Have you ever walked into someone’s home and made a quick
mental calculation of what decade they decorated that particular
room, based on the fabrics and colors? You would never dress
yourself head-to-toe in clothes and accessories that were more
than a decade old, so why should your house be “dressed” in outof-date attire?
You can take a tip from the fashion runways to pick up some
fresh ideas for your home. This fall we can expect to see plenty of
texture and coziness in our clothing, and sweater knits on pillows
and throws, or thick shaggy rugs for the home. Furs and leathers
are finding their way onto creative furniture and even woven with
other fibers into rugs.
Birds are embroidered, printed and appliqued onto every type
of garment, particularly tops and coats this fall, according to fashion bloggers. In the home, you can find them in textiles, furniture
and lighting.
Influences from the 1960s are making their way back in the
form of mini-skirts, knee-high boots and mod prints. The mod
prints are showing up on fabrics for draperies and furniture that
look a lot like my mother’s Paris apartment from 1964.
Adding a few new accessories to your home every year can keep
your rooms looking fresh and up-to-date without a major overhaul.
