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.

Add a quilt or throw at the end of the bed or to an accent chair or bench.

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.

Melissa & Mike visiting the construction site... a marvelous winter landscape! The calendar years of 2020/2021 have been one of the most challenging and unpredictable years of my life. On the other hand, they have also been one of my best professionally. The saying time flies when you are busy is true! My last blog was in November! Therefore, I am enjoying taking a break and sharing with you my pleasure in having had an opportunity to meet some wonderful new clients and catch up with existing clients. They kept me busy with consultations, renovations, new contractors and problem-solving with people working and teaching their children at home. You might think the interval during new construction won't have much of an effect on interior design, but decisions made from initial drawings and during construction have a profound effect on home decor. They set the groundwork for client satisfaction, such as this project. As the point person for a couple building their third (and fi...

Oh, the joy of accessories!

Du interiors project A person can have a lovely home with nice things and it can look attractive but the overall effect is that nothing really grabs the eye. What could make the pleasantly ordinary come alive are well-placed accessories. It is with decorative objects that a home gets its personality. Their color, form, texture and design transform a room from OK to “wow”. Du interiors It could be achieved by adding just one oversize art (bathroom below), one interesting object (the metal display ladder blanket below), or a collection of things that are distinctive and eye-catching like the 3 candle-wall sconces in the bedroom below. For some, adding that out-of-the-ordinary vase or arrangement or piece of art does the trick. Du interiors Master Bedroom Du interiors Bedroom Du interiors Bedroom Objects give rooms personality.
