When it comes to your home, your furniture does it all. It allows you to live comfortably, unwind after a hard day’s work and serve as a seat for your guests during parties and get-togethers. Furniture does not sleep, and it arguably plays the hardest working role in your house.

However, your fundamental furniture pieces (like your dining, living and bedroom sets) are just the beginning of making your house feel like a home. True expression of style and character is spoken for in the details: accessories, artwork, heirlooms and memorabilia.

Accents and accessory trends change with the seasons and fashion industry. With help from our talented design team we’ve come up with a short list of current “must haves” when it comes to the details of your home:

• Neutrals and naturals – Light, earth-toned art and accessories brighten up a space and compliment the laid-back atmosphere of Southwest Florida. Adding hints of texture throughout a neutral palette keeps simplicity interesting.
• Bold patterns – Make a design memorable with hints bold patterns. Small doses make it easy to update if you feel like swapping one pattern for another. Pillows and throws are the perfect statement pieces for patterns, and they are easy to update from season to season.
• Old and new – Accentuate your family heirlooms, antiques and vintage pieces by pairing with a new, modern piece.
• Distinct design – Design your home to reflect your lifestyle, travels, and interests through collections and unique objects acquired in your life and travels.

Small changes can make the biggest difference. Just like your wardrobe, your home’s interior does not need a complete design overhaul every season. Update your accessories and accents using one or all of the points above, and your home is sure to feel like new!
