4 Interior Design Trends For Fall

 

Swap The Fabric

Swapping out fabrics on furniture and pillows is a great way to bring fall into your home. Swap out the bright summer colors for colors like pumpkin, brown, cream, and light gray.

How To Get Your Home Ready For The Holidays.

Summer is officially over and it’s that time of year again where we have to start thinking about the holiday season. We decided to help you out this year with some ideas to help you get ready for the holiday season.

Refresh the Bathrooms

Buying new towels, bathroom essentials and scents is the best place to make a positive impression on your future guests.

Add Festive Touches

Adding a few themed trinkets and accessories is a great way to stay current with the holidays without over doing it while also maintaining a budget.

Add Jacket Hooks

The cold season is quickly approaching and where there is cold weather there are jackets and you’re going to need a place to put them. Having jacket hooks installed is a great way to handle the problem in a creative and fun way.

Seasonal Fragrances

Take advantage of the seasonal fragrances available during the holidays to create a festive and inviting atmosphere while changing up the routine.

Make Room For More

During the holiday season you’re going to have more people coming to your home so pulling out extra seating arrangements is a must.

Give Something Small

Creating little gift baskets filled with small items to give your guests is a good holiday gesture and will remind them of the amazing time they spent with you this year.

Summer Of Giving At The Houston Design Center

Every year the Houston design center has the Design Sample Sale where designer furniture showrooms liquidate floor samples and extra furniture peaces and accessories to get ready for the new season.  The designer sample sale has always been an amazing opportunity for the general public to come by and pick up some amazing deals on designer furniture while enjoying a little entertainment at the same time.

This year might have been the most successful year for the showrooms at The Houston Design Center. Showrooms not only reduced their prices to the general public but also donated significant amounts of furniture to the Furniture Bank. So much was donated that the Furniture Bank will be returning next week for more furniture donations!

With furniture peaces at half of whole sale prices young audiences were able to pick up their first designer furniture peaces. We heart very touching stories of families suffering from a recent home fire who were able to get new furniture peaces and make there house a home again.

Many fabrics were also donated to local quilters, school teachers and design students.  Some were making table place mats and runners!  Two of the most unexpected uses though were a child whose grandmother was going to help her make doll clothes, and teachers of the blind who were searching for textured fabrics that they could cut into shapes that the blind students could feel to understand the shape of objects or symbols.

The designer Sample Sale was truly an amazing success this year and we are incredibly touched by some of the amazing stories that came from the event. We do the Designer Sample Sale every single year and we cant wait to have the event again in 2017.
