Home Help: Heighten your home's style this year Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jan. 12, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Jan. 12, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News TIP OF THE WEEK As the new year kicks off, it's the premier time to refresh and refocus on certain aspects of your life — and the home is no exception. Say goodbye to lackluster interiors as renowned interior designer and DIY television personality Taniya Nayak has forecasted the top trends for 2015 that will be sure to enhance and revive any home. Deep, rich hues: Be bold with shadowy and opulent tones; there are many ways to infuse a rich color scheme into your space. "Don't be intimidated by dark hues," says Nayak. “Incorporate shades from the same color family throughout a room with a coordinating accent wall, rug and decorative pieces, such as pillows and blankets. This creates a bold, yet harmonizing visual.” Gallery walls: Create a room that's uniquely yours by making a gallery wall with items of your choice. Display an array of mirrors, framed family photos, sketches or even postcards — the key is to be creative and be yourself! "Hanging a variety of frames or objects in a well thought-out cluster on the wall provides the perfect place to showcase pieces that are important and meaningful,” Nayak says. Copper: “Each year we see a particular metal rise to the top of every designer's list; and this year, it's all about copper,” Nayak says. Copper is a captivating metallic that adds a modern edge to even the simplest scheme. Small pieces make a big statement, so subtly pepper in copper pieces to your decor, like light fixtures, planters or table settings. Display copper cookware in your kitchen: It's a great way to add a touch of glamour without being gaudy. — Brandpoint HOME-SELLING TIP Great greens: When you’re trying to sell your home, don’t underestimate the importance of landscaping. Don’t expect buyers to look past weeds, patchy grass, overgrown shrubbery or sparse greenery while checking out your home. You don’t have to bring in a professional: an afternoon spent outside planting new trees or flowers, adding fresh mulch or pulling weeds can make a big difference in your home’s curb appeal. — More Content Now DECORATING TIP Bold beauty: Although neutrals provide a calm palette, it’s possible to infuse bold statements into these rooms, as well, with the use of patterns. Revitalize your room with a geometric rug in an earth tone, and also add window treatments with a daring floral design in a complementary, yet understated, color. When mixing prints, pair structured, linear patterns with organic ones for a look that's polished, and not too “matchy.” — Brandpoint GARDEN GUIDE Mulch away: One of the best things you can do to protect your perennial plants from the cold, harsh winter temperatures. Apply mulch — comprised of pine needles, leaves and shredded bark — around each plant in 3- or 4-inch layers, and make sure trunks and stems have room to breathe. — More Content Now MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jan. 12, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Comment or view comments Reader Reaction » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
