Tips For Finding Meaningful Accessories

4 Simple Ways to Make Your Home Reflect You

Tip #1 - Buy things from your travels

You can find accessories in unexpected places like museums or even the convenience store. If you're visiting a museum, look for prints & artist coffee table books. Visit antique stores and look for pottery or other handmade items.

Tip #2 - Collect "free" items to decorate your home

It sounds simple, but I think that collecting something from the Earth can be really meaningful and “free” (ex. stones, rocks, seashells, pressed flowers, stems).

Tip #4 - Revisit things you've stored away

Sometimes it's easy to shy away from using things in our homes that don't quite fit the style or aesthetic (heirlooms, art created by relatives/kids, etc).

Instead of hiding these items in a closet, finding a way to incorporate them into your home creates a much more meaningful space.
