It brings depth and vibrance to an otherwise bare space!

Personal flair through accessorizing should be beautiful and comforting! Find a home worth celebrating with design knowledge that brings endless possibilities of beauty to your daily life! With each new accessory, a new life awaits. Bring more visual appeal and functionality to your home, and learn to accessorize like a pro!
Personal Decorations
Prioritize your home’s purpose to keep your space from feeling empty! Decorations should celebrate all that you are. Filling your space with pieces that resonate with you should inspire and elevate your home life. Accessorizing with intention will create a charming, relaxed, and grounded appeal to your space! Consider designing with organic shapes and handcrafted pieces that bring originality and functionality to you and shared spaces. Handmade ceramics and artwork by your favorite artists are other great ways to cultivate your alluring realm! Design should bring out your most beautiful qualities, so what are you waiting for? Discover an abundance of comfort that awaits with each personalized decoration!
Asymmetry & Height
Asymmetry will make space for creativity and personal expression! Play with scale, shape, and height with accessories and furniture. This will add visual interest and a sense of movement or flow to your space. Floor lamps at different heights can add visual depth too. Finding ways to incorporate various patterns in your space will make things comfortable and captivating. Consider grouping a minimum of three objects and a group of five objects on the opposite end of a mantle. Pairing tall and small objects together will also hold engagement. Platforms of various heights for grouped pieces and variation will embrace the beauty of asymmetrical design!
Colors & Layers
The 60-30-10 rule for color is when 60 percent of your room is a dominant color, 30 percent is a secondary color, and 10 percent is an accent color. This is a simple yet effective way to achieve visual balance when accessorizing with your room's color scheme. This rule of thumb will maintain the perfect balance of tones in your home!
Another way to keep things interesting is through layers! Layering different-sized and shaped pieces with various textures will hold visual interest. Organic shapes like seashells can pair well with wood and glass elements, while antique pottery and woven baskets can look great atop wooden shelving in the kitchen. Mix and layer patterns with a specific color scheme to create a space that adds depth and interest!
An Elevated Space
There is no doubt that you will fall in love with a space designed with intention and functionality! May you celebrate your aesthetic with an interior that celebrates purpose, personalized accessories, depth, and most importantly you! 🌻
