The star of this table is a stunning arrangement of late-blooming flowers mixed with bold red-orange leaves. Small gourds and pumpkins are also randomly placed around the table, creating a laid-back vibe perfect for fall entertaining. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib1INHRmqAdII1XrTZkPCxhBytwOtDJ6r5H3m0wAS0OcbTKfcdrpAliYAZHgYe3Lm9JR5JTwnT5GJpMPvSBDSr39pOuuPBayllzvWj2-kiXYD7s7P4dZ5JrjdiAu4WyDxqJQgZkZCxYRk/s640/2013-Easy-Fall-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-from-BHG-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Display freshly fallen leaves. Position single leaves, either pressed or fresh, in small glass vases, and place them on various surfaces around the house. (We used old lab beakers look for them at antiques stores.) The best thing about this sweet and simple display is that when the leaves start to crumble and brown, you can easily replace them.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: yellow;"><b> DIY Tip:</b></span> To press leaves, place them between layers of newspaper and under a heavy stack of books. Let the leaves dry for a couple of days. Then, to enhance their color, iron the leaves between pieces of waxed paper, using a pressing cloth to keep wax off the iron. Pressed leaves also can be purchased at local crafts stores. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcDSNxUr1LNqzU98iQ_Zq-cnFco6QWWG0Zvz5w_3ngCS8533kxbX7nsVEUJ5rqC52AD47GKTTWurCCdepLL-wozod4Zvcm3yXENPFa-eSNiuRZDZoRHs-_zxWh5hzTU6dtI-808yCwsEA/s640/2013-Easy-Fall-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-from-BHG-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Candles are the perfect way to create a soft glow that warms up a cool autumn evening. Hot-glue Indian corn to the outside of a pillar candle for a colorful accent. As you burn the candle, make sure the flame doesn't get too close to the corn. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFzIJoLrIDNw2n_CSEJ6SyviAJ9V8JhP6GU4pW11VN2fz_fIMjD8QJcAjQoU31DSP2hiMlTTWkC3JHJP8ZD0LwLC_sxLumUKt92Z8XXyhg13M3PaldMca2y_IkxOZAAtzJzhvz6xssJDw/s640/2013-Easy-Fall-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-from-BHG-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Artfully arrange fall items on a bookshelf or in an open cabinet. Put platters on their sides, fill vases with colorful flowers, and pile bowls with mini gourds to create a diverse display. Try heaping small items, such as acorns, bright berries, and sweet gum seedpods, into glass bowls. Adhere a dried fern frond to a platter with spray adhesive to embellish a simple plate. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCQCb4KBGWTNuYUiEA_fJ6n7GWJIez3kR0uBQKWs8OMTwpC_MBK0VaCJgKGa0Ow6qLJHkO0TvgIh2f_wRY6lr-2EC3mvLLTkk-u4ilqdk9dqN32H_z0tTIBFJkuD9HKS2ICVUlSoaoaJs/s640/2013-Easy-Fall-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-from-BHG-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Dress up your furniture with cozy items in seasonal colors. Here, a wicker chair is draped with a warm orange throw, and a maple leaf pillow sits comfortably on top. Perk up a plain pillow by enlarging a leaf using a copier to make a pattern. Cut the pattern out of wool felt and attach it to the pillow cover using iron-on fusible backing. Blanket-stitch around the edges. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvr81otgTwr91xA_cn-WB-9G5KzHCJlO9dY1FECfbpAWtYq04AjRgtNaOPUGfL0XUn8jwEXYbmgbFAeR3bOLOD9vNlmNd3l3xCTAdngYN_cAgwJ_vxIYke9GS61qIuHwHkl9tYU7aAeNA/s640/2013-Easy-Fall-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-from-BHG-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Fresh apples are a stylish and seasonal way to anchor tablecloths and napkins. Simply use an awl to pierce a channel through two apples, and thread twine through the bottom of one and the top of the other. Leave enough twine to hang over the edge of the table 6-8 inches. Tie a twig at each end to keep the apples from sliding off. