Achieve a Sun-Baked Tuscan Look for Your Home
Perhaps you’ve seen a beautiful Tuscan home while traveling. Or perhaps you’ve seen something in a magazine or on TV that has captured your heart. Adding a touch of romantic Tuscan charm and beauty to your modern-day living space can be easier than you think. To get some design ideas or to see some window treatments up close, speak with a trained consultant at Altra Home Décor serving Phoenix today.
Color Selection Makes the Difference
The rustic Tuscan color palette is very earthy, unassuming hues reminiscent of a Tuscan hillside. These colors include pale terra cotta, earthy red, olive greens, yellow-gray, yellow-blue, and blue-apricot. Touches of these colors could be found in your sturdy furnishings, wrought-iron accessories such as candle sconces or light fixtures, painted tile, and textured wall finishes. Of course, adding terra cotta tiles and stone with mosaic inlay would add the perfect finishing touch.
Airy Window Treatments
Adding touches of these cheerful tones in decorative pillow and window treatment fabrics goes a long way. Today’s Hunter Douglas Design Studio™ Roman Shades do just that. With 320 timeless fabrics in an array of colors sourced from the finest mills around the world, this beautiful collection includes 73 coordinating decorative tapes and trims. In addition to manufacturing the Roman Shades to your specific sizes, Hunter Douglas also makes all of the textiles available to purchase by the yard for the ultimate in coordination for custom-made accessories.
Old-World Charm and Simplicity
Bring a touch of that old-world charm into your home through décor that looks refined, warm, and gently aged. Tuscan style is elegant but not excessive. A handful of decorative touches such as an ornamental light fixture or a rustic carved wall piece is all that is needed to dress a room. Wood furniture embellished with carved or painted designs deliverers the charm of Tuscany. If you don’t have the floor space for larger furniture but you do have the wall space, consider an elegant tapestry and leaded-glass door panels to add that old-world character.
Include Exterior Spaces
When you think of a Tuscan home, you immediately think about the outdoor living space. To mimic the look, decorate your porch or patio with comfortable seating infused with the earthy Tuscan color palette mentioned above. Even in your outdoor space, make sure to add accessories that pick up the nature around you. Consider creating a couple of intimate spaces including traditional Italian design elements, such as arches or iron railings. Remember, you don’t need to be perfect when transforming your home into a romantic Tuscan villa. Old-world charm is not precise. Get ready to relax amid your new surroundings. Enjoy!
