Your home is the place that is uniquely yours. Consequently, it reflects who you are. A lot can be learned about a person from the things they collect and show in their home. For example, a large collection of books indicates the owner perhaps spends much of his/her time reading. An abstract painting over an antique piece of furniture may indicate that the person is not formulaic - not everything in the room has to be of one style and match.
Accessories in the home are about living with the things we love - a uniquely personal adventure. What accessories do in a home is personalize and make your home your own, unlike any other. Those objects transcend themselves to become an individual's signature style, a personal atmosphere. Beautiful things well arranged soothes the soul for those living there and for those who visit - a sort of nourishment for the eyes.
Are there rules for displaying accessories and objects? Yes and no.
Basically, a large object requires its own space. Small objects require company, or groupings so as not to be lost and visually disappear. Also, color, shape, texture, proportion, scale, are all important in displaying objects.
Accessories are the "notes of admiration" in a room. It is amazing how a few little touches yield big results. Just a few objects can make a room go from boring to exciting. Think of accessories as the jewelry of a well-dressed room - added to grace and complement the whole.
