creating fresh and interesting arrangements that incorporate your cherished pieces while adding a touch of creativity and personality to your home interior.
