Breaking Open the Art of Bookcase Accessories

Designing bookcase accessories can be a tricky art!

But we are here today to tell you the in's and out's of a bookcase and how to make it look magazine ready!

1. Turn books on their side:
One little tip we always practice is not only rotating books from upright to on their side, but also facing pages out instead of spine out to give a look of uniformity

2. Add "objects":
"Found" objects, small sculptures, or unique items help to break up books

3. Repeat similar elements:
The key to a bookcase is to not get it too busy. By repeating similar patterns and elements you create a rhythm and purpose to the shelves

4. Be Monochromatic in Color:

5. Love negative space:
Don't add TOO much. Embrace open and empty areas

Happy bookcase decorating!

2. Large Scale Art -
Instead of worrying about what to mount above the console, try resting large art on the console and leaning it on the wall behind

Many times a console can double as a mini bar. Find a tray you love and display your favorite spirits

Design Delivered - An Accessories Project

Have you ever had room that just wasn't "complete"? 

You have all the bones, but the walls are still empty, your windows are lonely and there isn't a spot of color in the place ....

Our Design Delivered packages can help even with that!

This wonderful long-time client has used our Design Delivered packages over the years through rooms of her home. This time she was ready to complete her dining room!

She already had her dining room furniture, but the rest of the canvas was empty. 


We coordinated with existing colors throughout her home to form this sea blue/green and soft yellow color scheme. With a few wall art pieces, mirrors and a new light fixture, the place quickly began looking like TCI had stepped in. We suggested drapery, table linens and accessories to finish it all off!

Keep us posted with your latest project, and just maybe we can transform your space as well!

STYLE THAT: Kitchen Edition

Each and every area of the home has a unique way of being styled that makes it just as important as the next.

We've discussed bookcases, nightstands and china cabinets ... today we tackle the arguably the most important statement in the home.
The Kitchen

1. Large Statement Vases in Color Scheme-
Choosing a pair of tall ceramic pieces within the color scheme will instantly spruce up an island or empty corner without cluttering

2. Less is Best- 
Instead of lining up the toaster, blender and kitchen aid mixer... neatly tuck them away in a cabinet and choose small groupings of glass cloches or vases to stack in corners of the kitchen cabinets to pop a color or texture or interest instead of a messy appliance.

3. Whispy Florals:
Bring some height to your room by adding a tall vase of faux whispy florals for a change of texture and medium

4. Food Items as Decor:
You guessed it! Speaking of a kitchen...use items such as lemons for a yellow color scheme, oranges, etc to add to a bowl will bring a natural element to the kitchen

Cook up some beautiful designs!
