Embrace The Fall Through Colors

November 8, 2011

Fall is my favorite season for so many reasons. The warm fall colors, the crisp weather that makes breathing much more pleasant, and the fragrance of everything that says “fall is in the air”.  Fragrances such as pumpkin soup, pumpkin pies, seasonal candles etc…I imagine that’s why I always tend to go for earth tones and warm hues in a home.

Remember, your home nurtures you, so if you decorate with what makes your heart go pitter patter – then you’re guaranteed to always say “aah! when you walk in every time.

Red-orange, pumpkin and terra cotta colors can be complex colors, but are warm and welcoming. These colors work beautifully with cool colors as yellow, green and blues (if you’re into those hues).

These hues also work very well in a dining room , for they envelop a room as it were, and flatter guests with the glow they give to a room. So, don’t be paralyzed when it comes to decorating.

Here are some strategies that I have found to work with clients that find themselves paralyzed when it comes to choosing a color.

*Think and try to picture the upside or downside of doing nothing. You lose if you do nothing. You would never know what your abilities are. The upside of trying?  You might be surprised at what you are able to create giving you confidence.

*Visualize in your mind what will make you feel good in your living space and incorporate it in your home.

*Don’t expect perfection…

**I CAN’T WAIT to get a better camera, because these pictures taken with my little cheesy Sony Cyber-Shot (I apologize to the creator of the camera, but it doesn’t take quality pictures) certainly doesn’t do my after pictures justice. But I still want to share the ideas with you.**
