With the Holiday season approaching, I’m always a little bit in awe of the beauty and warmth this season brings. It’s a season for gathering with friends and family, catching up and sharing stories, and creating cherishes new memories in the spaces we all call home. At Andrea Schumacher Interiors, our mission is to create environments that don’t just captivate the eye but embrace a sense of luxury, comfort and individuality that is unique to each of our clients.
This Holiday season, as you prepare for events and gatherings, join me in immersing yourself in the spirit of fall, and the warmth it brings. Here are just a few of my favorite interior design tips to transform your home into a cozy sanctuary.
Embrace WARM TONES. Why not let all of the rich colors of autumn — think rusty, burnt oranges, rich reds and golden yellows — infuse your spaces with their unique seasonal charm. By incorporating these colors through vibrant pillows and throws, cozy blankets and captivating artwork, you can create an atmosphere that transforms your home for the season.
LAYER TEXTURES. There’s no way around it: Fall is synonymous with comfort. By layering textures like soft wool throws, plush rugs and natural materials like wood, you can seamlessly add depth and coziness to your interior space. By layering texture, you can cultivate a coziness that makes every guest feel instantly at home.
Incorporate NATURE. No matter where you live, invite the beauty of nature indoors with seasonal elements to Fall — like branches, pinecones and fresh flowers. Even a simple vase of sunflowers or a centerpiece of gourds can infuse your interior space with the beauty of all things Fall.
Don’t forget: LIGHTING MATTERS. This time of year, as daylight starts to diminish, finding exactly the right light can truly transform your home. By choosing warm, ambient lighting with lamps and candles, you can create a cozy atmosphere that encourages relaxation and conversation.
Always add PERSONAL TOUCHES. I always say that your home should tell your unique story. By adding personal elements like family photos, treasured finds from your travels and other family heirlooms, you add character that is unique to, allowing guests to discover parts of your history and narrative when they enter your home.
I’m always reminded that my path to interior design at Andrea Schumacher Interiors began as a pursuit of passion that blossomed into the interior design firm that it is today. Throughout the years I’ve had the privilege of working on so many vastly different projects; I’ve approached them all with a design philosophy that’s about creating visually striking spaces that are also functional and reflect the lives of those within them.
As we embrace this Holiday season, let’s celebrate the beauty of design and the joy of crafting interior spaces that bring us together. I hope some of these tips add a little bit of warmth to your season. Wishing you all a wonderful Holiday season filled with love, laughter and, as always, beauty.
