Most home accents and furnishings can broken down into two main
categories - formal or informal. What you use as room accents and decor will
determine your theme, lighting will help you define these accessories.
Home Accents are usually
thought of as collectibles or the little things that you like to display on
shelves. Wall decor is usually made up of these types of home decor accents.
-
Glass flower vases go well in just about any room in your home. Used
mostly in the living room and kitchen to display flowers that add
seasonal color throughout your home.
- Wall hangings: do you simply
hang it, frame it or nail it
- Glass
art is a decorative accessory that you see displayed on coffee
tables and as a center piece on the dining room table. They can be vases
or glass bowls that you use to hold glass fruit or some other type of
small decoration. Today glass art is becoming more as an art form all to
its own. Some of these pieces are original works of art that are
displayed as formal home decor.
- Wall Mirrors
perhaps are the easiest home decor accents that people use to make a
small area appear larger. Seen mostly in bedrooms in the past and now in
the foyer as a decorative accent to make this area more inviting when
people first enter your home.
- African masks
are a truly unique home accent. Tribal masks come in many
themes from different parts of the world. The most popular are Mexican
masks, masks from Bali and of course the favorite of most people African
tribal masks.
- Contemporary
Art Work is a very personal item to buy for your home. Impressionist
and contemporary art work is an item that is bought solely on your own
personal tastes or personality because it is so open to interpretation.
- Small
Bronze Sculptures - the Styles and shapes are very subjective but still should reflect your life
style and other home accents. For instance if you are very in-tune with yoga
principals a stretched figurine reaching for the sky would compliment your
life style.
