Every home owner wants to ensure that their home and garden looks fabulous! For this they ensure that their home and garden are well maintained and also use accent pieces to decorate the space. Themes The accent pieces chosen to highlight and decorate the home and garden should have the same theme as the general design of the home and garden. For instance, homes and gardens designed in contemporary styles should have accent pieces and décor that are stylized and contemporary. The furniture and furnishings used should also match the same theme. On the other hand a home designed to look like a rustic farm house or seaside cottage should utilize home and garden décor items that reflect this theme. Individual Rooms Apart from using home and garden décor items that reflect the general style and theme of the house and garden, individual rooms should have accent pieces that reflect the function of the room or provide a unified decorating theme. For instance, kitchens in a contemporary styled home can use chrome or steel stylized utensils as décor items while a seaside cottage styled living room can use bookends and other décor items made of driftwood or seashells. On the other hand, décor items for a bedroom should be more soothing and induce relaxation. Additionally, bedroom décor can be more whimsical and experimental, as they need to satisfy only personal tastes and are not meant for public viewing. Conversations Starters and Interests Depending on the general purpose of the room as well as the style of the home or garden décor items can also be used as conversation starters or to indicate the interests of the residents. For example, handcrafted, rustic, garden décor such as bird houses can be used to indicate a preference for recycling or a love of nature. They can also make excellent conversation starters or points of interest when guests are being entertained. Budgets While those who can afford it can opt for expensive décor items to give their home an individual and unique appearance, others can opt for handmade and artisan items that are less expensive to put together a special look that lends character to their home and garden. This can be done by blending a special theme with individual ideas and color schemes. One can also gradually enhance the appearance of a room or garden by deciding on the basic theme and keeping a look out for the ideal décor pieces that will complement it.
