Tips For Selecting Home Decor Accents

Sometimes it is easier to choose the larger pieces of furniture in the room and much harder to choose the smaller elements. If all the available decor items seem downright daunting, consider a few tips for decorating your space with small accessories and decorative accents.

• Arrange Items in Odd Numbers: When you're looking to create a vignette that is pleasing to the eye, arranging items in odd numbers is key. Group interesting items in three or five.
• Introduce Various Colors: Evaluate the overall color scheme of the room you're accessorizing and draw out a few core accent colors. Look for accessories that fit within that color palette and place them around the room to reinforce the design. Don't forget to look at any metallic finishes on your lighting fixtures or hardware and repeating those metallic tones with your home decor items.
• Mix-and-Match Textures: Color isn't the only thing that can call attention to your home decor accents. Mix-and-match pieces with different textures, as well. Select items with a sleek finish, a matte finish, or even raised details.
• Arrange Collections on a Tray: When you want things to look neat and intentional, consider arranging a small collection on a decorative tray. They can be placed on a kitchen island, the top of a dresser, or the center of a coffee table.
• Vary the Heights of Items: As you start to put different decor items next to one another, make sure to vary the height of pieces, with larger ones in the back of the arrangement and smaller ones in the front. You can use these various heights to help draw the eye to a desired focal point in the room, too.

As with any room design, the needs of the space should also factor into the decor items you select. Placing candle holders and taper candles in the center of a dining room table is a great way to add ambiance. Keeping a decorative candle in the living room or kitchen will help to get rid of any stale odors and bring an aromatic effect to the space. If you're lacking storage for remotes and unsightly items, stock up on lidded storage boxes. No matter what pieces you're looking for, you're sure to find them at Williams Sonoma.
