Patterned interior finishes can spice up a living space and add interest that gets people talking

HUNTER DOUGLAS - Fresh Ideas for Your Home from Just Right Blinds & Shutters

 

 

Solid colors are soothing and calm, but sometimes an entire room of solid colors can just seem boring. Don’t be shy to try patterns in your interior elements – they can make a dramatic design statement or subtly amp up the interest in a room.

The varieties of patterns are almost unlimited – stripes, circles, paisley, chevrons, trellis and lattice looks, even polka dots and animal prints. And patterned finishes come in almost any color combination, from subtle to bold, from traditional to totally contemporary. Today many patterns have an Asian, Latin American or Moorish flavor.

You don’t have to make a long-term decision to see if you like living with patterns. Start small with linens or throw pillows, or start subtle with soft, muted colors instead of bold and bright. Combine a small amount of patterned elements with the same colors in solid pieces for a cohesive look. Consider these design elements:

Wallcoverings in a bold print, including animal prints and geometric designs

Stenciled or painted floors

Tile or marble floors designed in a pattern, such as a black and white checkerboard

Carpets in bold patterns

Black and white striped walls

Floral patterns, stripes or plaid mixed in upholstery or draperies

Lattice pattern wallcoverings

Chevron stripes in upholstery fabric and rugs

Loosen your inhibitions when you decorate this season. Be brave and add patterns to your life – and to your home.

HUNTER DOUGLAS - Fresh Ideas for Your Home from Just Right Blinds & Shutters

In your living room or great room, the sofa is the star.

In many rooms, a sofa – or a grouping of sofas – is the focal point. Take care when you select a sofa, and your entire room will fall into place.

The fun part of selecting a sofa is finding the style and material you like. The most durable material is leather because leather actually looks better as it gets worn, while most fabrics just look tired as they get worn. Solid color materials are easier to decorate with, but patterns don’t show dirt as easily. Neutral colors are the safest choice, but selecting a bolder hue makes a statement and may better match your personality.

Sofas come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with a choice of arm and leg styles.

• The shape determines the overall feel of your sofa – some are soft and feminine, while others are tailored and modern. And there's everything in between.

• Then there are the arms and the legs to consider. Several styles of sofa arms are available, and it's the same with the legs. It’s best to check out all the choices when you shop to see what you like best.

• Size matters too – to make sure the sofa fits your room's scale and allows plenty of room for movement. For a large room, consider a sectional or two sofas facing each other or placed at right angles.

No matter how great a sofa looks, its reason for being is comfort, durability and support. A strong frame is key – and usually hardwood is best. Soft cushions filled with down are inviting, but may make it difficult to get on and off the couch because your body just sinks in. Foam is supportive and less expensive, but not as luxurious. Often an in-between cushion choice – a foam core, with a down-filled cover – is just right.

As part of your sofa shopping experience, sit or lie on the sofa, just as you would at home to test its comfort. And fidget around a bit to make sure the frame is solid and well-made.

Select the perfect sofa, and it will shine in its starring role in your living room or great room.

One of the easiest ways to make people feel comfortable in your home is to add some cozy touches.

Small touches can create a cozy feel, no matter what your decorating style says Todd Zimmerman of Just Right Blinds & Shutters a Hunter Douglas showcase dealer.

Have you noticed that in hotels and large office lobbies, the space is usually divided into several seating areas that provide intimacy and a sense of connection? That's because large spaces can make people feel unsettled. Most people are attracted to cozy spaces that feel comfortable and safe.

It's the same for our homes. So, even if you’re fortunate enough to have a large house or large rooms in your house, dividing the large spaces into smaller seating areas and creating cozy alcoves can make people enjoy their time in your home more, feeling safe, secure and comfortable.

You can add a cozy look, no matter how your home is decorated. Some cozy touches include:

• Finishing a bay window area with a fabric-covered seat and soft window fashions

• Setting up a small, snug dining area in the corner of your kitchen or in the corner of a den or patio

• Making the landing at the top of your stairs into an intimate seating area, with a small couch or chairs and a bookcase

• Adding soft rugs over hard surface floors, such as tile and wood

• Topping your window fashions with soft fabric draperies or top treatments from Hunter Douglas

• Arranging throw pillows and soft throws over your couches and chairs

• …And for a quick and easy scented touch of cozy-ness, put out spicy smelling candles or bake some gingerbread or apple pie!

Increase the coziness of your home this winter, and friends and family will gather!
