Since we have focused on the exterior of the home, let’s look inward this week.

Fall color palates for interior paint can invoke hygge and feelings of warm, cozy comfort. They are perfect for places where family spends time together, such as living rooms.

These colors don’t necessarily have to be dark, like when you think of Halloween and haunted woods (though dark studies or bedrooms can certainly have an amazing dramatic or elegant feel to them!) Think instead of the autumn leaves, warm-toned browns or a rich rust color, forest-y green accents with neutral beige or even white as the main color. Also, white and sage greens with pops of pumpkin and mustard yellow are great fall colors to bring into your home.

If you don’t want to repaint, you can explore wallpaper as an alternative! There is a wallpaper for everyone and it’s not what you remember. Most wallpapers are made to be easily strippable and there are even Peel-N-Stick options that are removable stickers (and perfect for dorms and apartments!) Current wallpaper has patterns ranging from bold geometrics to neutral textures to natural fibers, just about any color or pattern that you are looking for can be found in our 300+ wallpaper book library. Stop by our 6995 Bird Rd store or call 305-666-3300 for more information!

You can always bring in accent pieces, such as textiles and décor with fall colors that will blend with your current color palate.

Green is probably one of the most versatile colors on the spectrum. From calming sage to vibrant and exciting lime, this color has something for everyone. From Cottagecore to Minimalist, you can incorporate this color into your home, office or business.

The color green is well known to be a calming color. One that brings quiet to a space and peace to a busy mind. Green is also a color that allows you to bring nature into your space, through the use of potted plants, herbs and even botanical prints in art and wallpaper.

People want to connect to nature and even with a minimalist style home, you can make this happen. Green accents in wallpaper, art and textiles are a great way to bring pops of color to a minimalist color palate.

Darker, forest greens on walls and furniture bring sophistication to a space and when paired with leather and dark woods make a room feel more masculine or connected to nature. Dark greens also have a feeling of calm and stillness which is why it is often used in libraries, studies and spaces where focus and deep thinking happen.

Bright greens such as lime and chartreuse are colors associated with nature, confidence and high energy. This color is used in gyms, sports gear and other areas where you want to pump up the energy. It is also associated with inspiration and creativity, so feel free to use splashes of these tones in art studios or creative spaces, like playrooms for kids!  Because of its energetic feelings though, this color should likely stay out of bedrooms or other areas of the home where you want to be able to relax.

Right in the middle are pastel and muted greens like sage and sea glass that are used to promote tranquility and calm. These colors are often used in spas, bedrooms and bathrooms- all places where you want to be able to relax after a long day. The soft feelings of these colors also bring to mind Spring and the changing of the seasons.

Bringing greenery such as potted plants, succulents, cut flowers and dried herbs are all amazing ways to add interest to a space and also improve the feeling of your home.

Hello!

Welcome back.

Today we are going to talk about our 3rd 2021 Interior Design Trend: Minimalist.

This trend emerged in the 20th Century as a foil for the highly decorative styles of days past. It has never completely gone out of style and has quietly evolved with the times.

Minimalist decor focuses on practicality with uncluttered spaces that highlight the items in them with a typically bright and clean color palate.

By having so few items in a space, everything there should be purchased with an eye for functionality, beauty and clean lines.  

Having a place for everything and having everything in its’ place is a major component for Minimalist style. This can be obtainable even if you have children by purchasing with intention and acquiring toys that are beautiful, bespoke and can grow with your child(ren).

For a more modern take, add greenery! Bringing live plants helps remove the stark feeling with the typical gray and white color palate. It is also a great way to start Spring and Summer.

Do you relate to the Minimalist style or is it something you would want to try in your home?

Hello!

Welcome back.

For our 2nd Interior Design Trend for 2021, we are going with a granny chic look that is taking over.

Grand Millennial is a term coined by House Beautiful. This style is designed “to have an affinity for design trends considered by mainstream culture to be ‘stuffy’ or ‘outdated’. When we mean granny chic, we mean it!

Think of large floral wallpapers, or the heavily patterned couches of yesteryear. Needlepoint, knitting and crochet (with a modern twist) are other great way to incorporate the Grand Millennial style into your home.

Grand Millennial is also a complete push against the Minimalist style that was so popular with the previous generation. This trend mixes patterns, bold colors and textures to make a space feel cozy and inviting while also almost feeling cluttered.

Wallpaper can also be a large part of this trend. Toile, chintz and floral patterns are an easy place to start, but add a metallic accent to the paper for a modern twist. You can also add abstract art to modernize the look.  Other ways to easily incorporate this look into a room are lace and doilies, fringe, velvet furniture and bold jewel tones or saturated earth tones.

To really pull off this look, keep the color palate consistent. You can pick bold patterns for fabric, wallpaper and rugs but keep them in the same color family.

This style is perfect for those who want to support small businesses too. Etsy shops, antique stores and local artists are all options for accent pieces to give your room a unique, curated look. One local (to Miami, Fl) business is Vintage Rose Home, they refresh furniture and find amazing small accent items.

Let us know what you love (or hate) about the Grand Millennial style!

2021 is here and it is time to make your personal space your perfect place.

With something for everyone, this year’s interior design trends are filled with color, comfort and best of all- customization, there is really something for everyone!

Quarantine has really helped people appreciate the space where they have to live and work more than ever before and because of this, we are encouraging people to go wild and figure out what really makes their house a Home.

This is the year to explore color, texture and personal styles. (Especially since great-aunt Maude isn’t going to be dropping by for an unexpected visit!)

Here, I will be discovering and defining a new Design Trend each week, including Cottagecore, Grand Millennial, Minimalist and how to use all the rich colors and fabrics in your everyday spaces. I will also discuss how to allow your children to customize their own rooms quickly and easily!

But let’s start with a brief look at the 3 main styles that are cropping up this year; Cottagecore, Grand Millennial and Minimalist. 

All of these styles are influenced by the  quarantine; which has caused everyone to stay home more than ever before. 

Cottagecore is our throwback style; think of flowy, floral peasant dresses, indoor plants, soft lighting and wood tones.  Taylor Swift spurred this style on with her new album “Evermore” and plaid covered studio sessions, while the bread making craze at the beginning of quarantine is what really started the aesthetic. This style is grounded in nature, bringing the outdoors inside and connecting to the world around you.

Next up we have Grand Millennial- which is all about Granny Chic and creating a cluttered, yet homey feel to your space. To achieve this look, jewel tones, lush fabrics, busy wallpaper and lots of knickknacks. While this aesthetic can seem overwhelming, it creates a space built for creativity or curling up with a good book.

The last design trend we are going to explore is Minimalism. This organized aesthetic was also made popular by quarantine and the idea that less is more. The clean, uncluttered look is a great way to bring calm and order to a world that feels a little out of our control. For this style, think warm whites or grays, natural wood tones mixed with concrete and a “Less is more” mentality.

I am looking forward to delving deeper into these trends and more in the coming year.

Always dream in color!
