The earthy colors and natural materials are two bases for the “old world” style of decoration. To speak of an idea of ??the colors that we will take a walk outside and watch the beautiful colors around you, blue sky, the golden sun, even the chocolate brown of mud in the spring. Ok, so you do not look on the blue / green Mediterranean, but have you seen pictures of him, right? On this walk through the department of your local grocery store product walk and notice the deep purple eggplant, red peppers, yellow lemons, green olives. These are some colors that you would consider for your Tuscany decorating. Natural materials are wood (think rustic furniture solid type), tile (colorful ceramic wall accents) natural stone for floors and polished metals such as copper, tin or tin for accents.
You probably already have some influence in your Tuscan home. Iron scrollwork brackets, terra cotta planter (later), the illustrations of fruit theme, colorful ceramics, copper, tin, pewter items, tapestry wallpaper – what was old is new! Check your garage, attic or flea markets for some of these elements.
What could be easier than lining a sunny windowsill with some pretty terra cotta pots with Italian herbs (oregano, basil, sage, etc.)? Do you have a part of the old wrought iron railing that once adorned the porch? Bring it in, it’s clean and be creative. Maybe you could use a coat hanger pot in the kitchen or on the wall for a decorative accent in the family room. How about the trunk of the old leather? It can to a large table or a storage area. As the colored tiles essential to the Tuscan style, as your own mosaic masterpiece? Only a few broken pieces of ancient China, (safety glasses are worn), it applies to tile adhesive to a terra cotta pot, old vase or whatever you choose, you can have 24 hours to dry, grout it and wipe with a damp sponge.
If you redo your walls, a simple way to make these time-burnished stucco to look like Venetian plaster, which is simply drywall compound mixed with latex paint to use. First, paint the walls of the Tuscan color such as gold, cream or even a terra cotta red. Then pour the plaster on the wall of various thicknesses – let some show through the painted wall. Then you can do it with a sealer latex sealer if desired. Or want to check out wallpapers that imitate the appearance of this kind.
Remember, the idea of ??a warm, comfortable “lived” seek to create and you will get with these ideas and some of your own.
