The first key to using accessories in your space is to look around your room and figure out what feels empty. The first place you'll probably look at is the walls. Determine what walls will need artwork, groupings of smaller pictures first, or wall art. You want to treat each wall area as a separate area and make sure the items you place on the walls are in proportion.

A large picture can give you instant drama in your space, you must want it to match the color scheme in the room, and it should be proportional and interesting.

Artwork needs to be expensive, if you cannot afford one large piece of artwork, get smaller pieces of framed artwork and place them together in the same space you would place a larger piece. create cohesion by making all the smaller pieces have something in common such as the same frame, or you can do the opposite but use different and unique frames.

Make it fun by using the frames to spell out something by placing a unique font of each letter in a different frame! The real key is to make sure that the art is in scale with the furnishings and in the same color palette way.

Now you will want to look at the tables in the room to accessorize, you don't want to clutter the surfaces with useless objects, so you need to make sure you use some lamps, books, bowls, flowers, vases, etc. treat each table as it's own area using items that are the right proportion to the table, use the space ideally while making sure you see enough of the tables, also you can use collections of small items on a table, preferably in a group of threes.

If you have a fireplace, you will not want to neglect that area, a fireplace is typically the focal point of the room and, therefore, the center of your decorating with accessories, you can place artwork over the fireplace, but if you have pictures on every other wall in the room, leave the artwork out over the fireplace (try a large mirror instead). Too much artwork can be monotonous.

There are two kinds of balance you want to utilize in accessorizing your fireplace- symmetrical and asymmetrical. For a formal setting, you usually would use the symmetrical layout of accessories.

To do this, use a mirror and flank it with two of the same items on either side, for a less formal room use an asymmetrical layout, you could still use a mirror, but place it on the side of the center line of the fireplace and balance the other side with two or three similar items on the other side of the center line.

For a splash of color and texture, you can also use a throw on a couch or chair, find new pillows for the seating, and don't be afraid to mix and match, just keep the color matching with your scheme.

The goal of accessorizing your room is to keep in mind the shape and size of the space they are filling. Think about the color scheme, material, and texture, so it blends and makes a cohesive and comfortable look throughout the space.
