What Are Your Favorite Accessories To Decorate With?

February 22, 2021 By Karen No Comments

What are your favorite accessories to decorate with?

What accessories do you decorate with? Do you have a favorite go to accessory ?

We have lived in the same house for over thirty years without doing major renovations during that time.

Life got in the way! Working, kids, college, kids getting married, and a beautiful grandchild.

There you have it… thirty years in the nutshell!

Even though our house wasn’t up to date, I tried to keep up with the current decorating trends.

Our out-of-date house was always home, it was comfortable, cozy, and we were happy.

But… as you can imagine, as cozy as it was, we were way over-do for an update.

So recently, the renovation came and went, and we were thrilled with the results! That will be for another time…

After The Renovation

After the renovation, I wasn’t sure how I was going to style the rooms. The house felt different, so I kept the decor neutral until I knew what I wanted.

It didn’t take long until the neutral accessories started tugging at me visually. I felt it was time to add a little color by changing the pillows.

The living room needed a change the most, and just by changing the pillows, it changed the feel of a room.

When I looked at the artwork, the greens and browns were prominent colors in the room.

I had green chicken coups on one wall…that too is for another time.

This quartz lamp is a favorite of mine…with the brown and beige tones.

This lamp is another favorite. It came from a trip to Italy, a small island off the coast of Venice called Murano.

floral arrangement

I considered the floral arrangement, but I was ready to change it if I needed to.

The goal was to use what I had. Over the years, I have collected a wide range of pillow covers and rugs. They are definitely, my go-to decorative accessory.

The throw is a gift from a good friend, which she brought back from a trip to Ireland. It is warm and cozy!

Couch with pillows

The pillows are from Pottery Barn a few years ago.

To me, adding color with accessories makes a room feel cozy.

Adding accessories to the pieces you love and the pieces that have been collected over time makes a room feel lived in and put together.
