This dining room has the same shell inspired style as the accessories above. The classic French style is so Chanel. The gorgeous chandelier†is an inspired design.

Depending on the size and location of your wall art, you may be able to use wall sconces to highlight the piece. Upward pointing or downward pointing wall sconces can both work well for highlight wall art.

Dual Purpose Light Fixtures That being said, you should keep in mind that you don’t have to have light fixtures for every different issue in your living room. You can use one light fixture for a number of needs. For example, track lights can be used to create both ambient light and accent lighting.

This floor mirror helps expand the sense of space in this small dining area and enhances the lovely hanging light fixture over the table.

If you want a bigger impact, paint the mirror a color that contrasts with other colors in your room.

The retro table lamp/floor lamp combo works in this space that is eclectic with a mid-Century Modern twist. Look for retro and vintage floor lamp at thrift stores and tag sales

Though typically interior designers recommend against investing in trends, mirrors are one trend that you can safely invest in without fear of it going out of style. However, as with any trend, there are certain guidelines you should adhere to. For example, avoid trendy finishes on the mirror, such as etching or embedded trim, as these can date the mirror and look them out of style. Remember, however, that your frames can easily be swapped out as your style of home decor changes and you can find frames in traditional, contemporary or modern styles.

When it comes to the holiday season, seasonal home accessories swap in and out of home decor faster than you can bat your eyes. This can make it difficult to stay on target, especially when one week you’re seeing Halloween and the next week that same store is full of Christmas decor.

Natural Pumpkins Natural pumpkins refers to pumpkin shapes that have been created using woven vines, grasses or other natural materials. It does not refer to actual pumpkins (though those never go out of style, either). Keep in mind that since this is a trendy item currently, it can be relatively expensive. Small woven pumpkins can cost you up to you $20 and larger pumpkins can break into the $100 or more range.