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkqgxiRNwl8NlJzmeKr0xjWuVLd8pvcGVCdvao61-39B7ewomEJD4rGVKP6JL6_tu5GVTiGtkNSsezt-t2P0uMQlB5V61eu7TfrNN3e_aHlLvOq50SWiwJe0Pq7d8dTWfbN3xcLC6K0H4/s640/2013-Easy-Fall-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-from-BHG-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Greet your guests with a "welcome" pumpkin. Use paint to write your message on a pumpkin, and set it near the entrance to your home. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV-YIqrV-PgJkVs0e9qguSvE1euW_swSxwlt6VBOI2ThufqgRFAR-DDoivmpa2tjLiABNGdMzaPGB1IYXBr0-JCDAxh-kKErjICPPHOxSSPYhfbG7fCsL7xva9g6mjN-xIHB0Nm8yISdg/s640/2013-Easy-Fall-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-from-BHG-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Take a display of mini pumpkin gourds to the next level by adding height. Bowls, cake plates, and candlesticks are perfect for creating an interesting display. Paint the pumpkins metallic silver for a dramatic effect. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7eeoeQTc0nmZ5XCPo6AVH6GcL55EaaL1LqX3SDVkfDS6mZN-7Z7Ak9Ia5tZzbAL0rmRUYoEk__A7dtz0Dn5nc96pp6f-GgxKC8Pkk_sU8Yz5LRmx18WgrdZ9vQ-I2P09IhYm5seBd5Kk/s640/2013-Easy-Fall-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-from-BHG-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Easily transform an ordinary table runner into playful fall decor using nothing more than felt and hot glue. Purchase felt in autumn-inspired colors from your local crafts store. Trace different sizes of leaves and twigs onto the felt, cut them out, and place the pieces in a pleasing pattern onto the table runner. Adhere the twigs onto the surface first using a hot glue gun to ensure correct placement of the leaves. Then glue down each leaf onto the top of one of the tiny twigs. The result is a festive table runner perfectly suited to fall entertaining. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhARldjITsD5u5kdrmHmKnqktI5glQGvMWHh9TpgtrhOp-BmMomJEoTnbIeG1CkPzIZ1v1la-rPPfir7fAHswVnTDjwb6tyVvvN0ylc6rqktUBkxrGJGXwsf38dVBNGWNUS-mQWcjYsBag/s640/2013-Easy-Fall-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-from-BHG-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Even the simplest of objects, when displayed on a larger scale, can have a stunning affect. Here, a tall cylindrical vase is filled to the top with basic white pumpkins and is perched atop a dining room buffet for an eye-catching display. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS0N_8iEWq5CNDRgdxkZpQAGKtAds50Cdgu7iinbOBRVbaWe66Akyz0Ic_M1IBXt4QOjfQiYFodQO6eg7Z72_F7JI_T8PMTIakztMFWNPyma9HeX4yQ73ng_MU57DwR0xAz-xfOy-ankE/s640/2013-Easy-Fall-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-from-BHG-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Bring a touch of the great outdoors inside with this adorable acorn pillow. Simply purchase a solid-color pillow in the fabric and color of your choice and a large acorn iron-on. Place the acorn in the center of the pillow, follow the directions included with the iron on transfer, and you have a festive and fun throw pillow that blends perfectly with other fall decor. