Accessories
When redesigning any space, no matter how large or small, there is one element that should never ever be overlooked, accessories.
Without accessories, your spaces, no matter how beautifully decorated or furnished, will be left looking and feeling incredibly unloved. Think of accessories as the icing on a cake, offering visual interest, and detail. If you source your accessories during the design process, your room/s will look complete.

Accessories make your spaces come alive as they add texture, colour, pattern and form.
They aren’t just eye candy – objects can be functional in their forms such as vases, books, and bowls.
Accessories pull your design scheme together.

Always budget for accessories when pulling together a design scheme. They should never be an afterthought. If you budget from the outset, you will ensure that you won’t end up spending all your hard earnt cash on furniture and decorating leaving a bland boring space.
Tell Your Own Story – Go through what you already own, and see what works with your new scheme. Adding memorabilia such as family heirlooms, photographs, and your interests shows who you are as a person. Having things you love around you will ensure you’ll enjoy your homes more. These personal touches are often great conversational points when you have visitors too.
Choose accessories that not only reflect your spaces but also your style and taste. By doing so, you’ll be making your home unique and individual to you.
