Fabrics, furnishing and art should look light-weight and have smooth or slightly textured finishes. Accessories like lamps, pictures frames, and ashtray and candle-stick holders can be smooth or textured and should be small in size. Avoid dull, tarnished metals. Just as you look better wearing a light color with a bright color or a dark color with a light color, select upholstery with the same combinations, if you have a large room and feel that small or medium sized accessories aren’t adequate, use one large.

Fabrics with medium to large scale design are best, but if you fall in love with small scale design, select one that has a strong interplay of light and dark colors tones. Just as you would wear large size accessories to balances strong contrasted and large patterns, use the same principle when adding room accents like lamps, vases and plants. Keep accents bright shiny. If you have a collection of small hangings or knick-knacks, create mass by grouping them together. You can use any weight fabric, and look great with dynamic, graphic art. If you prefer water colors, surround them with pastels that are clear and bright.
