Bringing Your Room Together with an Accent Table

You've done it – you finished re-designing your room and now you feel like that room still needs…."something". But what? Chances are good you can answer your dilemma by adding a simple accent piece. Accent pieces are used to pull a room together and give continuity to your room's design. An accent piece can be practically any item used to make your room "flow".

From a smartly placed chair next to a small table that holds a globe or a small cedar chest to a bench with some comfy pillows placed on it, the accent pieces are entirely up to you and whatever your imagination can come up with.

If your decor is in the French Country design, go for something in a linen or rust tone to really bring out the whole decor of your room. If shabby chic is what your room favors there are a number of items you can use to tie your entire design into a whole cozy feeling emanating from the room. Items like a small table finished in a distressed look to a rug in the shabby chic style that ties together one or more colors in your room.

There is a line when using accent pieces. Don't overdo it or you'll go from adding lovely accents that pull your entire interior design together to simply adding clutter.

Clocks are often overlooked accent pieces. A simple clock can make a guest's eyes flow from a painting hanging on the wall to an accent piece clock to another painting or perhaps a table with a sculpture on it.
