Know What You Have
Take an inventory of what you have. By really knowing  will help you start sorting through the accessories.

Avoid House Envy
Just because it looks good in someone else’s home doesn’t always mean it will look good in yours. Always plan ahead before buying something, and ask yourself whether you really need it and where it will go before buying it.

Stay True to Your Style
Your love for the latest trend or style isn’t always the best decision maker.
Consider what you want as  an overall look. Use images from magazines or the web of looks you like for guidance.

Place and Purge
A great system is to start with artwork first placing main pieces, then filling in what goes well with that piece in the room. I like to go in this order – walls, bookcases, mantles and tables. Place items you are not using in a separate room, so it won’t distract you from finishing the overall design.

Share Your Overabundance
Don’t hold on to items not used either donate or sell them to have a complete accessory clutter free home.
