Accent With Flowers

http://www.kwid.com

With the holiday season amongst us, chances are, buying flowers will be on your shopping list. Adding flowers to a space is a brilliant way to bring the outside in. In addition, flowers add temporary color to any room! (ABOVE) This setup is absolutely beautiful, but without the flowers it would not have the same impact. Here, the flowers break up the monochromatic table setup. (BELOW) The entry vestibule to Kelly Wearstler's LA office features a beautiful center flower arrangement on a fantastic table. Here, Kelly Wearstler used cherry blossoms. This table features many beautiful objects on it, such as a head and foot. If Kelly had used smaller flowers, likes the ones above, then the proportion of the flowers and the objects would be off. Placing cherry blossoms on a table, is a great way to add height. You can add as little or as much to your space as you want. Don't follow rules, just do.

Why You Should Accessorize

Accessorize! It’s the most important element when finishing a space. Lamps, textiles, rugs, pillows, flowers, and books are all crucial in pulling together any space. Keep your accessorizing powerful. Adding a large statue on a coffee table or vintage vase on a dining room table are all forms of accessorizing. Don’t add fake flowers! Fake flowers in a space are my biggest pet peeve. They smell after a while, collect much dust, and make a space feel cheep. Fresh flowers are always best. These minor elements in a space will give your room a designer feel. Even though I am a strong believer of breaking design rules and taking risks I also believe that you can go overboard when accessorizing.   Whether it is a painting or candle holder accessories should serve a meaning and purpose. Whether your adding accessories to add color or alter the proportion of a space each piece should be seen as an individual item, yet work as a group of pieces. Add enough accessories to make your home feel like you. Don’t follow rules, just do.
