Seasonal Home Décor Sydney - Northern Beaches Homes
Change the décor of your home to match the seasons! Seasonal decorating is easy to do with images, art, lighting and linens. Home decorating advice for Northern Beaches Homes.
Four seasons? Not sure about that. These days there’s probably about eight – and none of them run in order anymore! Despite this fact, more and more Aussies are running with the European introduced concept of changing the décor of your home with the seasons, albeit the dictionary definition of the seasons!
Autumn Home Décor Concepts
In the cooler months, we tend to live a little slower, cook hearty meals and spend more time at home. In the warmer months, people put more energy into life. We want our key environment, our home, to reflect the way we choose to live – which changes with the season.
“Autumn temperatures seem to inspire people to bring their focus indoors, as if they’re setting up to hibernate through winter,” says saltmotion Gallery Manager Sherrie Coleman. “Bringing warm colours into the home, rich in golds, pinks and deep oranges is commonly what people go with; essentially, our early morning sunrise images”.
Summer Home Décor Concepts
“Summer is all about high energy, thirst-quenching images, if you can image! We have a number of underwater images with the sun pouring in onto the sea life below, as well as other images of internal perspectives of various waves – you actually feel hydrated in their presence. Joel’s images are all really quite emotive”, Sherrie continues, referring to saltmotion’s photographer, Joel Coleman’s style.
And so the new seasonal home has arrived in Australia. Warm, comforting colours for the winter and cool, energetic, bright images for summer.
Remember, keep it easy. Adapting your home should be simple by just focusing on the key rooms in the house: the living area, bedroom and even the kitchen if you’re the over-achiever type.
Seasonal Home Décor Ideas
With just a few changes, you can make a huge difference in the way your home feels throughout the year. Here are some home decorating ideas for your Sydney, Northern Beaches residence:
- Install a dimmer switch on your lights (can be as little as $20 and installed yourself) and use in conjunction with candles in Winter.
- Pull the wooly rugs up for Summer and expose a bare floor for a clean and fresh look. Roll the rugs back out for a cosy Winter.
- Change your towels and linen to lighter colours in Summer, darker colours in Winter.
- Have two alternating focal pieces of art for the bedroom and living room that you can rotate. Vibrant images, such as one of our Limited Edition images “Shorey Squelch”, for Summer and then “Dawn” for Winter.
For many people, changing your home can be like a new lease of life. After a few years of this habit, you’ll feel like you’re welcoming old friends back into your home with each seasonal change and be filled the happy memories that go with them.
