Matching Your Home Décor to the Seasons

If you feel bored with your home’s look, did you know you can easily make changes without upending the entire thing? At F&R Interiors serving the greater Los Angeles area, we know that decorating can be daunting for some people, but we have a few suggestions for how to make it easier—and maybe even a little fun! Check them out below.

Seasonal Décor

Rotating your décor each season can transform your home easily. As we’re nearing autumn, you can start to use warm colors and natural elements that reflect the idea of external transformation. In winter, use softer textures and lighting to give the idea of comfort and refuge. When spring rolls around, start using brighter colors and floral arrangements. And for summer, you could consider lighter fabrics to reflect the vitality outside.

Add Perishables

Natural decorative elements, perishables and consumables let you express flair. Mini pumpkins and gourds can play a role in your décor, as well as things that evoke colored leaves. In winter, a bowl of oranges or lemons can brighten the space and illuminate the room. In spring and summer, fresh flowers, potted herbs, and bowls of fruit evoke thoughts of growth and vibrancy.

Use Scent

People aren’t necessarily consciously aware of it, but scent can create a strong seasonal atmosphere in a home. In the fall, cinnamon and clove are popular, while pine, cedarwood, and peppermint bring home winter memories. For spring, add floral and citrus scents, and in the summer, create a sense of the bliss of freedom with coconut or “ocean breeze” scents.

How Window Treatments Help

It’s obviously not practical to rotate your window fashions seasonally, but they can still play a role in your overall look by complementing your changing décor. Using neutral colors against your windows helps ensure that color changes throughout the room can pop. A great minimalist option, Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades offer clean lines that will work well with any external change. Silhouette® Sheer Shades are designed with an adjustable S-shaped vane that helps diffuse light beautifully and offers excellent view-through to the outside. Plus, for many window fashions, you can layer side panels or drapery that is easy to rotate.
