From Everyday to Dressy With Accessories

Smart Design : Episode SDN-406 -- More Projects »
Accessories can add that extra "pop" to an outfit, so why not to your home? According to designer Sara Zorochin, it's the little things that can turn everyday rooms into great entertaining spaces:

  • Transform your home in a matter of moments by incorporating decorative elements such as pillows, vases, candles and even flatware and placemats on a table.

  • If you love the look of art in your home, leave an art book open on a table for an instant crowd pleaser. The best part is that you can change it as often as you like.

Candle lamps set a soft mood in almost any room. Many shades are removable so you can buy different styles and colors for various looks.
