Bringing A Room Together

By Jean Parker

Sometimes all a room needs to be finished is to add the perfect accent to pull everything together. Sometimes the great accent is a painting with all the perfect colors or a subject that brings out the theme of the room. Sometimes the perfect accent is a table or a rug, it doesn't matter what it is but it should be a focal point that ties the room together.

Getting the right look to a room can start with the dcor or it can start with the paint or the architectural details. A perfect built in bookshelf or mantle around the fire place can be the thing to build around. The accessories can accent the way the room is built, not just what you put in it. The wood work and brick and tile work in a room is the perfect thing to get started with for picking out a theme or focus.

Beautiful wood work is a time consuming and expensive and should be something that you showcase and use to the advantage of a room. Don't cover up the architectural details of your house; use them to your advantage to make the home stand out. Even though it seems like an easy thing to do, and in some instances it is, trim work like crown molding and chair railing can turn a room into something beautiful and functional and exciting. The strategic use of trim, not over using it, can make a room look stylish and adds a decorative and architectural detail that can make a big difference in the appearance and feel of a room.

It can be a difficult task to get your colors, theme and patterns to fit together in one room. The most time consuming part of redecorating is simple picking out the right color scheme for your room. Once you have the colors you desire you should than look to magazines, internet resources and even ask others who have recently decorated to find the perfect furnishings and accents to bring it all together.

Don't be afraid to experiment and put things together that are new and that you might not be sure about. The worse thing that can happen is that it doesn't work and you have to try something else. No big deal, but you will never know what works and what doesn't work without trying. - 33383
