l can help with selecting and styling your accessories to achieve the maximum impact, perhaps by creating a grouping with similar objects and colours. I’ve also used accessories to help define an area -introducing an ottoman or bench seating near the front door to define a foyer, or a sofa table and lamps to visually separate a living room from a dining room.

The best way to accomplish your design goals is by treating each phase of the decorating process equally – accessorising, just like the décor process itself, should follow some specific steps – it’s really about layering the space.

I like to incorporate a client’s own personal items – these are the elements that transform “a” space into “ your space”. Think family photos, momentous, even a place setting of Grandma’s fine china.

While objects may seem random or insignificant on their own, properly showcasing them can make their personality ‘pop’ and your space come alive.
