5 Quick Change Accessories...

These 5 Key Accessories will transform a room
...and the work anywhere!

    Just a few accessories can easily transition and impact different rooms in the house. By changing out five key accents, seasonal or permanent change is easy and budget-friendly.

    Neutral base furnishings allow for quick and easy color and accessory change, while keeping costs down. Simple, solid backgrounds enable infinite possibilities with color, style and feel of a space.

1.  ART
Start with the art whether new or existing.  This will give the inspiration for color and feel of the space.

2.  THROW PILLOWS
There is a definitive design power in pillows. Use as many or as few as you like, but don't leave them out.

3.  THROW OR AFGHAN
Besides being functional, they also provide an oppurtunity to reinforce the color store, add texture and are so inviting to look at and use.

4.  LIGHTING
If you want to enhance and repeat some color, add some lamps with colorful bases. With the affordability of many lamps, they're a great update and refreshing addition to any room.

5.  ACCENT ACCESSORIES
Smaller accessories always say "someone lives here." Things like trays, vessels or containers for books/magazines, art objects, something natural or alive like fruit or fresh flowers always warm a room.

And these same pieces can live comfortably in a living room, family room, guest room or den.
