Ideas for Home Harvesting this Fall

Fall is all about harvesting, nesting and sharing time indoors with loved ones.  It is also a time to prepare for all of the upcoming holiday home activities.  Here are some new idea’s to get your home ready for the fall and impending holiday rush.

Room Flow – analyze the room flow from the entry of your home.  Ensure that there are no bottlenecks or areas in which is cluttered with too much furniture or “stuff”.   Rearrange furniture or eliminate some items to create a cohesive flow from room to room.

Area Rugs – if you have hardwood floors, add some new area rugs in the foyer, living room, kitchen or den.  Select a geometric or more modern design and color palette than you are used to.

Focal Point – select a new paint color for a focal point in your room. Update the fireplace wall or art wall with a fresh new paint color.

Lighting – purchase a new lamp with a shade with light is facing down. Make sure that the size and style of the shade complements the style of the rest of your room.  Use a soft white or pink light blub instead of a bright white blub to create instant warmth to any room.
