Decorate with Rustic Wood!

Rustic Wood - A Natural and Beautiful Design Element

Many people opt for smooth and refined wood when decorating their homes, and that’s a good choice. But consider adding rustic wood for an even more natural and woodsy feel that’s comforting, because it reminds us of the past. 

Rustic wood comes in many varieties, including maple, oak, aspen, pine and walnut. And it comes in many looks, such as boards recycled from American barns to logs, driftwood and tree stumps. 

Since rustic wood is all about the rough look, keep texture in mind when you select your other home furnishings. A rough texture like linen complements rustic wood, or use a smooth texture like silk as a contrast. Other home fashions that go well with rustic wood include textured flooring and items made from leather or silk.

Rustic wood looks fabulous with white or light beige as a neutral because the light, clean color brings out the beauty and grain of the wood. Effective accent colors include sage green and rusty red. 

Consider the following elements for adding rustic wood to your home: 
- Coffee tables, end tables, and dining tables
- Flooring
- Shutters
- A wall or sliding door taken from an old barn


More ideas for rustic wood elements are: 
- Fireplace mantels or surrounds
- Bookshelves
- Kitchen or bathroom cabinets
- Bed frames

If you like texture, nature and a warm, earthy look, decorating with rustic wood may be just the style for you!

Wreaths all year long

Wreaths Can Last All Year Long

Many of us think of wreaths as decorative elements only for the December holidays or for Thanksgiving, but the fact is that a decorative wreath – depending on its style – can add a beautiful touch to your home all year long. 

Wreaths that incorporate non-holiday elements, such as nuts, seeds, seashells, pine cones, citrus leaves, flowers and fruit can be displayed any time of the year. 

Wreaths are not just a visual design element. They can add a scrumptious aroma to your home too! For the holidays consider traditional fir and pine. For all year long, think bay leaves, sage, cinnamon, rosemary and chili peppers. 

Do you have an unusual space where you want to hang a wreath? Wreaths don’t have to be perfectly round. Sometimes they’re oval, square or rectangular, and that shape can add a unique decorative element to your home.

And wreaths can be hung just about everywhere, not just on a front door! This includes walls, windows, above fireplaces, even on a mirror in your powder room! Of course, hanging a wreath on the front door during the holidays is the perfect way to get your guests into the holiday spirit before they even come into your house! 

Add a beautiful wreath to your home this season – for now and into the coming year. Please contact us for more ideas or for help with your next design project. 

Decorating with Clocks

Clocks are also beautiful and appealing in a home office, bedroom, living room, dining room and home office. 

Choose a clock with chimes and you’ll not only get a visual design but an auditory addition to your home. And a pendulum on a clock can add motion to your décor. 

Every minute counts. Add a clock to your décor before more time slips away. Please contact us for more ideas or for help with your next design project.

The Color Chocolate

Chocolate is a bold and luscious interior design choice.

And chocolate can remind you of one of your favorite treats! Just like edible chocolate, which we mix with everything from Rice Krispies to raspberries to hazelnuts to make it even tastier, decorative chocolate can be combined with a myriad of colors to enhance its beauty and flavor! - Together with pastels, such as baby blue, light pink or butter yellow - Layered with several lighter neutrals, such as cream, taupe, tan and beige - Paired with snowy white - Integrated with earth tones, like gold, apricot and sage green - Combined with bold colors, such as tangerine, acid green or tomato red Like most dark colors, chocolate works best as an accent color rather than as the predominant color in a room. And it’s important to surround large areas of chocolate with light colors to ensure a room doesn’t appear too dark and closed. Consider these design elements for a touch of chocolate in your house: - A painted accent wall - Lacquer surfaces, such as table tops and furniture - Rugs and carpeting - Hardwood floors - Fabrics for upholstery, draperies and headboards - Table, bed and bath linens - Leather or suede for wall coverings, furniture or table tops - Tile, backsplashes and countertops in kitchen and bath Think chocolate for decorating this year.              Try pairing chocolate with turquoise and white.                                           STORE HOURS Monday through Friday  10am-4pm We are happy to assist you at any other time, including evenings and weekends...

Add an Exotic Decor Element

You'll seldom see your hand-crafted exotic item in someone else's house! An exotic element adds to the individuality of your home, especially if you brought the piece back from a special trip. Most people consider the following as exotic elements to add to their home décor: - Indian or East Asian fabrics - Moroccan or Indonesian end tables and lanterns - Latin American dining tables - Japanese ceramic stools - Polynesian sculptures - African masks and wall art - Asian stone sculptures - Exotic woods with dramatic grains and textures - Carpets and artifacts from the Southwest U.S. - Tiles from almost any country - Rugs from Turkey, Kashmir, Iran and so many other countries - Even tropical plants and flowers Even in minimalist décor, one or two touches of the exotic can stand out; actually they’ll stand out even more than in a cluttered room. And even if the pieces are exotic and special, they can be in neutral colors that keep the zen feeling going strong. Personalize your decor with an exotic element or two this year. It’s a conversation starter that will add energy to your home.  Interior Motives and more... 11179 Dundee Road Huntley, Illinois 60142 847-669-3941 www.interiormotiveshuntley.com
