Fall is here, and if you're anything like me you're still trying to figure out how did the summer go by so fast. Transitioning your home decor, from one season to another, does not have to be a major expense; it just take a little bit of creativity for bringing the outdoors in! Below are 3 inexpensive ideas, that can be incorporate in your indoor living space, to give the appearance of summer months inside, while enjoying the leaves falling outdoors. Change your wall art Framed posters with images of summer gardens and landscapes are ideals and affordable. These should be easy to find in local art supply or home decor stores, or you can always find them on line in websites such as www.allposters.com Branches and Dry Flowers Replace your silk and natural floral arrangements with dry flowers and branches. Try using different household items, as containers, other than the traditional vases to showcase your creativity. Go Green Change your home accessories (ie: throw pillows, bedding, window treatment) to green color. Like there outdoors, there are many shades of green out there, so find the right shade to compliment your existing furnishing and decor. |

Rushing to the finish line is not always a good idea when decorating your home, especially if you do not have a plan. Yet this is exactly what many homeowners do when the interior of their home is affected by weather related circumstances. With the many recent weather related events, that have occurred throughout the country, the odds are in favor of it either affecting you our someone that you know. So the question is.... How would you weather the storm?  It is all in how you choose to view your situation.....either the glass is half full or the glass is half empty. This in no way is intended to diminish the seriousness of having your living space damaged by forces of nature, but it is to help those who are dealing with a bad situation, see the opportunity afforded to them. Often times when a home suffers damage from a storm, the homeowner rushes to restore the space back to it's original condition. Instead, by slowing down the pace, they may discover the grand opportunity to create the space of their dreams. Because these are stressful and emotional times, this is when working with a professional interior home decorator will be of tremendous value. They will be able to help you generate a plan that both you and your contractors can easily follow to ensure, that as repairs are made, they are being done in accordance to your interior design goals. |

Dressing the windows is something that is often overlooked by homeowners when decorating their home. Yet, window dressing is one of the key elements to a successful design plan. Your windows should be viewed as "wall art", another opportunity to showcase your personality. Because there are so many styles of window treatment out in the market, it can become an overwhelming experience trying to select the correct treatment for your windows. Start as any artist would....with a blank canvas; trust me, this will make the decision process easier. Start by deciding if you are want to showcase or hide your window. Next, determine how much coverage you want; this will help determine how many layers you will need to achieve the results you're wanting. There are basically three types of window treatment layers: 1) complete privacy & furniture protection (ie: blinds, shades, drapery) 2) semi-privacy (ie: sheers, light weight fabrics panels) 3) decorative (ie: panels, valances, cornices) If you're looking to showcase your windows, and are not concern with the lack of privacy or direct light damaging your furniture, a window treatment like this may be ideal for your home If, on the other hand, you're wanting to showcase your windows, but need a bit more privacy and/or protection for your furniture, a window treatment such as this one may work for your home. It does not have to be complicated...is just a matter of preference and design style. Most stores, that sell window treatments, have professions on staff that can help you make your selections. You may also want to consider taking a photograph of your window with you so they can better help you make the right selections. |
