A Fall/ Winter Makeover For Your Home

30 Aug

Autumn is officially here and its time to make way for cool, breezy evenings and the changing gradients of yellow and brown. Give in to the charm of autumn and go shopping for your home this season. I’ve been browsing a lot of catalogs and here are some of my favorite looks:

Canopy beds:
There’s something irresistibly cosy about these canopy beds- Drape sheer curtains along the sides or be creative with beads and patchwork fabric panels to create an exotic ambience. Cant wait to get one for myself!

Crazy Cushions:
Go wacky with quirky prints and colors on cushions this season: Take a cue from H&M’s awesome fall winter collection 2011.

Neon striped cushions: H&M

Printed cushions: H&M

Vintage furniture and accessories:
Think Grandfather Clocks, Gramophones, vintage candle stands or simply the big grandpa armchair. Vintage accents are super hot this season.

Autumn hues:
Drench your home in Autumn’s rich colors: Aubergine, mahogany, ochre and deep, romantic blues. White is the staple this season so keep that in mind while dressing up your living room.

Choose from these 7 must-have dresses this Fall and amplify your style statement!

1) Amazing Lace: 
You’re thinking raunchy- but lacy dresses can be non-provocative too! I’m loving the Lace and zipper dresses from Topshop and H&M.
