September typically means school life is kicking into high gear as parents help their children transition seamlessly into back-to-school routines and revamp their own schedules to accommodate the fall rush.
And as our children return to school our focus shifts from the warm outdoors to the home's interior, as we search out ways to update the look of our home to meet the change of the season.
For those of us that experience the four seasons, when autumn rolls around and the colours of leaves change, the chill in the night air reminds us that it's almost time to move family dinners and entertaining indoors.
If the dining room is where you choose to spend time with family and friends, whether over home cooked feasts, take-out meals, or playing board games, you want to ensure that it is a comforting, warm place to be on those cool fall evenings.
When looking for inspiration to update the colours in your dining room with the season, consider bringing fall colours indoors to warm your mood. Simply changing a few pieces of art and dcor items can be an easy and budget-friendly way to update your space.
The hostess with the mostest' might choose African carvings, made of a deep brown ebony wood or a vibrant red aloa wood, to offer a unique centerpiece on a credenza or mantle and also inspire interesting discussions on art and culture, and travel.
For a more traditional change, switching out a spring or summer inspired painting for African art in bright orange or rich red hues will bring the colours of the foliage right into your dining room.
Be it contemporary, traditional, or tribal art, one or two eye-catching pieces will accent and transform your space.
