Decorating with accessories can be quite a challenge.

Too many knick-knacks and you have a cluttered tabletop.

Too little and you teeter on the edge of Spartan-like minimalism.

Luckily, for you, you have me in your soon-to-be-perfectly-accessorized corner, girlfriend.

I recorded this quick video to share a great lesson accessorization, straight from the Bungalow 5 Showroom at the New York Now Show.

Here’s what usually happens… When you accessorize your lamp, what a lot of folks do, that doesn’t work well is that, you do a lamp and a whatchamacallit.  

Watch the video to see exactly what I mean.

It can work but there is ALL this dead space here.

The smart accessorizing solution?

Break out a 4 -inch or 5-inch tall piece under the lamp. You can do a nice-looking picture frame. Bungalow 5 had these great looking pieces of tabletop sculptures, you could do something like that too.  

Again, watch the video to see how we get the area filled with a nice grouping.

It is a bit more interesting, and it doesn’t leave negative space there.
