Accessorizing is one of the best parts of modern decor! It adds texture and style to any room, but it can also give your home a more unified look. If you're not sure where to start, here are some tips on how to accessorize your home:
Consider your overall home's design style
To determine your home's overall design style, think about the colors and materials you use in your home. If you have a modern aesthetic, don't put in traditional pieces; vice versa if you have a traditional aesthetic. For example, if your walls are painted white with some light blue accents (a contemporary look), try not to include any dark wood furniture or accessories that would clash with those colors.
Incorporate pieces that have sentimental value
You can also incorporate pieces that have sentimental value. These are the items that mean something to you, whether it be because they were given to you by a friend, or because your grandmother always gave you her knick-knacks.
If there is anything in your home that has been around for generations, then this is an opportunity to bring back some of those memories! The same goes for presents—if someone has given you a gift and then left out any wayward stamps on their letter or check book cover (or maybe even tore off the tag), there’s no reason why these should not be incorporated into your interior decorating style!
Add pieces to experiment with Texture and Design
When you're looking for a way to add interest and texture to your home, consider the following:
Use different textures in one room. For example, you might have a wall with a patterned wallpaper and an adjacent wall that has no pattern at all. This can give the space more visual interest than if you had used just one texture throughout the space.
Don't go overboard with texture—you don't want it overwhelming or distracting from what's going on in the rest of your house! If possible, keep it within reason; maybe try adding something unusual (like feathers) only here and there throughout the room instead of going overboard with them everywhere!
Pick a few pieces that you wouldn't normally pick
There are a lot of different ways to accessorize your home, and you can take advantage of that by choosing pieces that might not seem like the most obvious choices. For example:
Try out a new style or color. If you're feeling adventurous, try something new! You might find yourself drawn more towards the color pink, or maybe even a pair of brown shoes will make you feel more comfortable than your usual black ones.
Get rid of some old items and add in some new ones. Maybe it's time for an update on your bedroom set? Or maybe there's an old dresser gathering dust in another room—why not get rid of it altogether? Once all those pieces have been tossed out into storage somewhere else (and maybe even given away), then you'll have space for new things!
Consider different materials—like wood vs metal vs fabric versus glass—for example. Materials play such an important role in how our homes look because they give us clues about who we are: our personalities and interests come through in everything from what kinds of fabrics we choose for our drapes over windowsills at home right down through every last detail about interior design including patterned wallpaper patterns used throughout rooms where people spend time together often times alone too; moreover just think back five years ago when everyone had white walls painted gray instead because they thought they looked better than boring old white colors would ever do without fail every single day without fail forever...
Don't forget to choose art and consider the emotions it could evoke
Art is an important part of any home. It can be used to evoke emotions, and it's often the first thing people notice when they walk into your home.
You may think that art is just something you like or don't like, but you should consider what kind of emotions it will evoke in your home. For example, if an artwork makes people feel calm and relaxed then that's a good thing! Or maybe someone else needs some comfort after visiting their loved one who has recently passed away? In this case, adding some bright colors would be ideal because they're known for making people feel uplifted and happy again—and what better way than by decorating with colorful flowers?
Use your decor to add texture to your space
When it comes to adding interest and texture, there are a lot of ways to go. You can use natural materials such as wood, leather, stone and fabric. For example, if you have an old wooden dresser that was passed down from your grandmother's house, consider turning it into a coffee table by painting it white!
If you're looking for something less permanent than paint but still want something interesting in your home (or office), try using man-made materials like plastic or metal instead of opting for the more traditional approach of using natural elements. The possibilities are endless!
