Fall Design Trends

With fall just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about simple redecorations to keep the style of your house in sync with the season!  Try as many of these ideas as you’d like, no matter what you’re sure to get a fall inspired room.

Update your throw pillows. A simple change in throw pillows can go a long way. Compliment your sofas and chairs with plush throw pillows. Make sure to choose a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. For the complete fall look, try a deep red or orange.

Layer your area rugs. This is a simple way to add color and texture to your floors! Choose from different styles, patterns, and colors. The extra padding will also keep your feet warm during the colder months.

Change up your window shades. It’s time to take the breezy and airy curtains down and hang up something more suitable for winter.  Try a deeper color window treatment, or one that offers insulation and a feeling of coziness.

Place candles around the house. Fall means shorter days, and less sunlight. Candles are a great way to add light and style all in one. Place various heights and colors next to each other for a more personal look.

Last but not least, swap out your summer bedding. With the cooler months coming in, it’s time to dig out your heavier comforter and blankets.

Painting Ideas: Simple ways to add your personal touch on your home

There are many different ways to customize your home to make it adhere to your style. One of the cheapest and easiest ways to do this is by painting! A quick and easy paint job can turn the style of your home from drab to fab in no time.

1.  Add texture to your wall. Transforming your plain walls with a sophisticated finish is a simple way to style to your room. Painting over crinkled tissue paper is a simple way to do this. Add a layer of paint on the wall, apply the crinkled tissue paper, and then finish it off with another layer of paint. 

2. To create a classic, elegant background, paint parchment stripes on your wall. First mark the stripes on your wall with a water color pencil. Then, simply put a small piece of tape on the stripes to keep it all straight. Last, mix your paint with one part water, and one part glaze in separate containers to get two separate colors. Now you’re ready to paint your stripes!

3. Transform a plain accent wall with a distressed paint job. Using simple household items, this is an easy way to create an antique finish on your walls. Paint your walls with a toilet brush to create rough streaks to give your walls a distressed look.

4. Spice up your furniture with an antique look. By adding your favorite stencil to your furniture pieces, you can easily get an antique feel to your room.  First cover your furniture with an oil-based primer. Once it dries, paint your favorite stencil on with a satin finished paint and blot with a towel.

Once your new style is adapted by your painting technique, complete the remodel with furniture to match. Check out all of our different styles of furniture at http://hudsonsfurniture.com/.
