A Place to Call Home: Indiana in the Fall




I am so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.  ---Ann of Green Gables


There is something about the fall season, here in the state of Indiana, that puts a spell on you.  The kaleidoscope of color as you peer out the window is truly breathtaking.  There is something about the unexpected rain showers and the way rain drops add vibrancy to the leaves.  The crisp smells of wood and leaves burning, crackling, and crunching.  Its as if it is natures statement---a bold & colorful finale for the year.

And with that said, inspirational palettes come about from the season to drive design inside and outside of the home. The fall season introduces palettes of soft neutrals---pale greens, grays, browns and creams to bold reds, oranges, yellows, and purples.  It is an intriguing palette we seek to add to our homes this time of year.  As it offers a sense of coziness, an inviting attribute, and sophistication.

In spirit of the season, I stumbled upon an article that gives some great tips on how to fulfill fall design style for the exterior of the home.  And while it is specific for such, they present as great ideas to also bring inside the home.  Please find the link below:

Roses are Red-- Violets are Blue-- What Front Door Color Screams You?

Let’s face it---we are all a little exhausted of this wintry weather and extreme cold and ready to move on to bigger, bolder, BRIGHTER things.  Our houses at this time are feeling rather small, drab and even blah.  But with spring right around the corner surely you have had plenty of time to think about how to spice things up.

Spring is the time to make change---give your home a facelift.  First things first, why not tackle the front door.  Doing so will even land you out of the house and soaking up the sun and milder temperatures.

The front door serves as a focal point to the exterior façade of your home---it is where people begin developing their first impressions of what is to come.  The front door serves as the passage and egress with which energy, prosperity, and opportunities begin and also end.  With that said what color screams you?

Cultures all over the world associate meanings with various colors.  Have a look:

Blue



Blue is believed to bring serenity, tranquility, positive liveliness, and abundance.

Yellow



Yellow is associated with mental clarity, perception, understanding, wisdom, confidence, curiosity, humor and high spirits.

Green



Green represents balance, serenity, empathy, growth, renewal and harmony.

Purple



Purple suggests power and offerings of opportunity.

Red



Red is a symbol of “welcoming”---opening up and sharing your home.


And lastly, if you aren't one to go bold you can always stick with the classic white front door.


White




White evokes purity, serenity and virtue.

Now what are you waiting for...be inspired :) With all of the color options and their symbolism you really cant go wrong.

Happy Home.  Happy Life.
