Decorating & Design Tips

Accessorize for Style

Use unique accessories of varying shapes, colors, and sizes to create interesting snapshots of composition in your home. On the kitchen fireplace mantel in a client’s Minnesota farmhouse, a collection of vintage portraits balances nicely with pieces I found throughout their home. Something as ordinary as fresh fruit and cuttings from your garden become elevated when you combine them artfully with other items of personal meaning. For maximum effect, keep it personal, unfussy and fun—what I like to call “eclectic chic.”
