Getting Your Home Ready for Fall!

As fall approaches we start to notice the vibrant colors of Mother Nature all around us. Let’s take a cue from this colorful time of year and think a little outside the box on where we use color in our homes.

      

 

A ceiling tray with beams can be a focal point with a splash of color and really showcase the beams, as shown here in a recent show home.

 

The yellow color (Sherwin Williams Solaria SW6688) draws you into the room from the front entry and plays well off the gray walls (Sherwin Williams Silverplate SW7649).

The colors are repeated to accent the bar feature tucked into the staircase wall. Pull the color into accessory pieces to pull the whole look together.

 

 

Take a look at your home and see if you can add a splash of color to bring the home’s features to the fore front.

Color Alert!

The Color Marketing Group presents a Color Alert!  Berrylicious! 

 

The article reads ” Whether spring, summer, fall, or winter, there is no denying the luscios temptation of deep berry hues. The richness of Color Marketing Groups “Berrylicious” is mouthwatering and practically palatable as it graces homes and fashion. 

Realized in everything from textured brocade to fu to pain to context textile, it is a color that can stand alone as well as offer a springboard from which other hues can contrast. It is fresh way to enliven grey, becomes shocking with coral, and can be calming when layered with other berry-inspired hues.

Fresh from the produce aisle. “Berrylicious” brings luscious to glorious life.

Trend Research

DESIGN NOTES:

 

I recently spent some time doing a little color “trend research” by shopping at some of our local stores; Target, Kohl’s and Lowe’s.  I’m not really looking for what is coming but rather what is available at the retail level.

Gray is still a dominate player. It is being used with yellow, coral and turquoise in several textile areas like towels, rugs and pillows. This gives you the perfect opportunity to jump in and spiff up your home  Replace the bedding set with one that uses some of the mentioned combinations along with matching towels for the master bath. Add throw pillows in coral or turquoise to the sofa in the living room.

Another strong trend for consumers today is the predominance of the grommet style drape panels. Patterns and prints are both very popular. Don’t be afraid to refresh a house with new drape panels in the living room and family room. Panels are almost always in 84” long lengths and two panels are all that is needed to treat a window, one panel on each side of the window, or windows.

Take advantage of spring fever to give your home an updated look.