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQkv-wi6O5YvjpewCmwkd50Q7kurdlMO6lI2A4ZTnbHxcCwVuf3H87ClODtH6lATMbVozUeIekwNj5dE_8BL_wCPusqXMd5PaQ8QNTQfrh48lUTT6RL-mLvPP3ChGerGrVwOl0FMPQwP8/s640/2013-Easy-Fall-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-from-BHG-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Festive tablescapes set the scene for fall entertaining. Give your typical tableaux a twist by incorporating a non-fall color. Here, the bright sky blue plate breaks up the rich reds and vibrant oranges typically used in fall decorating. Try pairing plum or bordeaux hues with golden yellows or sage or olive greens with chocolate browns. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDcxgzi5DKO07iStkgqYNqRTJNTP16xgvBSjEhl4lZIm-k9RkJA9IJymZ9PPrMcPqMtnxUsay5ljWJJb5tvYKRM1q7W4vUMhfs689U-MpSnG2u7JEuR3y8RUbtGzp-4Mtjkjzy7AiFD_s/s640/2013-Easy-Fall-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-from-BHG-13.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Transform your everyday bookshelf into an autumnal display with a few simple tweaks. First, to create a consistent and graphic look, cover books with festive paper we love these tree and floral-inspired prints. Then incorporate natural elements and accessories in fall hues. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji7y8jmOHhT1j6RGki5-cwJmco5kc722SLuyxkM2QZwTVoZI48dyS6rSr2pNC947xYLx4_a9FyUppwwdtKk4Jp_Xj5FRvFjBXuW_Y-VVidNh_bQJG1WSBFzk5V8W6re2T6FRTEy3nLmmM/s640/2013-Easy-Fall-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-from-BHG-14.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To create a simple and sweet fall centerpiece, look no further than your own backyard. To re-create this look, simply gather fallen twigs or snip a few off of a nearby tree and place them in an oversize wire basket. Amp up the arrangement by incorporating a few store bought branches decked out in faux fall berries. A large basket of apples and a random variety of gourds add texture and rich autumnal colors. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>

Its generous size provides a bonus by blocking light, creating a cozy, private retreat.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH2tZJLBr6l4SoFp3uNLou1zveMW5OstSmylwT18DYe4G7n5aKsJSZKPqG0VKcyoU6KhOG6AlphwxOtW-W6li5N08nq7vFRRZYXvrP2RvQknmR38wzKgvYQvNukEqYrig0LsrlJVXh/s640/Bedroom-Low-Cost-Updates-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Update Window Treatments</span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To set a mood, use draperies and classic swags for a formal look, curtains and shades for an informal look, and simple blinds for contemporary appeal. Consider lining room darkening or insulating that suits the treatment and your needs.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhySQXpwIValJrGp_X9_ZWkjnv7_FdNZxyepqeQRbLb-Zax6wAr2BviMIU9CFD-Di4AQlPC9K0LhAyhv5uOWJLmv6omjMYNCIu8UynONq-2BhTCQhOz0f1LfGValKc8VBuczLOylMfZ/s640/Bedroom-Low-Cost-Updates-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Bring In the Right Amount of Light</span> </b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">General overhead lighting is less important in bedrooms. Instead focus on bedside lamps and other sources of accent lighting to turn a bedroom into an inviting, comforting retreat. And the type of light is important, too--something as simple as replacing an old light bulb with a warm spectrum fluorescent might provide just the freshness your bedroom needs.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiYGo-3hlUzo1YtBkr4L66gcn9J92R3KGKmYVJnnLy2VpmHp9LQdQ4r9-OgRfeMb1OkdvGKzBWAKXnnmY0Rsfui3WqZvJ7ahKOimV7vqtOyDHaLATgq8oZXXWjIwpQQuqqqW1mRS7t/s640/Bedroom-Low-Cost-Updates-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> <span class="heading2">Try On Bold New Bed Linens</span> </b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Nothing looks and feels fresher than new bedding.

