Thursday, June 17th, 2010Are you craving a new look for your home beyond the cold starkness of modern designs? Do you want a room where you can relax and put your feet up while surrounded by warm comfort? Do you desire a room filled with casual, but elegant accents? If this sounds like you, bring comfortable old world style to your home with Tuscan decor.
The Tuscan style represents the ease and grace of the Italian countryside sprinkled with European elegance. Think of warmed weathered walls and floors of beautiful stone or marble, romantic lighting, and furniture of rich wood. This is a style that welcomes you to come in, put your feet up, and relax for hours on end. Thanks to its aged beauty, this style is easy to replicate in any room.
Wall Paint: Tuscan wall colors are perfect if you have children and pets! Tuscan homes feature walls in warm tones of beige, brown, or yellow. They are usually textured, a look that can be obtained through faux painting techniques or special paints that give the look of Venetian plaster. The idea is to give your walls a subtle weathered look with warm colors, this is perfect for hiding dirt, smudges, and wall blemishes!
