Renovating blog

I’ve seen in a couple of home decorating magazines that mention the importance of accessorizing your home, which is something we definitely don’t do enough of. I would love to have some pretty scatter cushions on the couch and beds to add some colour and life. And even the odd vase of flowers adds so much warmth to a room.

We’ve discovered that art work alone doesn’t give you the finished look that accessories can give you. The problem is that we have to have cat friendly things that can’t get shredded or covered in fur so it certainly does make it a bit harder to make your home look nice.

My parents have a room in the house that looks fantastic but definitely needs some colour thrown into it. It is a soft cream colour with a stunning ivory coloured couch which is so comfy. They have a feature chair that has a real Victorian feel to it and a few extravagant pieces of art work that just pull the room together. The one thing I hate about my parents taste is mum manages to throw in one tacky item to every room of the house. She is absolutely obsessed with dragons.
