Sometimes the top of our modern or old fashioned credenza stares back at us naked and empty like a blank canvas. How do you dress your inherited or store bought piece to set the mood or inspire elegance? Well, you could minimalist with a single vase on one side a book on the other and a large print on the wall behind.  Or you could try an eclectic look with a large vase of flowers, a few books and a large lamp. Then again you might want to show off one of your collections like globes in various sizes or seashells in different clear or colored glass jars. The stream-lined approach is also a great option with minimal items on the surface with the warm twist of a vintage mirror on the wall behind.  Transform your credenza into a jazzy bar with a tray holding various liquors and glasses on top and framed album covers on the wall behind. No matter what you choose to display you should be inspired by what has meaning for you.


And once you give your credenza proper accoutrements you will have made it truly your own. Whether you want to send it back to its Renaissance origins or bring to the forefront of modern style all it takes are a few items to create the look you are after.  Take a look around your house and be inspired to take your sideboard from naked to dressed to kill in a flash.  So once you find the perfect addition to your décor don’t forget to top it with fresh and fun style, after all accessories make a big difference in any room for a small investment.
