Fall is a great time to put some pizzazz into your bland walls as the weather cools and the bright summer sun fades into the grayer skies of autumn weather. Therefore, I have some tips and hot trends to help homeowners redecorate their homes into a beautiful and cozy home again.
As fall sets in, those undecorated walls that were once lit up by the summer sun are now bland and crying out for color. All these do-it-yourself decorating ideas can be a hot topic at your holiday parties and make you look like a pro.
Some of the trendiest colors in home décor this fall will be bright, aggressive colors, such as all shades of blues, persimmon, butter-yellow and orange. These colors are happy colors and, in today's economy, everyone wants to be surrounded by happiness and hope. Happy colors also set good moods.
Trendy color combinations for this fall will include reds paired with yellow. These color combinations make really bold statements without overdoing it. It's also very attractive.
Texture is another trend right now. Adding simple texture to your walls, such as stripes, decals, patterns or wallpaper murals, are great ways to jazz up bland walls. Many designers believe that wallpaper murals will be popular for a time to come. They are easy to install and versatile. They also make a huge impact on a room for an affordable price.
When decorating yourself, take small steps at first. Consider what your favorite colors are and how you want to use them in your home's design. Get creative with simple tricks and don't overdo it by overpowering. Sometimes, less is better.
In the end, no matter how it turns out, always tell everyone you meant it to look exactly the way it has turned out. Hey, no one has to be perfect.
