ACCESSORIES = PERSONALITY
Architect Mies Van der Rohe once said that God is in the Details, and in the world of interior design, those details lie in the accessories.
Most clients never get around to adding these essential items to finish their rooms and complete a space. After spending to purchase furnishings, window coverings and floor coverings, owners typically move on to another room and don’t feel the expense of art, table-scaping, plants, or mementos are worth their time, dollars or efforts. I disagree; accessories finish a room, adding personality, a sense of style, and the story of YOU!
Family photos leave a deeper impact when beautifully framed than quickly pulled up on your phone. Mementos selected while traveling evoke memories and inspiration. Family heirlooms create a sense of legacy and permanence.
I once had a client tell me she didn’t believe in accessories; until I added a few key pieces to her tabletops, counters, and shelves that is. While simple and elegant, the transformation left her speechless. Her response, "I didn’t think I liked accessories—because I didn’t know how to use them!"
