When you are working on your design there are some factors to consider to get the most out of your home accessories.
Grouping
If you are an avid collector of accessories it might be wise to group them together as an accent piece rather than scattering them around the house. Big collections can be broken down and rotated to create a different design aspect every time. If you got them flaunt them. It is important that you do not over do it though, you want to reflect your personality and tastes in the room without over accenting it.
Off the wall
A lot of people think that furniture placed along the walls will make a room bigger this is actually not the case, all you will create is a boxed effect. A good way to avoid creating the boxed effect is to angle furniture pieces or create seating groupings that face each other in odd angles. A room that does not have a boxed effect will be more inviting. You will be able to accentuate your furniture further by adding home accessories like cushions, lights and throws.
It all hangs in the balance
When hanging pictures it is important to note the size of the picture in relation to the size of a room. When hanging a picture a good rule to follow is that the focus point of the picture is at eye level. If you are grouping different sized images try to place the bigger ones in the bottom row, it just creates a better balanced effect with the bigger furniture pieces surrounding it. Other than pictures you can also hang home accessories on your walls., mirrors especially can have great effect in making a room appear larger.
Hanging pictures not only need the best location it needs ample lighting to accentuate the images you want to place the focus on. This can either be created by using the natural light that enters the room or you need to place angled lighting to lift out the pieces.
The odd couples
Home accessories displays better if you group them in odd numbers, groups of 3, 5 or 7 is more effective than pairs. Balancing your items in odd angles instead of straight lines will create another dimension altogether.
Light up your life
