Decorate with accessories
There are no rules for decorating with home accessories; whatever you like is allowed. In this blog, we would like to give you a few basic ideas for the home or office. Before you buy or collect accessories, it is advisable to think about their expression. Before you buy or collect accessories, it is advisable to think about their expression. A garish collection of frogs or owls in the home or office, or a collection of geese in the kitchen, may only reflect your current state of mind, but may astonish guests or customers. Is the frog expression looking for the prince? If, on the other hand, you sell natural products, are an animal lover or live sustainably, the frog sculpture can also be a great fit for you. Sculptures with an aggressive expression, such as leering fighting dogs, dragons or trolls, also look uninviting and may be more suited to a tattoo studio.
Colours in the room
Basically, you should orientate the decoration on the colour choice of the room or the company. Colour is an expression and a statement. Too much colour brings unrest into a room. Experts recommend a maximum of three colours and shades in a room. The decoration underlines the style of your home with similar colours and supports the corporate identity. Vases, cushions and pictures should be coordinated with the furniture and the colour concept. Glass, candles and mirrors, on the other hand, are usually neutral and match the existing interior.
The size of accessories
The size of accessories should also match the room; small accessories often look lost in large rooms. On the other hand, a few large accessories can also look very pretty in small rooms. The designers Charles & Ray Eames had a huge painted whale in their home, made of solid wood and over two metres long, whose design originated from North American folk art. The whale had a permanent place and was part of the photo shoot for the couple's famous lounge chair. In the pro office Shop you can get a small replica of the Eames House Whale made of ash wood.
The feel of accessories
In addition to the size of the decoration, the feel of accessories also plays a role. Wood is soft to the touch and visually provides warmth in the living room or office. Cushions and blankets are there to cuddle and make rooms cosy. Shiny metal adds a noble touch to the living room or office and reflects the available light.
The arrangement of accessories
In the theory of Feng Shui, it is also better to combine several beautiful figures with each other to emphasise and strengthen the community or togetherness. A set of accessories also creates a feeling of calm and harmony and gives a unified image. Other interesting possible combinations are completely different decorative items, but of the same shade or size. Pictures should be aligned, i.e. the picture frames should be hung at the same height next to or below each other. Alternatively, several pictures can be combined like a puzzle.
