PILLOWS AND THROWS

When creating a cozy and inviting room, pillows, and throws can make a big difference. “Cushions can add a splash of color, texture, and pattern to any room and are simple to switch out for seasonal colors and designs,” IDG Interior Designer Andrea Keuler says. Throws and blankets can also be a great way to add warmth and texture to your space.

LIGHTING

Create a space that radiates energy and ambiance with strategically placed lighting! Expertly placed lighting is the key to bringing a room to life, creating depth and height, cozy spots, and drawing attention to your most impressive areas. It’s all about balancing the light and shade to create your desired mood. You can transform your interior design project into a masterpiece with the right combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting.

GREENERY

Nowadays, the use of plants in modern interior design is becoming increasingly popular, and for a good reason. Not only do they create a beautiful and inviting atmosphere, but they also offer numerous benefits to your overall health and well-being. Plants can add a touch of color to an area, soften hard edges, or even set a specific mood. In addition, studies have shown that having plants inside the home can help to boost your mood, reduce stress, and improve air quality.

ART

Art is an integral part of interior design and should not be overlooked. For many, art is seen as a luxury, but depending on the circumstances and the pieces selected, art can be a significant investment. Without art, walls can feel empty and uninviting. Artwork, whether large or small or as part of a gallery wall, adds depth and richness to a room and makes it more welcoming and personal. The right pieces can create a unique look and feel and become any space’s focal point.

HOME FRAGRANCE

Fragrance can transport us to different places and times, evoking memories and creating unique atmospheres in any room. From a calming atmosphere in the bedroom to a focused energy in the office and a delicious aroma in the kitchen, fragrance can play an essential part in making your home feel like a home. Interior designers understand the strong influence that scent has on the mood and ambiance of interior spaces – just as carefully considered as paint color, lighting, and furniture placement – making fragrance an integral part of their design plan.

The art of accessorizing your home with pillows, throws, lighting, books, plants, art, and home fragrances can be transformative. Not only can these elements add a personal touch of comfort and style to your home, but they can also create a cozy atmosphere, an accent of color or texture, or make a bold statement. So, to take your interior space to the next level, consider accessorizing with these items and see what a difference it can make.