In this chic bedroom, drama is created through size and color.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The eye is immediately drawn to the hanging globe fixture. The large size creates instant drama. And the contrast between the rich chocolate-brown walls and white trim and bedspread is made extra striking when paired with a splash of lime green.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="680" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrGF7mUTA-A-Yi5WKaQjenjrdXYPmhWG2XJMaKERkJtguCLbxdxwwmSv9DOn0EZFR-86E2iF9Sn4mABY-_wxA-qzJwPsPLQdp-57bNi5lN2csbDnNwybngCRpCgbKSKJQPenbGnquw/s640/Bedroom-Low-Cost-Updates.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Paint the Ceiling</span> </b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's a quick and easy way to create a cozy feel in your bedroom: Paint the ceiling the same color as your walls. Without a visual break between ceiling and walls, the room feels smaller and more intimate.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here, robin's-egg blue creates a soothing backdrop for a serene, sophisticated retreat.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpCZVn-yq24RjZe1f6QYrZi721SRw5hGZGmL2U1CCSKu9FXc3jqY4ssRBs_12cMpwpSgoN1VZVrhUbbVFGERDX7fJuPIbGUQxF-Aa5upcXI7hRJOjNL8SE692pWLudUtcA7bHRiqsQ/s640/Bedroom-Low-Cost-Updates-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Add Architectural Detail</span> </b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Used in combination or alone, trim, molding, and wainscoting offer nearly endless design options. Depending on the style of the room, the effect may be casual or formal, rustic or defined, traditional or contemporary. But in every case, millwork surface treatments can add charm and texture to a room.</div><div style="text-align: center;">In what started as a cookie-cutter bedroom, classic flat-panel wainscoting adds structural appeal to a long expanse of wall. Combined with the light wall color, the effect is subtle yet satisfying.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHPmHDQuXKytAi-UJmeC5-ThcC0F3QsqQHE-Ho54PNie-ZHQGkuAFL_2L9jghJDT8RD0gTwkFCBgp4g6j7DWi-pNSV7FT_Y_JRSWyWEgHTbwHvKUvKnvQ45UmeU7T2rK8xX6_qQXCL/s640/Bedroom-Low-Cost-Updates-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Mix and Match Furnishings</span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A perfectly matched bedroom the dresser goes with the bed and the corresponding nightstand, and bedding from the same collection--can become stale if the look is too uniform.

Whether you gravitate toward crisp stripes, bold florals, or classic toile, pattern can be used to liven up a space.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Add a dash of pattern to an otherwise patternless room by draping a quilt or duvet across the foot of the bed, as shown here. A bold, geometric pattern creates an instant focal point in the black-and-white room.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGkV4j0c74FaiLLzL6lf3T05V59mxeHCxBJNOlPKzXHC1f-dDkcknU8D_i8h0zU5u11NZPFU0xRN6drGvkTf-Pf8stQG5mE3fTBrpymfLxx6IBRg3xwB4AliR9Fr6FpPfTwcsTYyPU/s640/Bedroom-Low-Cost-Updates-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Update Closet Doors</span> </b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In many bedrooms, closet doors take up a significant amount of wall space. Why not replace the bulky, utilitarian sliding doors with something you'll enjoy waking up to every day?</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here, sliding closet doors were replaced with chic French doors. Mirrored panels hide closet clutter and give the room more visual space.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh64xnOe3aqCfbcLztAVIE3yqKQ-hiuK6i5Ng0x-4xJIhyphenhyphenjOfBezAUQl4ghI8Ags2VmvTgXvdvzP0XQXOjwnLoyusy1wha2NDwy-jzq68AMygJFw5-8gp7fd7NymaxWM0qwm76da_3m/s640/Bedroom-Low-Cost-Updates-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Add Wallpaper to a Select Spot</span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Try paneling a single wall or one section of a wall with a favorite wallpaper.

