Style Starboard: Designer Tips How to accessorize

Choose objects and art that you love, put it together in a way that enhances your room.

 1.  Don't accessorize just because you have space to fill. The goal is to display things you love in an artful way. One of the keys to great accessorizing is starting with accessories that have some relevance, are useful, or that you treasure. Create Groupings, gather similar items together for maximum impact or to show a collection. Vary height and size of objects. Use books, plants, bowls, small sculptural elements. If you add things to a room just to fill up the space, it will look like clutter instead of accessorizing or displaying your collections.

How to guide: Go Glamping

Glamping

Glamour + Camping = Glamping 
Shorthand for glamorous camping. Satisfying your craving for the outdoors and your penchant for a good meal, nice glass of wine, and a comfortable bed.

How to make your own little oasis at the campground. Making your camping and family trips stylish and comfortable. 

If the idea of falling asleep under the stars and roasting marshmallows around a campfire appeals to you, but the reality of pitching a tent and sleeping on hard, bumpy ground does not, glamping could be your ideal vacation. No icky spiders, chili mac, or peeing in the woods for the glamping crowd. Think Jeeves toasting your Trader Joe's marshmallow to perfection as you relax with a chilled Chardonnay in your portable hot tub, roughing it by the ocean. Forget the beach house clam bakes, go ahead and trade in your time share for a tent, camper or airstream. Guaranteed to be a getaway you won't soon forget.
