Why the Right Accessories Matter More Than You Think
When people think about interior design, they tend to focus on furniture, paint colors, or major renovations. While these pieces are all important — it’s the finishing touches that make a home feel complete.
Finishing touches are not all created equal — making sure they are the right ones is key. Without the right touches, this can either elevate your home’s flow or completely disrupt it.
Why? Because proper accessories create balance, improve flow, add function, and contribute to the mood of each space.
Here are Four Essential Accessories Every Homeowner Should Consider:
1. Window Treatments
Adds privacy, softness, and style to your home. One of my favorite approaches is using valances and floor-to-ceiling drapes. There are many ways to style these types of window treatments including fabric, tie backs, decorative hardware and more. The options are endless!
2. Wall Art
Adds character, color & texture to your Interior Design. Blank walls often leave a space feeling incomplete, regardless of how beautiful the furniture may be. During an Interior Design Consultation, sitting down with clients and selecting art together is one of my favorite things about what I do. There are so many different styles, moods and personalities to each piece.
3. Styling Accessories
Think vases, botanical decor, custom pillows & throws, candles, sculptures (and much more). These bring personality and texture that energizes the respective room.
4. Area Rugs
Defines a space and anchors furniture. I often get asked what common interior design mistakes I see in people’s homes — and improperly sized rugs is one of them. They also add function and contrast to homes with lots of hardwood or tile flooring, as well as improved acoustics for helping separate open-concept living areas.
The Bottom Line with Home Accessories:
Great Interior Design isn’t about filling a home with a specific quantity of accessories. It’s about selecting quality pieces that speak to you and styling them with intention.
