Year-Round Seasonal Decorations To Try
Knowing when to decorate for different seasons is quick and easy when you opt for timeless and versatile pieces. Here are some tips for home décor that will look good all year round.
Opt for a Neutral Base
FEATURED: Winter Evergreen Foliage
Choose a neutral palette for your walls and furniture to create a timeless look. Shades of white, cream, taupe, or gray work well on their own and look great when combined with other hues. Add pops of color through decorative accents and switch them out as you transition into the next season.
Consider Accent Color
FEATURED: OUTDOOR MEADOW FOLIAGE
If you decide to add other tones to your home, select up to two accent colors or use multiple shades of your preferred hue. Incorporate these into smaller pieces like decorations and fabrics for a streamlined look. Whether it’s a bright yellow front door or a bold accent wall, colors add visual interest to a space.
Incorporate Natural Textures
FEATURED: FALL MEDLEY FOLIAGE
Make a space feel cozy by using materials such as wood, wicker, and rattan. Fill wooden bowls with seasonal elements such as seashells in summer, turning leaves in fall, and pinecones in winter. Interchangeable pieces like these are practical additions to your home décor.
Decorate With Greenery
FEATURED: OUTDOOR CYPRESS TOPIARY
Greenery instantly brightens up any space. Choose versatile, undecorated foliage like POTTED TREES and TOPIARIES that look great all year and can be spruced up for special occasions. Display them on their own or in groups on the porch or patio to create a welcoming ambience.
Set The Mood With Lights
