No matter your age, you are sure to have a collection of items. Sometimes it is hard to decide how to display your items in your home. Below are several tips to remember when accessorizing a room.

• Accessories can give a room character, but do not overdo it. A small space will look better with a minimal amount of small accessories.

• Do not spread accessories around evenly; instead group them to make a point. Groups of 3 or 5 work well.

• Hang a large painting flanked by smaller ones behind a sofa.

• Enhance a large picture by using a spot light. This will make a great focal point while creating ambiance.

• Using a framed mirror is a great alternative to artwork.

• Make sure that you do not hang your pictures or artwork too high. Your pictures should be hung so that the middle of the picture is at eye level.

• Keep side tables simple with a lamp and a small sculpture or decorative box.

• If you have an empty space, then add plants as a filler. Plants make a great filler and you can easily group them together using varying heights.

• Use family photos to accessorize your room by grouping them together.

• Choose accessories with color to liven up your room. You can pull the color from a piece of furniture that is in the room or decorative pillows.

Remember your accessories should always seem personal and they should tell a story. Display things that you love and that have great meaning.
