Seasonal Switches

Times change and your bedroom needs to keep up. Swap out color accents to accommodate the seasons

You may hate to admit it, but it's true - summer is on its way out.

With those unavoidable seasonal changes come necessary home décor adjustments, but they don't have to be major alterations if you plan ahead.

Karen Blissenbach, member of ASID and principal designer for Rochester, Minn.-based Design Studio B, says, "You have to have a master plan."

Flexibility to change depends on how much money you're willing to invest, she adds. But, if you're not looking to spend a lot, your options are by no means limited. Here are a few tips to get you thinking about seasonal switch-ups that will give your bedroom a more appealing air.

Back It Up

"It would all start with what your background palette is," says Blissenbach. "Start with a strong, neutral background - and I'm not talking about white. When I say strong background, I mean a very toned shade of taupe or cream."

Also, to keep costs down, Laura Kimball, of Perry Hall, Md.-based LCK Interiors, suggests building around a solid color accent wall behind the headboard or one small area of wallpaper. "If crown molding can be added and painted with a clean, crisp white, it makes any other color in the room pop," says the ASID designer.

Look Down

"Depending on the flooring, if you have a situation where you can use an area rug, it can make a significant change from season to season," says Blissenbach. Whether that means solid-colored, bold and bright or patterned, using an area rug will draw your eye down and expand your view of the room as a whole.

Welcome the Light

While Kimball suggests that you consider your privacy in picking window treatments, some window décor can be easy to switch out or add to if you want to include another color.

"If you have a situation where there are permanent shades, maybe in the winter months, add drapes; and in the summer and spring months, go with sheer," Blissenbach suggests.

"With seasonal changes," reminds Kimball, "you don't want to switch out things that are heavy and need to be stored."

That's why small color accents like pillows and picture frames will save you time and energy when the next change in season comes around.
