Every interior designer on the planet knows that the sum of their design only becomes beautiful if each piece placed into its conceptualization plays its part well. Every element used in a room, whether the wall paint or the furniture, plays a crucial role in making the overall theme work. Even the smallest knickknack displayed conspicuously can also make a difference.
What’s A Décor?
More often than not, when you are asked to evaluate how a design element works in a room, you stop to consider its value in both aesthetics and function. Décor pieces, however, are only placed into a design to improve the aesthetic needs of a room. These are pieces that add to the stylistic value of that room.
Since this is so, décor, thus, plays a huge role in making a design work (or not). These small pieces keep the space from looking too functional, therefore, making the room appear three-dimensional. These are the very things that tie and balance all the other design elements to the declared theme.
Décor or décor pieces are often called accessories, trinkets, knickknacks, etc. They exist for the sole purpose of bringing a visually pleasing environment. Usually, these small items are bold and dramatic.
As you’re thinking on to add décor pieces to your own home, just keep in mind this one important rule – every piece must be eye-catching and should be connected with the rest of the design elements.
With that said, here are the tips that can level up your home’s style –
Experiment, Mix, Match, Heterogenize
So what are your options for adding visual interest? First, remember to be free yourself. Do not limit your perspective to what’s obvious. In choosing textiles, don’t just go for the usual area rugs. Go an extra mile by adding colorful throw pillows and blankets where needed.
Feature your memorabilia, collections, and your figurines. Fill an accent wall with artwork or lovely tapestries. Don’t forget to place the coffee table and fill it with flowers in vase or fruits in a bowl. Candles are great for creating a romantic and warm ambiance.
Instead of just matching items, try to mix different style. Be heterogeneous in terms of stylizing.
It’s All About the Placement
Buying the décor pieces is just the first step to creating a lovely home. You also have to consider how each piece should be displayed. On top of that, you need to find anchor pieces that will tie your decorative pieces to the design.
Here, you need to have a sense of proportion. This is an artist’s innate gut feel for certain designs. This is also you trying to learn how design elements should blend.
Always begin by gathering the textiles and wall art. You can then move on to the styled surfaces. Remember that coffee tables, buffet tops, and walls are all ready for your accessories. These are the natural homes of many decorative pieces.
As soon as you have all the accessories in place, never be afraid to edit your work. Just take a moment to step back and perceive the room as a whole unit. If you feel that something seems to be out of place, then, chances are, you are correct. Just make the necessary adjustments as you progress.
Second Fiddle No More
Too many times, the décor pieces take the backseat when it comes to planning. Don’t brush them aside anymore. These are not optional pieces that you can just add as an extra step once everything is done. Just like the major furnishings in the room, you need to carefully think through the décor pieces that you will use.
Remember, décor pieces have the power to make or break your home’s theme.
