Day 121: Accents With Personality!

What a great follow up to post 120; The Neutral Zone...Accents With Personality! Accents, accessories, tchotchkes, all of the above, can be what takes a room from meh, to memorable and marvelous. Whether it's a few colorful pillows, a set of standout lamps, or a stellar piece of artwork, inserting hints of color, patterns and pizazz into a room through accessories is a great way to enliven, and personalize, your Happy Home. Another perk? Since these are generally low-commitment, low(er) cost, pieces, they are easy to change with the mood, season, or company!

This grand living room's neutral palette is brought to life with just a few throw pillows. Not only do they pop, but notice how they bring out the subtle reds in the rug and warm up the stone fireplace.

Bold in blue! This living space is transformed with a bold choice in just a rug and throw pillow. Not feeling blue? With a simple rug and pillow switch, the space can be completely reimagined.
