hey say that a change
is just as good as a
holiday, and a holiday
would be a godsend for a
lot of mums out there. Til
your next break lets go for
a refreshing change to your
home. As we leave one
season behind and enter a
new one, now is the time to
change the feel and look
of our homes in the most
economical way without
major renovations (that way
we can keep saving for that
holiday).
The season colours in for
this Autumn are reds, greens
,orange burgundy
The look is up to you and it all
depends and what you have
going on in your home. Some
design directions are:
Vintage, old antique, wooden
stools
Modern
Recycled and Shabby Chic
I'm sure we all have a box
in the garage that is filled
with bits and piece we have
collected over time. Dig
old things out, you will be
surprised what is back in
fashion, refresh them with a
lick of paint and make them
stand out for autumn. Also it's
a good way of de-cluttering
out with old energy in with
new energy.
Some key bits and pieces
can include:
Vases: these are great if you
have any change them up
with different kinds you can
pick up bargains for vase in
variers colours and shapes
fill them with fresh or dry
flowers. Make them the
centre of a room or cluster a
few vases together do make
a feature.
Canvas Prints: Replace your
wall art. Dig out some old
photos of your family and
friends. Keep photos in
colour or change them into
sepia or black /white. Pick
a handful of your favourites
and make one big montage.
Alternatively think big block
colours, abstract images,
landscapes and architectural
images, these are also
fabulous for your walls.
Fabric wall stickers: These
are fantastic for bringing a
room to life, especially the
bedroom, if you don't have a
bed head these are great for
creative visual interest behind
your bed. For living areas you
can also create special word
affirmations to strengthen
your family bonds. Wall
stickers can be fun for
your kids' rooms with many
