Have you always wanted to make a statement with your home
decor? If you have your eye on an accent piece but fear it may be more "statement" than you can handle, don't be afraid to buy it. There's always a way to make even
the most eye-catching decor work in your home. So if you love it, go for it. At
John Elliott Interiors you're sure to find those statement pieces that help
make your home a polished place that reflects your style. We make decorating homes our business and understand the importance of stocking something for

pieces in your home.You can transform any room in your house with just a few great pieces, and John Elliott Interiors is here to help.
To create balance with accent pieces consider these tips and tricks
and you can have the picturesque home you've always envisioned.
Size
If acquiring a bold, eye-catching piece is just something
you're beginning to think of, try starting with something like end tables
in the living room or bedside tables in the bedroom. Accent furniture doesn't
have to be large in size or make a giant visual impact. You can start small!
Small additions can bring new life to drab rooms and can start the transition,
if you're not ready to make a big change. Of course, if you're ready for prominent alterations, go for it! A unique living room sofa or dining room
table may be a good place to start.
Style
Do you have a style or are you in the process of discovering it? A great way to go bold with an accent
piece, is to choose something that is completely different than your "go
to" style. If your home is traditional, consider a bohemian twist with a
unique rug or painted table. If your home is modern, bring something
intricate or antique into the mix to change the room's dynamic in a
positive way. There are lots of styles we could mention but by intermingling two
different styles, you're adding a personal touch to your space, further
defining your taste and design.
Color
It's easy to get in a rut with color. If you have an ivory
sofa, chances are the room boasts a lot of beige and neutral accents. You can
give that room a fresh look by adding a piece with color. You'll be
surprised what a huge difference a pop of color makes. Choose a color you've
always liked but have hesitated to incorporate. Be daring and step back and see
the difference. Remember, you don't have to stop at color, go further by mixing
color AND pattern into your decor theme. Texture
If color and pattern are something you've already done,
think about introducing accent pieces with texture. Rooms heavy with
upholstery and wood may need a touch of metallics. For rooms that feel more industrial, an overstuffed chair and
ottoman could create a balance of comfort and style. It may sound
contradictory, but incorporating accent pieces of a different genre will
highlight the primary pieces you already have and create an unexpected texture
that you'll love.
Placement
This may be one of the most important tips in the lot.
There's a place for accent furniture in every room, but you may want to
consider the overall look of the home before you start buying. You don't want
to disrupt the existing harmony of your decor, so take a visual inventory and
focus on the house as a whole versus one room at a time. This may be the time
