Ways to Accessorize Your Home
It’s all in the details. Details make a room feel complete and add personality. Texture, color, and pattern are lovely additions. Accessorizing doesn’t just include the items you adorn your shelves with but also includes rugs, pillows, drawer pulls, light switch covers, curtains, and light fixtures. These foundational accessories can change the ambiance of a room in an instant.

Knobs & Handles
Update furniture pieces, cabinets, and doors with minimal effort. Unique knobs and handles immediately contribute to enhancing character and are a very simple way to incorporate your own touch of style into your furniture.
This dresser was embellished with a touch of vintage flair just by replacing the top two knobs. These knobs pictured are from Anthropologie. Here are some that have a very similar style.
Light Switch Plates
Light & outlet plates give walls a pop of style. Whether it be a touch of vintage, industrial appeal, or a burst of color, it’s these smaller details that are eye-catching and pull the look of a room together.
Curtains
Curtains do for the window what eyebrows do for the face. Frame it well. With countless fabrics, lengths, and colors to choose from, you can be sure that curtains will add personality to the room. Layer curtains to add privacy and create more depth with multiple textures.
The curtains pictured above add a touch of whimsy to balance out the industrial curtain rod spanning both windows, allowing the city lights to twinkle through. Curtain rings with clip allow for easy removal to wash and for smooth open and close.
Light Fixtures
Warm and subtle or bright and lively? Show stopper or streamlined? Some questions to ask yourself when considering light fixtures and bulbs. Since most rooms call for multiple light sources including ambient lighting, task lighting, and accent lighting, it provides so much potential to mix and match. Standing lamps, sconces, ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, and more! Light fixtures are a main mood-setting source for any room.
