Easy Home Accents

Pinterest and home décor magazines are great ways to inspire your own decorating ideas, but if you go too far, you may spend too much time and money with not enough results. The good news is that you can achieve the look you want with less aggravation and for less money than you think. Before you go crazy buying everything in sight, consider your goals and take it slowly but surely.

Establishing the Problem (and Settling on a Solution)

What’s the problem with your space? Is it boring? Does it not have enough storage? Is too dark, too outdated or too uncomfortable? Once you know what problem you’re trying to solve, it’s easier to find a solution. Analyze your Pinterest page and magazine clippings for clues. Do you like the idea of one dominant color scheme, such as warm white tones? Is there a particular cabinet or furnishing that caught your eye? Do you need comfortable seating that modernizes and harmonizes the appearance of your space?

The answers to these questions should be your starting point. For example, imagine you have a large entryway that needs to welcome your guests with a little more pizzazz, but also helps your family stay organized. You’re tired of seeing coats, bags and shoes flung everywhere, and you’re especially frustrated at the drop zone the area beside your door has become. With the right home accent furniture, you can liven up the space and give yourself extra storage at the same time. That means no more soggy mittens or wet dog leashes scattered along the floor!

Harmonizing Your Space

The right accent furnishings should not only enhance the look of the space, but they should also complement the rest of your décor. For example, if you need a new accent chair, choose one that comes in upholstery that coordinates with the color scheme in your home. The idea is that you should be able to move your furnishings from one room to the next and still feel there is a well-coordinated, dominant look.

Hiring a Professional

Even the smallest, simplest projects have a way of taking on a life of their own. If you know what you like but you’re not sure where to start — or even if you have no idea what you like, but you just know you want a change — working with a professional is a great option. You don’t have to spend thousands on an independent designer, though. At Just Cabinets, Furniture & More, our team has interior design knowledge and can help you with projects of all sizes.
