Winter's Colors



Winter's Colors at Details of Design in Annapolis







As we are in the midst of the Ho Ho Ho, Happy Holiday Season, I just love the “Snowflake” subtleties that inspired the designers, Megan, SeDell and Leeann, this month on the Vignette.
The carved whitewashed wooden panels set the winters theme with their geometric nod to the snowflake. The whole color scheme is from a winter’s day when the first dusting of fresh fallen snow just coats the trees and ground. The taupe, charcoal, creams and whites are very soothing and make for a very relaxing space. Keep these colors in mind for your living spaces, you’ll never grow tired of them.





I can envision the start of a great family room from the suggestions in this vignette. The plaid rug comes in larger sizes, and is very easy care since it is a low level wool weave. In fact, it is very affordable as well, in an 8X10 it is only $1,060. A sectional in a solid taupe texture would be nice with 2 of the accent chairs that could be pulled up into a larger grouping at a moments notice. The chairs are very easy to move about. Maybe add a large upholstered chair facing the TV in a charcoal colored leather. Then just fill in with the Mercury Glass Lamps at $240 each. The sparkle that they add to a room is a very special accent. For your Cocktail Table, Console and end tables take it from the designers and use a mix of Driftwood, lighter wood tones and metal for a more interesting effect. The whole vignette is a winning combination! 




We have a lot of winter to go as we are just coming up to the Winter’s Solstice. It’s a good time of year to take a look around and take inventory of the furnishings in your home that have to be replaced. Please think of us at “Details of Design” to aid in your search for the perfect piece or pieces to complete your projects. Just drop in the store anytime and bring a few photos to show SeDell what you are up to and she can definitely help you with the perfect new rug, sofa, or accessories for the mantle. We have many regular clients come back over and over, that we have been helping for many years. In fact, this February we will have been in business for 26 years! Time flies when you are having fun!

Keep in touch, and Happy Holidays!
