underfoot while adding pattern and colour. Choosing a rug is like choosing a piece of art upon which you can walk — think about form, style and colour and consider how your tufted lovely will contribute to your home’s overall style.
If your scheme’s lighting is a little on the glaring side — and if your project room looks like a floodlit baseball field — than it’s definitely the season to ditch the dazzle and bask in the warm glow of mood lighting. In practice, this shouldn’t be too difficult. Hit the stores, for example, for pairs of table lamps (why buy one when two will give you SO much flexibility) and fit
a $20 dimmer to your overhead lighting so you can adjust mood at the flick of a switch. Candlelight, too, is warming, flattering and romantic — perfect for this season when combined with a great bottle of wine and a good snuggle at the end of the day.
So what are you waiting for? It’s
time to settle in to the approaching season. Follow
our simple counsel and before long, without fail, you’ll be cozily prepared for the perfect fall and winter. It really is as simple as that!
