Choose cool wall accent accessories when you need to liven
up a room on a tight budget. Here are some practical and economical design tips
to brighten your decor for less.
Dramatic Wall Mirrors to Accentuate the Light
A classic designer’s tip is to employ wall mirrors to make a
dark room seem much larger AND brighter. Choose an accent mirror large enough
to be a commanding presence in the room and with an interesting frame
design/shape, be it distressed white paint or a warm gold tone. Plus you get to
sneak a peek or two at the mirror to check your appearance, your guests none
the wiser.
Romantic Accent Candles in Sconces, in Unusual Places
Speaking of light, accent candles are a standard when it
comes to setting a sexy mood. Shake things up a bit with this old solution. Put
your accent wall sconces with candles in unusual spots that don’t normally get
a lot of love. For example, a forlorn stretch of wall where electric sconces
wouldn’t work. A few spots of subdued light in out-of-the-way places is
irresistible!
Striking Wall Art to Add Splashes of Color
Finally we come to wall art for inspiration and color in an
otherwise drab, spartan space. This accent art can be anything from huge prints
of classic midcentury cityscapes to copies of your favorite era in painting
from Renaissance Old Masters to Impressionism to the way-out styles of Pollack
and De Kooning. Maybe some Andy Warhol pop art parodying advertising is your
groove.
All the wall accents you desire to awaken your room are at
our Rancho Cordova, CA store and other American Furniture Galleries locations.