Fresh Decorating Update Ideas for Summer 2013

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Bring the colors and feel of summertime into your home with our best tips and tricks everything from rearranging furniture to the smells of the season. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGqgvOiuM9WxobKDNMoFGhFtP1YyybPkRVFrrl42lmpj7nyYuUKZxU_lcCqBtZt6un1QOnXvecgwEmDgXqiliXFZ32iESMyb0-C-mzt-2b65fv1_yMMYpYSUyP1kI67wkBUUYFKO_Xy3k/s640/Fresh-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Pare Down </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Think of your home as a summer rental, and you'll see it in a whole new light. Throw open the doors and windows, pull back the curtains, and get rid of pieces that are dark, gloomy, or fussy. Stow away heavy accessories, throws, and any unnecessary small decor items until it's time to cozy up again for fall.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy2VweymiGDuYkdj_bFZZTBHgASuip6xW4Di57IxDB8TooBpfIbqVaZUBFXEr_kTdV7HANKj8p3Q815CWV8VQj0BUYzaURUz0fQrkoN1kGIMORxUHo6fOZCvAtYg7NnQBsiqLZ38IdQJk/s640/Fresh-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Set a Colorful Table </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Consider buying a set of accent dishes to add a splash of summertime color and pattern to your next dinner party. Mix bright floral, tropical, or nautical theme dishes with your everyday plates and bowls. To ramp up the summertime look even more, clear a small table to create an impromptu bar and arrange bottles and glassware on a pretty serving tray. Fun elements such as stir sticks and paper umbrellas create a look that is perfectly seasonal.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="532" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1GIj2P75qMFUA0BufjV55r7S-o7ulB21o-LtmS12dUCu4rcgALDmM3a2ScVPM5jns_vRLdeE8t3ynBR2fKB1el1l2beujZ8Gm0_fPwu8Bm332vd6h7sy00OU79DzoXK-8qaVdSgq9dRk/s640/Fresh-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Front & Center </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">With warm weather and a few extra hours of sunlight, the summer months are the perfect time to eat on your front porch or picnic in your yard. Eating outdoors will ensure you and your family take advantage of everything summer has to offer.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcIhJkRYkJT4YPygEBpFrq2-4eaWg97lDZBv5XG_Ir1shOcGQPJVJCx4V2VeeFRN4im9htGChxIb1EtijmgkQfRPVsJqFjs3RILJnikovTWo4gxJ5BwDXmQtbKAdPg6xXqjf9Rw-c7kLw/s640/Fresh-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>A New View </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">While a fireplace is a great focal point during any other time of year, consider rearranging your furniture away from that space during the summer. Rather than huddling around the hearth, shift the focus of the room toward a beautiful window or French doors. Stow away heavy draperies and hang gossamer sheers that flow with the breezes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR4R-BbQ04q4qytO7OEHGctO2DGMmyDhGJL5W7bJwefbVce_EOu23BEe4Eq3SZVyA6CWn58vHQFd9jUYT5OOAM_GbfbNKOYrnfJ9rSXBVhRndr1rLYFJaM2iBDSCAPjrToS7gthT8HDOk/s640/Fresh-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>All Summer Long </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Summer is as much a state of mind as it is a season, so transform your spaces to embrace all the benefits it has to offer. Include a large umbrella for extra shade. String paper lanterns on tree branches around an outdoor patio to allow gatherings to last well into the night hours. Or, should the weather turn stormy, cozy up by lamplight on a covered porch. Since pleasant summer days sometimes fall few and far between, you'll want to take full advantage of the time you have to spend outside, rain or shine.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmdgI13xPwHYSJtMn6wEiuORhsXjGG-hV4C5W2GI0-1nANsggyfAzUilJgmTp0Tv_6QiBib-VJj1xq-3Ynywq_On830fZDRGAjS1EWDxrkI3k6BWi8bPyfm5T6YyJ56N39YnDnwGozlWw/s640/Fresh-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Update Old Furniture </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Give a tired chair or side table new life using high-gloss spray paint in a summery hue, such as sky blue or grassy green. The glossy paint creates a fun lacquered look and gives an old piece a fresh and modern edge. Make sure to properly prime the furniture so the paint better adheres to the surface and will wear longer.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWgkjzL5YXE1lBVsRuzADVRPQMpXeJiFMZkbQqIIhwBTdCL1AhQnUJ5OR2HCS5Q6bL-JoqN2MgqgRLS_QxIEPg1kJdw6pQXrU9EUhqz3cKxwpnVjmsYSnmWhUo6n55YdXgPOuc74Girwc/s640/Fresh-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Art Swap </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Brighten dark walls with colorful art pieces.

