Turquoise is a fantastic color for interiors. It ranges in colors and tones so it can be paired with a myriad of different colors and metals. While turquoise makes a great accent color, we especially love interior spaces with turquoise walls. Kitchens, bathrooms, dining rooms, living rooms and bedrooms all look fantastic with turquoise walls. Turquoise walls can work in any room in your home. It all comes down to choosing the right color turquoise for your style. Check out these interior spaces with turquoise walls and be inspired!

When it comes to the holiday season, seasonal home accessories swap in and out of home decor faster than you can bat your eyes. This can make it difficult to stay on target, especially when one week you’re seeing Halloween and the next week that same store is full of Christmas decor. Despite the quick wardrobe changes in the store, fall is still here and is just getting into full swing, so it’s not too late to find these five must-have fall home accessories and decor items. Natural Pumpkins Natural pumpkins refers to pumpkin shapes that have been created using woven vines, grasses or other natural materials. It does not refer to actual pumpkins (though those never go out of style, either). Keep in mind that since this is a trendy item currently, it can be relatively expensive. Small woven pumpkins can cost you up to you $20 and larger pumpkins can break into the $100 or more range.

Native New York Interior Designer Frances Herrera founded Interiors by Francesca, LLC in 2002, following her background as a graduate of the Fashion Institue of Technology. Looking through Herrara’s portfolios, it’s clear that her design principles of “affordable luxury” and “understated sophistication” are at the forefront of her designs. It’s not hard to believe that this Forest Hills apartment was a complete renovation considering Herrera’s impeccable taste. Following her client’s wishes, this pre-war apartment’s cracked walls and dated rooms became the classic and timeless space we see today.

Pops of fuchsia add a feminine charm to the apartment's overall gray and creme palette.

Patterns In some subdivisions of the cottage home decor style, you may find a lot of mixing and matching with patterns. This is especially true in the bedroom, or living room, as it’s not unusual to mix different patterns on the pillows and upholstery, or on the bedding and pillows. When attempting to mix and match different patterns in the space, pick a single color and then choose two or three different patterns that use that same color. This allows you to maintain a cohesive look that even a professional interior designer may be envious of. Remember, cottage decor and shabby chic decor are two different things. Cottage is comfortable, cozy and somewhat traditional. Shabby chic is all about vintage, worn and well loved pieces. Though it’s easy to blur the lines between the two, it’s important to know the difference between these two styles of home decor.
