When accessorizing your home items look and feel better grouped in 3s—positioning items to create a triangle adds interest and provides a sense of balance for the viewer.
Varying height and color (or different values of the same color) can add interest as seen here:
On the other hand, be aware of how your color pops balance when adding accessories to a very parallel design–keep items similar in size or color (or both) to maintain a sense of balance.
Triangles of accessories can be layered atop one another as seen here:
Notice the triangle created on the hood shelf as well as the large triangle created by the accessories on the left and right countertop and on the hood shelf. Triangles can be layered or can lean to one side or the other to create varying vignettes.
Now some advice on what not to do:
Don’t accessorise with lots of various small items unless they are corralled making them feel like one piece (think of a perfume tray or basket of decorative balls)
Have fun accessorizing!
