Use Home Accessories To Change Your Home
There are many beautiful accessories available to dress one's home with nowadays. Clever homemakers keep their basic furnishings, floor-covering and paintwork in neutral colors and use home accessories to completely change the look without the expense and upheaval of decorating.
If one wants to have an ethnic look because it reminds one of one's roots, or simply because one likes the style there are several artifacts available. One of the easiest items to find and use is a throw. These can be found in top end shops, furnishing stores, market stalls and even charity shops. If one wants to feel good about one's choice, then perhaps a charity shop or a fair trade outlet is the best place to go. Choice is wide and prices reasonable. Choose a couple to liven up a tired suite or one to hang on the wall, to break up a blank space.
Another way to accessorize one's home is with pictures. These can be art prints (or originals if one has the cash), family photos, posters or simply an eclectic set of pictures one likes. Frame them, using the same type of frames to link them together, and display them in a tasteful arrangement of the wall, to maximize their impact. Of course if one does have an original make it a focal point with nothing nearby to detract from it.
Bright, funky cushions will add character to any room. If one has a colour theme running through one's accessories then try and match or contrast with that. Either buy new covers for the cushions, or makes one's one. Even if one has bought the covers, individualize them by dressing them with ribbons, patches, buttons or any other adornment to make them unique.
It is easy to overlook the value of mirrors in a room scheme. Sited cleverly they can brighten dingy corners and give the effect of having a much larger room. Hung opposite each other one gets the effect of infinity. This is stunning if a single, beautiful object is reflected and re-reflected. Mirrors come in many sizes and shapes, so don't forget to include them in room schemes.
Create a welcoming entrance by fitting new door furniture and accessorizing one's entrance lobby with smart units to take shoes and sneakers neatly and hide them away. Add a colorful pot plant and a neat coat-stand, and one's guests will feel instantly welcomed.
These are just a few ideas of how to make one's surroundings look totally different without spending too much. Not only will it look so different, one's beautiful home will be the envy of all one's friends - and totally unique to you.
