Fall In Love With Fall
All Over Again

As the air becomes crisp and summer fun gives way to indoor activities, we are seeing the newest design trends and colors reflecting the colorful changing landscape outside. Isn’t there’s just something soul-touching about nature’s cornucopia of shimmering golds, maple leaf reds and chocolate browns cast against a powder blue sky?

Continuing the trend of borrowing colors from nature, the fall season promises a vibrant color palette containing extraordinarily rich, yet versatile hues. The depth of color provides extensive options for adding room accents, changing themes and styles, and even completely re-decorating/re-designing if you wish.

Love Calming Neutrals? Painting is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to give your rooms a facelift. Traditional neutral colors never go out of style, but there are a number of new additions to the category this season. Sand, wheat, mustard, stone, and clay are just a few of the new colors that blend harmoniously with most existing design schemes. They also make a room appear larger and more open. Using a few different but coordinating colors can be a great way to add dimension to your room and highlight decorative trims, furnishings, doorways, and shelves. In a large room, different colors can divide space into visually separate areas. This is helpful in a room that serves multiple functions.

Discover more living space. Have you found that moving your family room furniture away from your walls (also known as "floating") isn’t working for your family’s lifestyle? There’s a good reason - you can easily lose 15-20% of your valuable floor space when you push your furniture out from the walls into the center of your room. Sure, it looked good in the magazine or on TV. But the latest trend is to open up your rooms and regain that much needed space without losing the cozy, inviting feel you love. Call Interior Reflections to discover new and exciting ways to reclaim that much needed space. We'll help you create a more livable and comfortable environment you’ll love to come home to!

Fall for Toile. Today, toile (pronounced “twal”) fabrics go with most everything. Do the unexpected: use a toile with a sage green background with the scenes outlined in a vibrant raspberry. We use toiles for stunning bedspreads (outline quilting = wow!), decorative pillows, overstuffed chairs, cloverleaf ottomans and more.

Did you know? Originating in France in the late 1700’s, these timeless farm-inspired scenes are most easily recognized for their monochromatic color scheme printed on a natural linen ground.

Isn’t it about time for a miracle product? In 1906 an Illinois gentleman invented the Tibet Almond Stick. Quick as a wink, it makes surface scratches on wood disappear. Our clients have used it on scuffed up kitchen cabinets, block paneled walls and other wood surfaces with great success. Look for it in small red and yellow can at your local hardware store. It’ll take you more than a lifetime to use it up. When you make a design appointment with us, we’ll be happy to bring one for you to keep.

Our family room is in desperate need of updating and we are planning to buy either a flat screen or plasma TV to get started. Where should we put it?

You have an exciting project ahead of you! Sounds like your TV is an important part of your family room experience. That immediately tells us it will most likely be a focal point. In our design experience, a TV often trumps a fireplace or any other architectural element in determining your family room’s main focal point. Naturally, we recommend arranging your furnishings keeping your TV placement in mind for easy viewing.

Our clients frequently ask “can we place our flat screen TV above our fireplace?” Depending on the height of your fireplace mantle – maybe so. But take a test drive first. Have a seat and visualize how comfortable it will be for you to constantly be looking up. Visualize looking at the center of your computer monitor if it was raised 3’ up from your desk surface. Same principle – you’ll just need to find a good masseuse!

One of the best solutions we offer is Stanley Furniture’s Grand Plasma Theatre Wall. It’s a beautiful entertainment center with an amazing remote controlled, power lift system hidden inside. The “now you see it, now you don’t” feature marries beauty and function giving you maximum room design flexibility. By adding right and left display bookcases with cabinet storage below, we can create a dramatic theater wall your family will enjoy for years to come.
