Art and accessories to dress up your home
Art and accessories are similar to jewelry; they put a finishing touch on your home and say a lot about your style! With such a wealth of options, there’s really no end to expressing yourself through artwork, home accents, mementos, and photographs. Even better, accents are often easily switched out to allow you to change up the look of your home as seasons change and holidays come and go.
How can I choose the right art and accessories for my home?
Taste in art is so personal and subjective. However, odds are that your overall tastes will influence both your design style and choice in artwork. For example, if you lean towards modern furnishings, bold colors, and clean lines, you’ll likely gravitate towards these elements in the art you choose for your space. Trust your gut when artwork speaks to you, whether it’s paintings, sculpture, folk art, or wall hangings.
Natural Curiosities – Rococo Navy & Silver
Throw pillows are one of the easiest way to refresh rooms, whether you want to change up common areas like living and family rooms or create a different mood in your bedroom. They’re a fun option for bringing color or texture into otherwise neutral spaces. Bold patterns and bright hues lend a vibrant energy, while cozy fabrics and soft shades create a soothing ambiance. You can swap according to seasons or moods, and you’ll love the instant mini-transformation!

Photographs and mementos are tangible reminders of people and places that you love, so we love layering them into your home design! One of our best travel tips is to seek out local artwork and artisans. This lets you bring a physical piece of your adventures home. Photos can bring to mind a milestone or candid moments in time that you captured with family and friends. Quirky bookends, a family heirloom vase, or the collection of art books that you’ve been accumulating since college…these are all things that are uniquely “you.” They tell your story, and so there is no other home that will be quite like yours!
