Inspirational Trends
While vacation and second
home purchases are increasing at record pace,
you can make your primary home feel like a year-round
vacation spot.
By changing the paint
color you can begin to transform any room in
your home, whether a bedroom
retreat or a bustling family room, into a vacation
memory. By simply incorporating hues representative
of your favorite getaway spot into your home’s
living spaces, you can extend your vacation from
a week or two to all year long!
Instructional Ideas
Integrate clear blues,
light pinks, sandy tans and pale yellows into
a bathroom, bedroom or
foyer area. Colors reminiscent of a seashore
holiday. Or, paint family or living room walls
the deep hues often found in a mountain retreat
such as rich raisin, deep plum or chocolate
brown. Place your favorite photos, seashells
or other collectables into the space to highlight
and continue your vacation theme.
For more fun, why not:
| 1. |
Pick
a colorful beach towel or surf board design
as your
inspiration for a wall mural in a child’s
bedroom or playroom, either directly over
the bed or on a feature wall. |
 |
| 2. |
Use stencils
to create a border of seashells and seahorses
in a bath to reinforce your beach theme. |
 |
| 3. |
Create a sailboat-like
retreat by incorporating soothing white and
crisp blue hues in your bedroom. |
 |
| 4. |
Pick a deep-tone
paint hue for one wall within your den, living
or family room and decorate with pictures
from your mountain vacation. |
