Vignette Focus

Add personality and pizzazz to your interiors with a clever arrangement of travel trinkets, art, photos, and more

1. The pyramid rule Create depth and height by placing the tallest item like a vase or picture frame in the middle, then gradually scale it down with smaller and shorter items in front and to the sides.

2. Think in odd numbers Style your vignettes in groups of threes or fives rather than twos or fours for a stronger and more aesthetically-pleasing visual balance.

3. Mix textures a varying scheme of antique and modern, shiny and matte, metallic and wood, ceramic and glass elements can really elevate and liven up your display.
