As we inch closer towards the end of the year, you might find yourself at a cross between fall and winter. I have whipped up a cosy example to show you how you can mix a room for both seasons. I wanted to put a spin on another one of DECO’s lovely houses, “The Avalon”. This one was quite challenging as it uses prodominantly white and grey oak wood and are perfect subtle choices, but generally, we tend to use warm colors for autumn. The open rooms help us to make use of space and utilitise colors. LISP’s “Vine Vite Bistro Kitchen” is an example of piece of furniture that I wanted to design the room around. It’s perfect for a cabin feel and gives the room a vintage flair. The room is further accented with the use of stone, wools, wicker and dark iron. When you are dealing with a semi neutral palette, it is ok to use bold color. I love adding hints of red and as you can see the burst of red grabs your attention; just make sure that you use it sparingly so that your room remains balanced. Additionally, books and low lit candles are excellent details to add to any room. Having made up an interior with a fusion of styles, we have managed to mix modern, vintage and contemporary furniture.
