Flair is one of those overworked and often misused words whose true meaning is sometimes hard to define.
The dictionary defines flair as a discriminating sense, a keen perception, an instinctive discernment, and
so it can be summed up as a combination of talent, taste and unerring instinct.
Home decorating is the individual and often unexpected touch that lifts a room out of conformity and gives
it a unique look all it's own. A color scheme, an arrangement of accessories, a grouping of paintings and
sculpture, collectors' items, use of mirrors, fabrics and wallpaper can all contribute that special touch
of flair to a room.
Mirror Magic
Make mirrors work for you in rooms that are too small, too dark, too confined. Or simply use them
decoratively to enhance a setting. Skillfully used, mirrors perform magic, space, light, focal and
decorative magic. Think of a mirror in many different ways and view it's visual effects from many angles.
Mirrors will expand walls outward, take ceilings upward, bring visual depth and the exciting dimension of
space to rooms which need a new point of perspective.
Wall mirrorsfunction in a way that will fool the eye
by distracting attention from structural defects. A mirror can be used to transform a plain table into a decorator's piece, give coordinated beauty
to a haphazard furniture grouping, or unity to problem areas in any room. Whenever possible, mirrors should reflect beauty, whether it's a natural or staged reflection.
Accessories...the Personal Touch
Accessories always add the right finishing touch to a room...in fact, it's the very personal touch that puts
your individual stamp on it. A collection of old snuff boxes, pieces of Early Americana, native handicraft, glass paperweights, in fact
any colorful or unusual accessories perk up a dull corner and add interest. They should be
arranged deftly, with symmetry and balance, and combined with other objects for true flair.
Use Books as Decorative Accessories
A library wall or a small set of bookshelves can become the decorative focal point in a room.
Handsome leather-bound books and vivid paper jackets bring a sea of color to a dull wall or dark corner.
Books can be used with a mixture of other objects, ceramics, sculpture, a painting or family photographs.
Arranged with flair they have a truly individual look into the interior decor of your home.
