Style for the season

What do we all have in common when the weather turns cooler?

We don’t want to get out from our warm beds!

But is your bedroom beginning to look tired?

Now is the time to bring a little cheer to your slumber palace. If your bedroom doesn’t need it, think of your guest room(s).

It doesn’t take a major investment to make some changes to create a wide awake look.

Step 1: I recommend starting with an “anchor piece” like a rug. Choose colors from warm rust, browns and beiges that are easy to find this time of year.

This tangerine rust area rug creates a cozy and inviting feel to any bedroom.

Step 2: I recommend neutral sheets and layering your bedding with one or two accent colors. Layers are all about warm, cozy TEXTURE! I’m picturing wool, velvet (traditional and crushed) quilts, or soft nubby pillows. I enjoy the mixture of a variety of size pillows: Euro, Standard/queen/king pillows, square, round or rectangle accent pillows.

Step 3: A touch of metal is something to consider. For a rustic vibe add iron accents like candle holders, ceramic vases, natural wood bowls. Brass brings in a touch of glam and adds a festive mood. You can accomplish that with brass candleholders, trays, table lamps, picture frames, and so forth. For the modern look I suggest adding black accent vases, frames, planters, etc.

Step 4: What is fall without the vibrant colors of leaves?

I would add a vase with some branches to a dresser or if you prefer wreaths, this is the time to get them. There are many options from brown/orange shades to dried green magnolia and they are perfect for seasonal wall décor.

HERE’S WHAT’S NEW IN KITCHEN DESIGN

For those people who like to feel current by following trends, there’s a lot going on in kitchen design to bring excitement and newness to this most productive room in your home. As an interior designer, I am bombarded with new options for materials, finishes and other ideas this time of year. If you are ready to try something new, consider the following: Matte Black & Grey Finishes. via houzz Kitchen Sink -- What’s “in” now is concrete, stone, copper and granite composite sinks in darker hues of gray, bronze or black. (see picture above) Last year , satin brass made its debut in kitchens and that trend continues in other interior spaces. This finish looks amazing against almost any color and when mixed with other finishes creates an eclectic look. In 2018, look for matte black in baths as well. If you are looking for a statement-making look that is both contemporary and complementary with a variety of materials and styles, embrace this versatile finish. Brass -

Useful ideas on choosing a bookcase

Du interiors Bookcases can be classical, fanciful, functional and personal …they really add to the anatomy of a room. They display your favorite reads as well as framed memories. There are so many options on deciding on the best for your nest. Here are important considerations. What Size Should Your Bookcase Be? The most basic consideration is size. How much space do you have in the room you have in mind? If space is ample, wide bookcases that measure several feet across are a good design idea. However, if room is small, go up! Taller bookcases work in space limitations, if you plan on placing a lot on them. Otherwise, one or more small bookcases would work. Measure the room before you shop. What Type of Bookcase Do You Want? If you need inspiration, we suggest checking out houzz.com , Pinterest, Instagram, and so forth. There are so many choices on the market. What is Your Budget?
