What\u2019s A D\u00e9cor? <\/strong><\/p>\n

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. D\u00e9cor 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 <\/em>of that room.<\/p>\n

Since this is so, d\u00e9cor, thus, plays a huge role in making a design work (or not). These small pieces keep the space from looking too functional<\/em>, 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.<\/p>\n

D\u00e9cor or d\u00e9cor 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.<\/p>\n

As you\u2019re thinking on to add d\u00e9cor pieces to your own home, just keep in mind this one important rule \u2013 every piece must be eye-catching and should be connected with the rest of the design elements.<\/p>\n

With that said, here are the tips that can level up your home\u2019s style \u2013<\/p>\n

Experiment, Mix, Match, Heterogenize<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n

So what are your options for adding visual interest? First, remember to be free yourself<\/em>. Do not limit your perspective to what\u2019s obvious. In choosing textiles, don\u2019t just go for the usual area rugs. Go an extra mile by adding colorful throw pillows and blankets where needed.<\/p>\n

Feature your memorabilia, collections, and your figurines. Fill an accent wall with artwork or lovely tapestries. Don\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

Instead of just matching items, try to mix different style. Be heterogeneous in terms of stylizing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s All About the Placement <\/strong><\/p>\n

Buying the d\u00e9cor 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.<\/p>\n

Here, you need to have a sense of proportion. This is an artist\u2019s innate gut feel<\/em> for certain designs. This is also you trying to learn how design elements should blend.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Second Fiddle No More <\/strong><\/p>\n

Too many times, the d\u00e9cor pieces take the backseat when it comes to planning. Don\u2019t 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 d\u00e9cor pieces that you will use.<\/p>\n

Remember, d\u00e9cor pieces have the power to make or break your home\u2019s theme.<\/p>\n
