Accessorizing your home is a very important aspect in the decorating process. You can add character and beauty to a home in many ways:
Look at your home and decide what theme you want to accomplish. Is it a contemporary, country, southwest, traditional or ethic style? Look in magazines, books or the internet to find accessories you would like. Have at least one piece you treasure in every room! Purchase accessories that go with the theme and color of your room. Color choices should compliment the main color in the room.
It is recommended to group your accessories in odd numbers. Different heights and textures are also attractive. For example, a night side table can have a lamp, picture frame and small pot of flowers as a grouping.
Entry ways should be uncluttered. This area of the home is the first hint at what the rest of your home is like. A side table with your most dramatic or unusual accessories will set the tone in this important area of your home!
Pictures should be hung so that the middle of the picture is at eye level. Art work should be placed no more than five to eight inches above the sofa or seven to ten inches above a table....
