Styled Vignettes in Lieu of Clutters
There is nothing wrong with a collection but when it begins to mess up your home, it’s no longer trendy it’s a clutter. Vignettes make excellent, beautiful spaces and tidy the clutter. Even the humblest of homes look chic when things are thoughtfully positioned instead of coolly scattered. The perfect place for vignettes are bookshelves, coffee tables. mantels, and table tops.
A lamp is perfect for building a vignette around its base, it can illuminate the vignette when lit. Work with an odd number items start with three vignettes. Vary the height of the three objects, choose a tall, medium, and short items. Create depth by positioning the items outward from back to front. Vignettes need a background, a large mirror or a framed piece will work well.
Simplify your Style
Simple is beautiful. A cluttered living room can look muddled and untidy, rather than chic and classy. Trim down your collection and just maintain pieces with sentimental values. Create a sophisticated-looking area by putting less in it. A simplified space will allow the remaining elements to stand out and shine.
Start by grouping things in threes, they will look more attractive and more effective in shaping your room to look impressive. It is not limited to three but to all odd numbers, so if you want to add more items bump up the count to 5, 7, 9 or until you are satisfied.
Hang a Large-Scale Art for Impact
Create a centerpiece and give your living room some wow factor by hanging an oversize large-scale art on your living room wall. Large, geometric and floral patterns that span from the back of the sofa all the way to the ceiling will grab attention and hover over the room. It will project an appearance that will look stylish and high impact with no hassle. Keep your eyes peeled for large art pieces at flea fair, garage sale, thrift store, or street market at markdown prices.
