It is easy to
become focused on the larger elements of the room when you are decorating. While your bedding, seating and curtains are
all important aspects of the rooms overall aesthetic, it is truly the finer details
that bring a room together.

If your house is minimalist and contemporary, then you could go for a sleeker
chrome design, or if you like colourful décor, try a patterned design (yes,
they exist!)

Family Candles
A cute way of dressing up your mantle piece is to
place a candle with the initial of each family member on the jar, just like these ones.

You can
add odds and ends in between each, such as your favorite family photos in
ornate frames. Another idea is to actually spell out the family name with the
candles to create a more personal feel.

Words Upon A Wall
Painting (or in another manner of display) your
family mantra onto the wall is a great way to remind your household of the core
values you share as a unit.

values you share as a unit.
The entryway is a great location for this; placing
the quote either above the front door or above the stairs as your family will
be reminded of it every time they leave or enter the house.

Fresh Flowers
Flowers are a simple, affordable way of injecting a
pop of color and adding subtle fragrance to your home. The fake variety can work, but real always seem to look better.

House them in unusually shaped vases or
even mason jars to add an extra bit of interest to any room. You could also tie
some ribbon in a bow around the jar or vase as a finishing touch.

August 15, 2013Great tips! I started redoing our bedroom in January and I feel like it is missing some of these elements that would really polish it off. I have been searching for new knobs for our closet for a while now and definitely think those will make a difference once I find the right ones! Love the light switch idea, never thought of that:)

August 15, 2013Oh my goodness, those light switches! I'm now staring at my plain boring white ones with my "yucky" face on!
I try to incorporate some personal little touches like candles, and flowers, and pictures, but it just never looks right.
