Horizontal fabric shades a good autumn addition

There are many distinct differences between summer and fall. In addition to the temperature cooling off and the leaves changing color, The Kansas City Star reports that homeowners should consider changing the atmosphere in their house as well.

According to the news source, interior decorators say there are several new trends for the upcoming season. One such area to consider is adding some new color to a room. Expert Phil Tracy recommends using bright colors such as deep red and purple, because they can complement the darker hues usually associated with autumn.

"It's again, bright colors, not just purple blue or red," Tracey told the news provider. "But pop art happy is more those vibrant yellows and reds."

Along with brighter colors, the news outlet reports that Tracy suggests using any retro elements. Items that harken back to the 50s, 60s or 70s are all good ideas, Tracy says, such as metallic mosaic serving trays or a floral plate.

Those looking to add a new design element to their home for the fall may want to consider installing horizontal fabric shades. Along with offering a clean, elegant look they can effectively block sunlight.
