Fall In Love With Fall All Over Again

As the air becomes crisp and summer fun gives way to indoor activities, we are seeing the newest design trends and colors reflecting the colorful changing landscape outside. Isn’t there’s just something soul-touching about nature’s cornucopia of shimmering golds, maple leaf reds and chocolate browns cast against a powder blue sky?

Continuing the trend of borrowing colors from nature, the fall season promises a vibrant color palette containing extraordinarily rich, yet versatile hues. The depth of color provides extensive options for adding room accents, changing themes and styles, and even completely re-decorating/re-designing if you wish.

Love Calming Neutrals? Painting is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to give your rooms a facelift. Traditional neutral colors never go out of style, but there are a number of new additions to the category this season. Sand, wheat, mustard, stone, and clay are just a few of the new colors that blend harmoniously with most existing design schemes. They also make a room appear larger and more open. Using a few different but coordinating colors can be a great way to add dimension to your room and highlight decorative trims, furnishings, doorways, and shelves. In a large room, different colors can divide space into visually separate areas. This is helpful in a room that serves multiple functions.

Stylish Accessories - Painting isn’t the only way to give a stylish nod to autumn. Look for blankets, pillows, and rugs in darker colors and textured fabrics to complement your furniture. Choose fabric patterns with metallic or beaded detail, embroidery, or Mideastern influences. And remember to add various-sized candles in delicious seasonal scents like cinnamon, vanilla, apple and pumpkin pie. Use accents with metallic finishes such as copper and pewter for a rustic fall look.

Perhaps you already have art and accessories to fill bare walls, table tops and empty corners but aren’t sure of the best way to display them. Do you have bookcases whose contents need balancing to be more visually pleasing? Save time and remember our creative re-arranging service that always wins rave reviews.

The Power of Red– Whether it’s cherry, persimmon, or cranberry, there is an abundance of red you can use this season. Accessories such as beautiful crimson wool rugs and custom pillows – make red a bold, yet safe selection. Along with darker shades of burgundy and cinnamon, reds make your room feel both comforting and energizing, adding a feeling of warmth as the weather gets cooler.

The Wow Factor Of Complementary Colors- When we think of holiday colors, we often picture red and green together. This is a classic example of a complementary color scheme which pair colors directly opposite one another on the color wheel. Orange + blue and purple + yellow are the other two main complementary color schemes. A pyracantha’s red berries contrasted with its glossy, deep green leaves and eye-popping purple and gold pansies are perfect examples of mother nature’s complementary color schemes.

Color Tip: Notice in each instance, a warm color is paired with a cool color. Easily confused with the word complimentary, you’d think these colors naturally go well together. Not true. In reality, complementary colors are the most challenging to mix successfully in a room. Why consider them? When you want to create a space that almost takes your breath away with dramatic beauty (perhaps your entry ), then a complementary color scheme may be right for you. It’s smart to call Interior Reflections before you get started. Using time-tested color principles, we’ll show you how complementary colors can co-exist beautifully with what you already have. Who knows? Complementary colors could become your signature style!
