Seasonal Changes for Living...

All of my living spaces are designed around a neutral color palette. The walls throughout my house are all cream, accented with white trim, a perfect background for displaying my favorite art. This type of decorating might be called "Gallery Style". The allure of this style is that it invites constant change rather than a static environment. So with that, I'd like to share with you examples of my living room in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, in different seasons to demonstrate what you can do!


Summer on the coast of Florida calls for a beachy blue.

                    

Fall In Northeast Florida is a transitional time of year. Think khaki, not gold. The earthy green and animal print palette is subtle.

Here's another example... late spring with saffron yellow accents, punctuating the all white wall and white skirted table.

Gallery display of art work allows for a few fresh faces every season. Challenge yourself! Invite change into your living spaces. Change out pillows and throws. Add new seasonal plants and flowers. Consider the mix of color, weight and texture of your accessories. Switch it up and keep it fresh!
