Accessories in the Home
Accessories are not basic furnishings. They are important objects that make rooms comfortable and help express family interest. They include lamps, pictures, ash trays, book ends, clocks and art objects.
There are 4 Basic Guides in using accessories in the home. They are: use a few accessories, make a plan for the accessories, select accessories of good design and arrange the accessories attractively.
The mistake most often made in using accessories is placing too many small ones in a room. Many small articles add clutter and require too much dusting. Empty space add to the dignity and restfulness of a room. Don’t try to use all of your accessories at one time. Store some items, and change the ones you display occasionally.
Refore deciding which accessories to use, strip your room of everything except furniture. Group furniture for cconvenient use. Choose and place useful accessories first, such as lamps and ash trays. Add others cautiously as you would a pinch of salt to food.
Make the most of one truly beautiful accessory. Perhaps you can have something distinctive to interest people when they enter the room.
Plan to use only those accessories that serve their purpose, are appropriate for your furnishings and are well designed.
Select accessories for what they can do to improve the appearance of the room as a whole, as well as for the beauty of the individual object.
