Sometimes the client wants a certain “look” that dictates the types of accessories.  In this den, the client wanted an old English library look.  Brass chandeliers and lamps, tiny lion heads for the hold-backs on the draperies, an iron griffon, tapestry pillows, chenille throw, lots of candles for atmosphere, and of course books help to complete this look. Without the accessories, the room would have been dull and lifeless. -  Alexander Interiors, Northern Virginia
