STYLE YOUR HOME WITH FASHIONABLE HOME ACCESSORIES

Dressing up evokes images of people in beautiful clothes. So when an interior design tip such as “dress up your home” is given, it still follows. Dressing up for certain occasions works in the same way as styling spaces with different interior designs - you want to look your best and your home should be the same way. 

You start with a canvas and accessorize to achieve your desired look. Like in fashion, interior designs for the home are categorized in the following aesthetics: classic, traditional, modern, contemporary, boho, and glam. 

The goal for “dressing up” or “styling” a space is pretty much the same as its fashion counterpart. You accessorize your outfit because you want to express yourself and let your personality shine. In terms of the home, you add functional and decorative pieces that likewise mirror your personality and lifestyle. Interestingly, there are also home accents that take inspiration from or look like fashion accessories.
