Decor Trends & Tips Fall 2009: Bloom

Garden Party
Butterfly window treatments

Amy Butler Rug
Nature and the beauty of flowers, butterflies and all that blooms has never been more inspiring - literally. And color from nature's garden: Cool blues, royal purple, bright pink, red rose, yellow and lime green are the perfect pops of color for accessorizing this Fall. There is a renewed appreciation for our environment, whether it is a natural motif or actually organic and eco friendly. It will transcend style or any other trend and it is here to stay...grow & evolve.

So you can feel good about investing in one of a kind hand made items and supporting your local artists. Collecting and combining ethnic, artisan finds from different cultures.

It also means that there is little reason to put away your summer flea market or Target finds.

Enjoy a garden party with your friends inside with the same dinnerware that you used over the summer. Replace sea shells and crisp cottons with a layered look of linens, branches and leaves from your backyard or a huge bouquet of red roses.

Combine your coral prints with warmer beiges and grays.

Bring one great floral rug into a minimal space for a grand statement.

Add texture to your sofa with a mix of damask and floral embellished throwpillows, cashmere and wool throws.
