Fall Makeovers for Your Home

Blinds.com | 21 Oct 2008 | Seasonal Trends

The
lazy days of summer have long past.  As the holidays approach we all need some quick ways to make our home into a more cozy place to entertain.
Creating nooks for sitting, reading or eating will invite your guests to
relax.  Break out heavier draperies and accessories in rich autumnal colors to herald in the
new season.

Reading Nook

What We Love:Bold patterned wallpaper, a hinged folding screen, and an
oh-so-cute pug to stand guard over it all.

What Makes It Perfect for Fall: This room lives by the “add color with
accessories” credo: the brown lampshade, antique rusted starburst mirror,
and orange pillow make this otherwise neutral room ready for autumn.

Breakfast Room

What We Love: The cozy look and feel of plaid and the functionality
of a breakfast nook.

What Makes It Perfect for Fall: Plaid curtains and seat covers
couldn’t be any more traditional “fall,” but they always look crisp
and fresh.  Hurry this month, save 15% off Thomas Kinkade curtains at Blinds.com.

Living Room

What We Love: Tie-on slipcovers for the chairs (so easy!) and prim
and proper drapes make us smile.

What Makes It Perfect for Fall: A large area rug that ties in both
the warm reds and oranges of the sofa and the cool blue of the wallpaper and
drapes.