A large piece or a collection of smaller pieces also provides the perfect blank-wall solution for large, open rooms.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq_IAiPqiOcpRLi_-fJ4mnwboWuBzsKlirpeTlfT5hESyQTS9b8b9uVXBovWwAk9dN9R01vwTtpK5jzgdnkKsyyPG4MWriR0YWNFiOJm9Nb6DwvDgz9dV6_0S_sB6R25_5O6JO44pa5_0/s640/Fresh-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Natural Living </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">To add organic appeal, consider planting succulents in an oversize shell. The tiny plants last for a long time and require little care, making them the perfect addition to a summery tablescape. The combination of natural elements also adds texture and character to this chic end table display.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmfIg8kSJAbgPMHroGoP9nbJ36QJmP7eerWoaFk7Ff6dxoVtpiQLM_fOl1nQKgx2LcNi-IyrfTB6I4T2hh93BiokT7OLvQAuWzpegNu14qyqMvcwzuzsnQ0GHjV2f0QsZws0arFKPariI/s640/Fresh-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Fun Fabrics </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Bright prints on bedding, for example, instantly lift a room's mood  and yours. To allow the motif to truly shine, keep the wall color neutral and other accessories to a minimum.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtzjvNW_mXRMpMQAEXzR0n-lI1KXPziWp2a4SD8HFBS0PZrg7CDP7PyuB1tx1cymmiltdxikNdRJto78w3jyL6N2UE3vvqHzp6VGCrsBZ0PWZs31ac27ndX5PL1I4_xCDtJ8PhkjNO7_w/s640/Fresh-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Garden Fresh </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Interject bright summery colors into your home with freshly picked flowers. To make the biggest impact, stick to arrangements featuring warm colors, such as bold oranges, radiant yellows, or vibrant pinks, and save rich reds and deep purples for other seasons. Small clusters of bright color look cheery and create an undeniable summertime vibe.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4lukDBwJeOcKohlM0v1Kl-2jVKIm9vWy-RwiSob-c0U_9k_6gzdGoZRWeP4rfyaDlGHCoXZGhBwc3YA3xNeHFn9KmktD3UffZ33l5DrN_frhddCtdCeJm-X-_EvoFfN8oyvAk1vJED8Y/s640/Fresh-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Party Starter </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Welcome summer by entertaining outdoors. Low tables, floor pillows, and strands of clear fiesta lights will surely put everyone in a merry mood. Winning combos of bright colors, such as turquoise, red, and white, create a festive atmosphere and will keep everyone in a party state of mind.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizomUXdYGmqo76Zf_wJrK3Nae7T4V3nXEPmCLE3X0vL_DgrXWUUUwwuYSHXIzya5SNECeYLYvL0fdGf1xnuunGbwLBLXasGnLU9J-oOgLZTQGXjd9zXB1xWpzIVi5kHDts_oR1NAKWofU/s640/Fresh-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Summery Scents </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">To keep the seasonal aesthetic constant in your home, make sure you switch out scents as the seasons change. Gingerbread and evergreen are great scents for winter months, but many people crave fresh smells during the summer, such as ocean breeze or cucumber melon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoubm1hzYkSC3relFZ4nOznDygzSqPbgEAbjt4UwEE65rQb8uXZ9tK69pukVE30qS3nHVZlmgbsuBekfuY9_La3VT2m-kFduIsvDRSE9aaeGX4toNaYdlE44mAWm9UQrQDUcaZcmPflvw/s640/Fresh-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-13.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Going Casual </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Summer weather offers the perfect time to find unexpected uses for formal serving pieces.
