The Power Of Accessorizing: How the Little Things Can Make a Big Difference

 Sometimes the seemingly smallest details can be what creates the biggest impact in your space. Accessorizing seems like it would be the finishing touch but it’s actually one of the most important elements needed to create a personalized & cohesive space. The more major elements like furniture, flooring & wall colors set the foundation, but thoughtfully selected accessories are what really bring a room to life and make it feel complete.

If you think about it, a room without accessories can feel cold, unfinished and impersonal, no matter how beautiful the larger elements look. Accessories allow you to tell a story about your interests, hobbies and life experiences all while infusing the space with your personal style. When you add thoughtful touches like artwork, plants, throw pillows and other decorative objects, the space is instantly transformed. For example, a bookshelf filled with treasured photographs, travel mementos and favorite books instantly makes a room feel more lived in and inviting. Textiles like patterned rugs and cozy throws add welcoming layers of texture and comfort, but even small elements such as a vase or candlesticks can help elevate the overall aesthetic.

There are a few guidelines to keep in mind while accessorizing. You should aim to create a curated, cohesive collection that you’ve thoughtfully put together. Avoid cluttering the space by remembering that usually less is more. The rule of thirds is important to keep in mind as the eye finds groupings of three visually appealing. Working in threes is also good for when you’re playing with scale, mixing large and small pieces. When you pay attention to the materials, colors, and the vibe you’re trying to achieve in a space, this can guide your accessory selections. The versatility of accessories makes them the easiest and cost-effective way to breathe new life into any spa. You can change them out seasonally, rearrange according to your mood or completely refresh a room by simply updating a few focal pieces.

So, next time you’re looking to make a room feel truly complete, don’t underestimate the power of a few thoughtfully placed accessories. With just a few carefully selected pieces you can completely transform the feeling of a space and truly make it feel like your own.
