Accessories for a minimalist environment are chosen selectively; there will be very few. Here are examples of good choices.
Things You Need Prepered: Art-glass Vases Curtain Rods Large Pictures Plain Picture Frames Plain Toss Pillow Plain Wall-to-wall Carpets Simple Bedspreads Simple Window Shades Solid Color Area Rugs Tab-top Curtains Venetian Blinds Platters
1.Remember that accessories in an uncluttered, minimalist interior will tend to be of spare design.
2.Dress the window with a basic venetian blind, shade (pleated, Roman or roller type), tab-top curtain or grommet-topped curtain. Curtain rods will be simple.
3.Keep the floor coverings simple - solid-color area rugs such as sisal or chenille over a hard-surface floor, or a plain wall-to-wall carpet.
4.Leave the tabletops bare or nearly so. Ideal accessories would be an art-glass vase containing a single flower, a platter displaying a few similar pieces of fruit, or a pillar candle on a saucer-type holder.
5.Use plain toss pillows (or none) on the sofa and bed.
6.Outfit the bed with a simple spread. Skip the dust ruffle, pillow shams and canopy.
7.Hang pictures that are both simple in composition and simply framed. Use bigger pictures, but fewer, to accessorize the room.
8.Select wall coverings that are serene and subtle, in pale neutrals such as gray, beige and cream.
