The re-decorating "itch" often strikes around here. Rather than constantly buying pretty new things, I first try to shuffle things around to freshen up a room. And each time I re-arrange, there are two common decorative elements that I tend to rely on when "accessorizing". They work well with any design aesthetic, so I thought I'd share...
NATURAL WOVEN MATERIALS
Decorative accent pieces that are made of natural woven materials are something that I am especially drawn to. Baskets, trays, bowls, stools, you name it... if it's woven, I'll incorporate it into a space. Natural woven accessories add warmth and texture, which works with any design style. They can also be a "neutralizing" element in highly eclectic, color-rich rooms.
Useful Tip: From time to time, run the vacuum hose attachment to "clean" your woven accessories. This helps prevent any microscopic dust particles from collecting!
PLANTS
I may not have a green thumb at all, but indoor plants are an absolute must in our home! They literally add life to any space. They are also great for indoor air quality. Since I don't have a super successful track record with plants, I try to stick with varieties that require minimal care (like snake plants).
Design Tip: Get unique with the type of plants you use indoors. For instance, when prepping for our kitchen reveal, I used edible plants (i.e. various herbs) as "accessories". It was pretty and practical. Aloe or succulents are also good options, especially if you are plant-challenged in the maintenance department like myself!
Do you have any "go to" accessories that you like to use when decorating?!
