Interior details – special attention
Looking at the work of professional designers, we are often surprised at their skill. Wondering how they manage to build the overall composition so organically and stylishly, we come to the conclusion that it is a matter of their talent, experience and design education. In fact, everything is much simpler – it’s all about the details..
Accessories are the magic wand of any designer. With the help of these seemingly insignificant objects, you can add brightness or a certain style to the interior, visually expand the room or divide it into zones, and even add originality to a boring room at first glance..

Instructions for use
In the works of professionals, one can often notice some ease: pillows scattered on the sofa, asymmetrically hung frames with photographs, chaotic souvenirs. How do they manage to so deftly fit all this into the interior and create a single picture? There are several basic rules that must be followed when decorating your home with interior accessories..

Style
Interior details are always interconnected with the overall style of the room. A picture in a pretentious frame will hardly look good on a brick “loft” wall, and a lava lamp will be out of place in a shabby chic interior. Therefore, having decided what kind of room you would like to see, look through magazines and Internet sites to understand what the decor should be in this case..

A well-known proverb warns us about how one small fly in the ointment can spoil a whole barrel of honey. This is exactly the case with accessories. No matter how harmonious and thoughtful your interior is, one awkward detail can completely change the overall impression of the house. The most often dangerous are souvenirs brought from vacation or donated by friends, because at the resort few people will think about combining a beautiful Moroccan vase with the minimalism of your living room. If you nevertheless become the happy owner of some wonderful little thing that does not go well with your interior, then hide it until better times. Perhaps this particular vase will later inspire you, and you will want to transform your apartment by choosing an oriental design for it..

Color palette
The beauty of accessories is that you can literally juggle with them, changing the interior of any room the way you want. A boring monochrome room can be revived with catchy curtains or flashy posters. Otherwise, calm, neutral interior details will help balance the overly colorful walls..
However, these little things are not always opposed to the general idea. If there is a bright dominant color in the room, then it makes sense to duplicate it in one or more details so that your decor does not look scattered.
A wonderful property of accessories is that at any time they can be replaced by updating the annoying interior without detriment to your wallet.

Simple geometry
The way objects are located in space plays a huge role. In small rooms, discard large decor items, and reduce small details to the required minimum so as not to clutter up the space. If you do not have a large area, then all the interior details should be as functional as possible: replace the figurines with spacious boxes, pictures with mirrors, numerous pillows with a beautiful blanket.
A great move is to choose a decorative center of the room and create an attention-grabbing composition there. It will distract your eyes from the rest of the room and allow you not to overload the room with other details..
Combine small items on any common basis. It can be color, material, or shape. Groups with a common style, consisting of objects of different sizes, look good. Such a cluster of pretty gizmos acquires a special charm and becomes an ideal decor element..
Ordinary glass bottles can be painted and flowers can be placed in them
You can put a vase with branches or flowers on the table in the living room.
Individual approach
Many people make the mistake of thoughtlessly transferring pictures from magazines to their interior. Remember that not always a beautiful photo will look as good if you embody this idea in your home. People are individual and they like different things. By repeating an interior filled with things unusual for you, you risk creating for yourself the feeling that you are in a hotel room..
Plants will be an excellent decoration option.
The dishes will very harmoniously complement the interior of the room.
Small buckets can be decorated and put cones in them
Don’t try to arrange things symmetrically. It looks unnatural and boring. Instead of two identical bedside tables with the same lights, keep only one, or choose different lights. Dilute bookshelves with randomly placed souvenirs, and choose frames for photos of different sizes. Move away from symmetry in favor of dynamic and living space.

Handmade
When choosing interior accessories, it is not at all necessary to spend huge sums on canvases of great masters, marble statues and Faberge boxes. The beauty of the interior often lies in simplicity, and the owner of the apartment himself can become a talented creator..
Even the simplest things can become a godsend in skillful hands. Familiar decoupage jars and bottles look no worse than ordinary vases, and handcrafted shelves often look better than purchased ones. They can be made from almost everything that comes to hand: boards, boxes, even skateboards or kitchen utensils..
It is worth showing a little imagination and the old shoe becomes an original flower pot, the ladle becomes a wall pot, and grandfather’s suitcase becomes a stylish bedside table..
