the best decor is usually all in the small details. the corners of your home are just as, if not more important, than the big picture. a lot of readers ask me how to display collections without looking too cluttered. i tend to think collections look best when grouped together with other ‘like objects’ – for example, all your white pottery together, framed family photos, even your kitschy ceramics – place them in one simple grouping, and voilá, instant stylish simplicity. in fact, i love just simple adornments here and there — standing out all on their very own. here’s a look at what i mean via flickr groups, adornable and sfgirlbybay.
