Vertical Solutions Blinds

Decorating can seem dull or even daunting, but in fact, it can be a lot of fun! At Window Treats serving Monmouth Beach, we have some ideas for how to make your home pop, no matter your relationship to decorating itself. One way is to decorate seasonally, so your space always has a “new” feel. Check out our tips below!

Seasonal Transformation

By rotating your décor seasonally, you can both transform your home and equate your space to nature: as things change outside, you’ll also be making them change inside. For example, with summer in full swing, consider using lighter fabrics to reflect the outside vitality. In the fall, bring in warm colors and natural elements that reflect the preparation for winter’s hibernation. Once we get to winter, use soft textures and soft lighting to create a cozy haven. And in springtime, using brighter colors and floral arrangements to reflect the idea of new growth.

Using Perishables

Using perishables for decoration can really associate your home with the season. Right now, you can express the season with cut flowers, whether from your garden or from a store. In the fall, use mini pumpkins, gourds, and turning leaves for texture, color, and ambiance. When winter hits, add a bowl of citrus to brighten the room. And in spring, break out potted herbs and bowls of grapes to bring an atmosphere of new life inside.

Don’t Forget Your Sense of Smell

Aromatics can invoke a clear sense of a season. Think about how cinnamon and cloves can immediately make you think of fall or how pine and peppermint pair with winter. Spring welcomes floral and citrus scents, and summer is all about the bliss of freedom, so coconut or “ocean breeze” scents work well. You can work in these fragrances with essential oils in diffusers or through scented candles.

Window Fashions

Window fashions don’t lend themselves to frequent rotation, but they can play a large role in complementing your seasonal décor. Neutral colors against the window can help highlight your decorations and let them be the star of the room. One great option for complementing seasonal décor is the Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shade, which offers a clean, minimal design 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 changing seasons outside. Also consider layering side panels or drapery to add pops of seasonal color or to reflect elements of the outdoors.
