The Art of Accessorizing

I just uncovered a great blog post by interior designer Jennifer Reynolds. She lays out her five main considerations when accessorizing a space as well as revealing her favorite elements to add to a room. Her fab five were (and I quote):

• Fresh flowers (botanicals or edibles) – can also be a very high quality faux, read my lips….HIGH QUALITY:)
• Coffee table books as well as beautifully leather bound books or similar (I think I have a book fetish)
• Tall objects such as lamps, candle sticks or hurricanes
• Found objects like antiques, unique treasures or one-of-a-kinds
• Framed art and mirrors of all shapes, sizes and styles

Great list. Go back and read her post to see how she focuses on key elements like scale (Go big or go home!), quality (inexpensive should never look cheap), planning and budget basics.

Don't sully a perfectly beautiful space or incredibly made furniture by completing the room with under-scaled tchotchkes or poorly designed items. Take your time, pay closer attention and nail it with well-chosen items that enhance the space.
