Introduction

• Whatever style, colours or furnishings you choose
  for your home, the things that make it really
  individual and truly yours are the home
  accessories. Picking the accessories that will
  both complement your décor and reflect your
  personality is an exciting final stage in any
  refurbishment project.
• In order to get the best result, ideally you need
  to allocate part of the project budget for
  accessories but you may find that you already
  have favourite items which you can incorporate
  into your new interior. For example, perhaps you
  have a favourite picture which isnt currently
  displayed whose colours blend perfectly with the
  colour scheme of your newly designed room? An
  interior design company experienced in helping
  clients chooses home accessories Leicestershire
  will be able to make suggestions to help you get
  the most from your budget.

Different types of Home Accessories Décor

• In living areas, accessories will include
  artwork, lights, lamps, vases and cushions and
  the colours and styles you use can blend with, or
  act as a contrast to, your colour scheme. If your
  style is contemporary with plain walls and floor,
  look for lamps and vases both in toning shades
  and bright zingy colours. Pile a mix of plain
  coloured cushions topped with a few in eye
  catching patterns onto your sofas. Metallics are
  another key trend. So look for metallic hanging
  lights, floor lamps, and lamp bases, occasional
  tables with metal legs, plant holders, clocks and
  dramatic wall sculptures.
• For a retro scheme, source vintage lights, lamps
  and posters and look out for old school desks,
  small tables or individual chairs at antique
  fairs which can be renovated or recovered. If you
  enjoy upcycling, youll find plenty of ideas in
  magazines and on the internet for quirky uses of
  old furniture, containers, even pianos made into
  tables!

A Guide to Different Types of Home Decor Styles

• Its not just living areas that benefit from well
  chosen accessories. For bathrooms, buy the
  largest mirror you can afford or use one or more
  mirrored cabinets to increase storage. Natural
  materials can be introduced through wooden bath
  racks, towel rails and folding stools, while
  wicker baskets in a range of sizes keep clutter
  under control. In a period bathroom, antique
  glass dishes and shaving equipment make great
  accessories.
• In a kitchen, open baskets and plain or decorated
  tins work well for storage. If your kitchen has a
  plain, uncluttered colour palette, arrange
  matching white or glass vases or planters along
  the windowsill for single blooms or herbs. Use a
  Perspex or white trolley for additional storage
  alongside an island unit. Vintage and retro
  kitchen utensils and accessories are widely
  available and your designer should be able to
  suggest sources.
