On a side table, a lamp, a framed photo and maybe a candle is usually sufficient, particularly if you need space for your book and glass.
Photographs of family and friends always add a very personal touch to a room and visitors just love looking at them, so be sure to have a group of them on a shelf or side table.
A desk need not be all practical and serious, you can add some decorative interest with elegant letter openers, pots for pens and paper weights. Please visit BTCbyDESIGN’s ‘Gifts & Accessories’.
On a dining table you can set the scene! Apart from elegant table mats it is eye catching and inexpensive to use a number of the same objects, for example, four candlesticks, two tazzas. See BTCbyDESIGN’s elegant and well-priced table ornaments – The Column Candlestick, The Tuscan Tazza and many more.
To create marvellous interior schemes with living room furniture and decorative accessories, why not look at some of the suggested settings created by the designers of BTCbyDESIGN, please visit our Home page and click, 'Designer Roomsets' and browse the following sets – The Town and Country – Hall, The Lure of Lacquer, Chateau Life – Hallway, Kitchen/Dining Room. All of these can be achieved without too much expense or effort.
Cushions on a sofa or chair are primarily for extra comfort but their colours and shapes add interest to your room. If you have found, say two special and intricate patterns, choose the rest of the cushions in plain colours to complement the stronger designs. A throw, in sophisticated colours and patterns, casually draped over the arm of sofa or chair can add to the feeling of luxury and warmth.
Decorating your house can be a lot of fun but, as always, the rule is, keep it simple and don’t overdo it, and you will have a home which is an illustration of you and your family and their interests – a place which is individual and very special.
