The Look of Fall

With summer weather coming to an end, and the fall season upon us, it’s time to start shifting your interiors from summer vibes and bright colors, to the cozy throws and deep hues of fall. The light blue and coral throw pillows can be stowed away until next spring, and the orange, browns and deep blue pillows can take their place on your sofa and lounge chairs.

Cozy throw pillows can drape your sofas and chairs, or can be stored in a wicker basket near your table, making it easy for guests to stay warm and comfortable upon their visit. The simple addition of darker, richer hues and throw blankets instantly bring the relaxing feeling of fall to your interiors.

Another great way to bring the essence of fall into your home is with little touches, such as hints of white and orange subtly placed throughout your space. Vases brimming with yellow or orange flowers, candles, and knickknacks upon your mantel exude fall.

With more gatherings happening inside during the fall, an entryway table is a great piece that can easily welcome guests into your home and make them feel at ease. Just as decorating a mantel, picture frames, flowers and rustic artifacts can bring fall into your entryway.

Decorating with the Greatest Mood Lifter

Of all the colors, yellow is the greatest mood lifter of them all. Yellow, whether muted or bright, has the ability to bring a sense of both calmness and happiness to any room that it is used in. While both shades of the color bring happiness to your interiors, some of the shades of yellow work best in different rooms.

As a result of the brightness of a louder yellow, it’s best to keep this shade out of the bedroom, as it disrupts both sleep and one’s concentration, due to its ability to increase energy. Bright yellows work best in the kitchen, living room, and also works well in accent pieces or furniture.  As an accent color, it allows the décor to stand out.

A buttery yellow, on the other hand, work well in just about any room. It can function as a neutral, and has the same effect as sunlight streaming through your windows.

Decorating with Stripes

Stripes, a trend that never goes out of style, are an easy design to incorporate into any room. They can be charming and playful, or promote order. While wider stripes are best suited for larger rooms, thinner stripes are best in small areas.

Not All Stripes Are The Same

For a bit of an edge, horizontal stripes should adorn your walls, while vertical stripes are perfect for making your interior appear larger. For a traditional look, moderate width stripes are your best bet.

Carmagnola Pattern

 

While stripes are commonly found on walls, they can also be used on throw pillows, lamps, or on your floors. Carmagnola, a pattern from the Dabbieri Collection, adds depth to your floor in twelve differing colors. On promotion until September 30, 2014, Carmagnola brings a fresh look to your floors.

Do you prefer stripes to be vertical or horizontal in design?

Fresh, White Kitchens

As trends and seasons come and go, one look that will always be a favorite is a crisp, fresh, white kitchen. The kitchen is one of the most popular rooms in your home or apartment. A place where friends and family come to cook with one another, entertain guests, and where they spend their mornings waking up.

White Options

From all white cabinetry and appliances, to strictly white walls and cabinets, there are various routes one can take when bringing the light, airy color to the kitchen.

 Bringing In Character

With a crisp white kitchen, you can bring bold, fun colors into the interior with the use of dishware, flowers, and furniture. Blue, gold, light green, and black all pair beautifully with a white canvas.

Marble countertops, reflective surfaces, and dark floors are other great additions to a white kitchen that will certainly make your space pop.
