When using decorative objects…
DO group them:
- in odd numbers such as 3s and 5s
- in varying heights
- in like types and colors
DON’T:
- Place objects in a straight line
- Place objects in the corner of the table
- Place objects so that they block the view of a seated guest
- Crowd the surface with too many objects
My favorite places to shop for great-looking but inexpensive decorative accessories:
- Target for lamps, bedding, bathroom items and throw pillows
- Pier One for throw pillows, candles, placemats, napkins and stemware
- Home Goods for decorative objects, lamps, bedding, throw pillows, bathroom items, kitchen items, glassware and artwork
- West Elm and CB2 for urban modern decorative objects and accessories
- Christmas Tree Shops (no, they just don’t sell Christmas items) for beach house accessories in summer
- Bed Bath and Beyond for its great selection of bathroom accessories
What are your favorite places to shop?
