Arranging Room Accessories!
By Tammy Jo Schoppet

(RDD) Arranging your accessories and creating a beautiful display of collectibles is easy when you follow these simple ideas:

1. Use Odd Number Groupings -  one three or five, seven, nine... you get the idea. A great place to start is by reviewing and duplicating professionally inspired arrangements as in magazines such as Martha Stewart Living. Notice the details, the odd numbers, the sizes, shapes and colors.

2. Size Matters - There are two ways to display your collectibles. A symmetrical display means everything is the same size and color. This works best in modern, minimalist or elegant style decorating. Asymmetrical groupings work best in a more casual or contemporary situation varying sizes cause the eye to flows gracefully over each item.

3. Don't over accessorize - Enough is as good as a feast! To many items displayed can equal clutter. To get the most visual impact out of the items you want to display, choose sparingly and rotate different decorative pieces every few weeks to a month.
