Use Whimsical Accessories To Add a Fun Personality To a Room

By Charlotee Holder

Interior decorators cannot stress enough how accessories enhance the visual appeal of the decor of a room. If you love vibrant colors, enjoy unusual artwork, and want to add a sense of humor to your room, consider using whimsical accessories to add a personal touch and a fun personality to a room. Incorporating a few whimsical accessories to a room can simply make a room more fun.

When planning to decorate a child's room, you first need to decide on a theme. As part of this theme, you need to consider colors, characters or objects familiar or appealing to a child that you plan to focus your theme on as well as furniture and accessories to complete the overall visual appeal of the room. All of these elements in addition to the child that the design is for need to be carefully considered in the planning phase of your design.

Should you find it difficult to determine a theme for your child's room, ask your child to help you decide if they are old enough to express their ideas. Children love to help and will especially enjoy having a say in their rooms theme and design. This will also help to ensure that your child will enjoy the newly decorated room before you spend an excessive amount of money.

By simply adding ribbons or small embellishments such as buttons, ribbons, polka dots, unusual letters, rhinestones, or colorful paint, you can transform an ordinary frame into a fun whimsical accessory.
