Getting your house season-ready

It’s not necessary to completely change your interior design with each season, but we do have a few home decorating ideas to make your home more season-ready.

Winter: Warmer textures and heavier fabrics speak to cold weather and staying inside where it is warm. In the winter, make your fireplace the focal point of your design. The flames not only keep you warm, but they also give off a beautiful glow in your home. Adding some heavy throws or quilts to the backs of chairs and sofas will be useful and also add richness and texture to your home. Keep in mind that you may need to rearrange furniture to make room for holiday decorations.

Spring: Spring is all about new blooms and green popping up everywhere. Bring the outdoors in with fresh flowers. Open up your drapes and let the natural light flow in and warm your house. You can even switch out heavy drapes for lighter or sheer ones. Replace your down comforter with a brightly colored, light cotton blanket.

Summer: Break out the patio furniture! Your outdoor living space should have style—just like the inside of your house. Use brightly colored patio chair cushions to keep the fun atmosphere as high as the temperature. White always looks crisp in the summer and brightens up any space, so add white accessories where you can. Don’t forget to change the flowers, keeping them fresh and bright.

Fall: Fall colors are popular in almost any design theme, so emphasize them during the season. You can bring out accessories with heavier textures and warmer colors from storage. Also, because of the fall holidays, you can incorporate a lot of natural objects into your design, including pumpkins and an autumn leaf wreath. Take flowers out of the vases you used in previous seasons, and fill them with natural elements that represent the fall, like pinecones and colorful Indian corn.
