Ask a Designer :? How do I Customize My Home Best Effect - The final layer of the design of a house is accessorising it. This is the part where you get to add these really personal touches. It is also an opportunity to shop for small items, giving you these immediate high when you find things that you like and can put them in your system right away. Be aware, though - accessorising is an art and it is easy to over-ice the cake. Here are some successful examples of accessorising, where less is more and every detail is taken into account.

Let the real you shine through
If there is a tip that I can give on accessorising it is that you need to do it with confidence. These are the things in your home that reflect your identity and allow you to be a little weird. The flower arrangement this dining table is there for. Among the elegant neutral tones are these little bursts of color, suggesting someone who likes to dip their feet in color pond, but do not like to get wet! I like this subtle nudge into something artificial.

Select a star piece
Sometimes in a pattern, you really just want a big guy in the room that has the oom pah pah, and for me it is this beautiful wall hanging. These muted tones are just dreamy, so much in fact that I hardly noticed anything else in the room. If you found a really special song and do justice and give him the space to shine.

you have words with your decor
there is such enthusiasm for typography at the moment, but you rarely see really well. This, however, seems fabulous, and when there is a twist of humor in there, all the better. Do not be afraid to go big sometimes - this little legend in an oversized frame has a huge impact.

dare to be dramatic
It's amazing what you can do on the walls today, without the real thing, and mosaic luster just jumps out of this regime and creates real drama. Reflections on the water are so elegant and peaceful. It is an example of how a bold choice can have a much greater impact than several small accessories.

Double Up for drama
accessorising can really pack a punch when you double things, and for smaller pieces much like odd numbers, too. I love these 1960 Italian twin mirrors, personalized with medicine cabinets on the back so all the other pieces can be hidden, which work brilliantly - and improved -. The fabulous recovered basins

Believe it or not, this relaxed display is incredibly well thought out. The owners have achieved the perfect balance color, tone, equipment and imaging. Blue and white porcelain collected together seems wonderful, but other objects break and put space around the beautiful pieces, while art objects give a pleasant roaming journey through memories and adventures.

Use mirrors wisely
the mirrors can be used in so many ways and finishes. This old mirror in the alcove brings a new depth to the room and I like to smoke edges. It works great with the silver leaf mirror on the mantle and darker lines on the coffee table mirror. The balance is just right and the thinking works beautifully. You must think about what the mirror reflects when you hang in position - there are certain things you just do not want to see twice, or from a certain angle

bathrooms can be so clinical, so give yours a little glamor by showing your best smellies. A handful of fine quality products and scented candles add a touch of decadence to a plan, even if you do not use! Just have them, it gives the bathroom a spa key.

I like seeing unusual sculptures and other objects in the gardens and terraces - it just adds a little personality, which can sometimes be lost when you leave the house. The garden should reflect your inside as well as style. I love these two statues overlooking the dining table, keeping an eye on everyone. They are all it takes to lift this outdoor space uncommon.

set the mood
I am always amazed how little accessories can set the mood. These three faces on the mantel give such a bold ethnic ambience at this billiard room and bring a lot of character to the space. It is a good way to integrate patches trips abroad, too.
