Accessories are finishing touches that make your house a home. Just as purses, shoes, scarves and ties enhance look of an outfit home accessories take your room from ordinary to extraordinary.Accessories include flowers, baskets, bowls, books, candles, plants, pictures, mirrors, sculptures and vases. When choosing decorative items for a room, pick pieces that will match style and color of room. For example is room traditional, contemporary, country or decorated in an ethnic style. It is best to group accessories in odd numbers, such as ones, threes and fives, while also having a variation in height of objects. For example, an end table next to a sofa or chair can have a lamp for reading, a pot of flowers and a knick knack as a grouping. Pictures should be hung so that center of picture is at eye level, approximately 60 inches from floor. Artwork should be no more than 8 to 10 inches above back of a couch. Large artwork will act as a focal point; it can be hung over a couch, behind dining set, over a fireplace or on a feature wall. Small artwork can be grouped together using similar or matching frames and matting to make grouping more pleasing. Arrange grouping on floor first and hang after you are satisfied with look.
