Décor Pick Me Up: Dazzle Your Rooms in Rich Blues

Chase the winter blues away with a Navy colour palette-the rich look naturally brings warmth to a space, while leaving you feeling cozy. Try these nifty décor pick-me-ups and chase your blues away while remaining right on trend this season!

Fashion Meets Function

High-traffic areas in the home can cause significant damage to floors, in particular, hardwood. We suggest putting a runner down in a soft blue. The functionality makes it a perfect solution to any kid or pet-friendly home. The plush material adds texture and accents a room that is often overlooked.

 

Don’t Overlook the Outdoors

Having outdoor mats that greet your guests in the same fashion your front entrance does, is tricky. Choose a mat with colour-outside the traditional black-it will add subtle drama and differentiate you from the other homes on your street.

 

Change it Up – Bring in the Old!

Impulse purchases are often done when you envision an item in a particular place in the home. After a few months, change it up! Reuse items, but in another room. A simply re-shift can create the allusion that an item is new.  It saves money, but allows you to still redecorate!

 

Preparing for the storm ahead

Take note to this image I snapped during my early morning trek with my dog. 

If a 10 foot Santa doesn’t say it, I will -my street has officially lit up with Christmas cheer! Most look forward to this all season long – including myself – albeit I’m not sure how I feel about a 10 foot Santa waving to me outside my window, but, regardless, the cheer may be here but winter is just around the corner. To prepare, we suggest pairing functional mats with season doormats.

Let visitor’s know that you are in the festive spirit with these holiday mats. With the bold red and green, it will definitely make a statement.

 

Bring on the Unexpected

In our household, we always have unplanned visits from family and friends during the holidays. Here are some simple solutions that will bring the home together for the expected and unexpected.

Multy Home’s two-toned hallway runner will eliminate scuff marks and dirt from getting on your floors. Find a high-traffic area to use this functional mat.

Our new Hudson mat has a durable top surface that is ideal for scraping off dirt from underfoot. Put in the front or back entrance ways.

Create a nook that has your guests wanting to take a load off. They may not stay long, or are longer than expected, but at least your rooms are set with dark colours that are in line with winter colour trends.

Decorating Tips – 5 Ways to Welcome in Autumn

1.  Fawn Foliage

Accent leaves are a great way to embrace the season ... indoors. This chocolate taupe mat compliments the oak wood cabinets, while making it an inviting place to cook.

 

2.  Harvest Haven

Pumpkins, squash and all things orange bring warmth and fun to any room.

3.  Flower-Power
We often see flowers in spring, but try accenting a room with a yellow floral print, contrasted by a dark color. The distinction will compliment a room, while creating a modern look!

 

4.  Heavenly Red

Sure, Christmas is only four months away but let's start the holiday season early. Add a deep red colored entrance mat to the front door and greet guests with chic sophistication.

5.  Horizontal Stripes 

Having long narrow hallways can make it difficult to decorate. Try mats that have horizontal stripes. The color variety adds a splash of fun while the bold stripes allude to a larger space.
