1
Remember that accessories in an uncluttered, minimalist interior will tend to be of spare design.
-
2
Dress the window with a basic venetian blind, shade (pleated, Roman or roller type), tab-top curtain or grommet-topped curtain. Curtain rods will be simple.
-
3
Keep the floor coverings simple - solid-color area rugs such as sisal or chenille over a hard-surface floor, or a plain wall-to-wall carpet.
-
4
Leave the tabletops bare or nearly so. Ideal accessories would be an art-glass vase containing a single flower, a platter displaying a few similar pieces of fruit, or a pillar candle on a saucer-type holder.
-
5
Use plain toss pillows (or none) on the sofa and bed.
-
6
Outfit the bed with a simple spread. Skip the dust ruffle, pillow shams and canopy.
-
7
Hang pictures that are both simple in composition and simply framed. Use bigger pictures, but fewer, to accessorize the room.
-
8
Select wall coverings that are serene and subtle, in pale neutrals such as gray, beige and cream.
