Accessorizing Tips to Create Luxurious, Functional Spaces
Accessories have the power to completely transform a space into something beautiful, functional, and luxurious–but with great power comes great responsibility. Accessorizing can also cause a beautiful foundational home design to fall flat or feel cluttered and busy. Let’s explore some tips for accessorizing homes and businesses to create luxurious and functional spaces.
The Importance of Accessories
Accessories are the finishing touches that pull a room together. They are the items that make a space feel complete and add personality and character to a room. They can also serve a functional purpose, such as providing storage or serving as lighting sources.
Choose a Color Scheme
Choosing a color scheme is an essential part of accessorizing your home. It is important to select colors that work well together and complement your existing decor. You can use a color wheel to help you choose complementary colors or select a monochromatic scheme for a more streamlined look.
Mix Textures and Materials
Mixing textures and materials can add depth and interest to a room. For example, pairing a plush velvet sofa with a sleek metal coffee table can create a luxurious and modern look. It is also essential to consider the practicality of the materials you choose, especially if you have children or pets.
Add Layers with Rugs and Pillows
Adding rugs and pillows is an excellent way to add layers to a room. They provide a cozy and comfortable feel and can also add texture and color to a space. When selecting pillows and rugs, consider the size and shape of the room, as well as the colors and materials you have already selected.
Don't Forget About Lighting
Lighting is an essential aspect of accessorizing your home. It can set the mood and tone of a room and highlight specific areas. Consider using a combination of overhead lighting, table lamps, and floor lamps to create a layered and inviting space.
Incorporate Artwork and Decorative Objects
Artwork and decorative objects can add personality and character to a room. They can also serve as a focal point and tie a room together. When selecting artwork and decorative objects, consider the color scheme and overall style of the room.

Storage and Function
Functionality is at the core of any design project. Each accessory chosen should not only be aesthetically pleasing but also serve a purpose. Mirrors, for example, can be used to make a small space look larger while also providing a practical use. Similarly, a strategically placed lamp or pendant light can add drama to a room and provide needed task lighting. Not to mention the functionality of storage.
