I’ve learned many lessons from constantly re-decorating my home and the DC office over the years, one I have taken away is the fact that home decorative accents maketh a home. It’s all in the little details: your choice of rug, what you choose to display on your coffee table, and the wall art you hang up. I could just have a sofa and a TV console in my living room, but without all these accents the room will lack a story, a sense of warmth and a distinctive personality.
When purchasing accent furniture and decorative accessories, here are some other tips you might find useful:
- Don’t be afraid to play with colour, or introduce a pop of colour.
- Get movable furniture – I get tired of the configuration of my space every 6 months (just last week I repainted and reconfigured my husband’s home office), and my hands will start itching to move things around. Try it! You’ll be surprised how refreshing your space will look after every “shift”.
- Keep up to date with the latest furniture trends by flipping through interior magazines (i.e. Architectual Digest) or scrolling through your favourite home interior personalities (@eyeswoon, @putnamflowers) on Instagram.
We had the pleasure of working with Como Décor for a recent shoot we had, you can see how just three pieces of furniture can immensely help with the appearance of a set. Imagine if you introduced these 3 pieces into your own room: a rug to make your space cosier, wall art to introduce colour, and a side table that can act as a coffee table, or a display table. I like that the side table serves as a good accent piece due to its pink shade and rounded edges. I’ve picked out some more my favourite Como Décor pieces, scroll down to see more.
