RETAIL DETAILS CAN TRANSLATE TO YOUR HOME DECOR

I've shared many times before that you can translate store merchandising techniques to your home decor too. There are many strategies for unifying a space and creating a pleasing cohesive style.  For this sale @ Buckeystown Design Co-Op, I focused on color and texture. Try grouping the treasures in your home with this in mind.  Let me know how it worked out.

I just restocked the European bread boards.  There are natural wood tones on the bread boards, beads, and tray. The woven planters add texture and repeat the raw wood color to unify the display.

I still have some blue and white botanicals in stock.  How wonderful are these weathered shutters flanking the prints!  They're from a Victorian home in Pennsylvania.  Blues and oranges complement each other.





Earth tones make this work.

EARTH TONES IN FOX COLLAGE AND CANDLESTICKS

Gold sprinkled in a space always ties it together.  There's lots of texture on the vintage mirror frames and on the wicker covered bottles too.

Natural materials make this work.  The spheres and beads add natural texture.  The roses surrounding the vintage plaster compote add texture and a nod to nature.

I repeated yellow in this grouping. Yellow appears on the chair seat and the book cover.  A yellow faux tortoise shell is propped next to the chair.  Above the shell are two prints with ochre tones.

Nature-related items in earth tones unify this space.

The vintage document boxes and the red bead garland repeat the black frame and
red poppies in the prints in the background.
