Elevated Elegance: Decorating with Neutral Tones, the Lavender Fields Way

Neutral tones have an undeniable charm, offering a versatile and timeless foundation for your home decor. At Lavender Fields, we're here to show you how to embrace neutral tones without ever being boring, by infusing creativity and thoughtful design. 

Play with Textures

One of the easiest ways to add depth and interest to a neutral color scheme is through textures. Layer soft linen cushions with a chunky knit throw or introduce a plush rug to contrast with sleek furniture. The interplay of textures elevates your decor and lends an inviting, tactile quality to the space.

Embrace Metallic Accents

Don't shy away from introducing metallic elements into your neutral haven. Copper, gold, or silver accents bring a touch of glamour and visual intrigue. Incorporate metallic finishes through decor pieces like vases, mirrors, or table accessories.

Bold Statements with Art

Infuse personality and vibrancy by adorning your walls with bold artworks. A striking painting or an intricate wall sculpture in neutral tones can become a captivating focal point. These pieces add a touch of drama while harmonizing seamlessly with your overall design.

Pattern Play

Experiment with subtle patterns in your textiles and decor items. Incorporating gentle geometric patterns, delicate stripes, or understated botanical prints can add a sense of movement and complexity to the space, all within the neutral color palette.

Pops of Color Accents

Neutral doesn't mean devoid of color. Select a single accent color, such as a muted blush or a soft teal, to punctuate your decor. Scatter a few accessories like cushions, ceramics, or curtains in this hue to add some depth to your home.

Statement Furniture

 Invest in a statement furniture piece that exudes elegance and personality. A beautifully designed neutral-toned sofa with intricate details or a uniquely shaped coffee table can become the centerpiece of your decor.

Top 10 Tips from an Interior Designer

1. Do Not Be Afraid to Hire An Interior Designer 

Hiring an Interior Designer not only brings peace of mind to the design process but it will save you time and money in the long run. While it is easy to think that you can “do it yourself,” an Interior Designer is going to help you stay within your budget, provide access & resources to design items otherwise not accessible, and take the stress and guesswork of creating a beautiful home. Additionally, an Interior Designer is going to give you TIME back. Between family, work, and life, letting a professional take the lead with your design project will allow you more creative freedom to assist in the process, yet still stay focused with your day-to-day tasks. 

At Lavender Fields, your happiness is our number one priority, and we look forward to assisting you in creating the home of your dreams. We offer complimentary design assistance in store, by phone, and email too. 

Contact us today to get started on all of your design needs! 

2. Purchase Quality Furniture 

While purchasing good quality furniture may seem like an unneeded expense at the time, their return on investment far outweighs that of their initial price tag. Here are just a few of the reasons WHY investing in quality furniture is going to be more cost effective to you in the future!

• Quality products are going to last - most likely a lifetime! In addition, they provide better comfort and, ultimately, less of a financial burden down the road. 
• The versatility of what is offered with higher end furniture is far greater than those with a relatively lower price point. 
• It’s aesthetically pleasing! High quality furniture looks just like that; high quality! 

At Lavender Fields, we understand the importance of QUALITY, and we want you to feel confident & proud of what you display. This is why we hand select all of the items we carry, and never compromise on items that we would not recommend. Hiring an Interior Designer will help you search for the perfect statement piece/pieces to make your home stand out, all while staying within your budget & no sacrificing quality!

3. Start Each Room With a Favorite Piece

 When you are looking for design inspiration, turning to a favorite piece for each room is the perfect start. Whether you have a piece of art you adore, a piece of furniture you want to highlight, or a fabric that you have been wanting to use, these provide the best starting point.

4. Create Your Own Story 

In a world of DIY, home improvement channels, and even social media, it’s hard NOT to get excited about decorating, and inspired to create the perfect living space. More often than not, though, I work with clients who see a look they like, fall in love with the picture, and decide they want to recreate or “copy” it altogether. Easy right?

What we tend to not look at are the specifics, and if it “fits” our lifestyle. 

Here are a couple of examples:

The space [family room] I want to recreate is gorgeous but will it be conducive to my young family of 5? It is too formal, and not enough comfort? Does it fit the needs of our family right now? 

I love this rug shown on social media but, beyond the expense, does it work in the area where I would want it to be showcased? It’s in a “high traffic” area and gets a lot of wear and tear. While I want quality, maybe I need to find something similar but with more versatility. 

Getting inspired by what is out there is a great economical resource but tailor it to your “story.” It’s about bringing style, comfort, and versatility to a space that fits your current needs, whether you are a young couple, a family of 5, or empty nesters. Hiring an Interior Designer is a wonderful addition to help bring your story to life, and create a vision for ways to change this down the road as your style and living situation evolves. If you are looking for some inspiration, take a peek at the curated selection of lifestyles we offer!

5. Lighting Matters

Think of lighting like your wardrobe - fun statement pieces mixed with essentials for everyday. Believe it or not, though, lighting is a design element that tends to be overlooked in the process. One of the best ways to properly “outfit” your space is to think about all of the ways it will be utilized. From there, you can start creating the perfect mood(s) such as warmth, drama, inviting, etc. For example, lamps serve an essential, everyday purpose; whether table or floor, they bring life to your space, and compliment natural and overhead lighting. On the other hand, chandeliers can act like jewelry, or fun statement pieces, for your home.

6. Sleep Is Important

The art to creating an inviting bedroom is that it is not only beautiful but the space is conducive to getting a good night’s sleep. In addition to selecting peaceful, serene and warm colors, along with proper lighting to provide a calm and welcoming space, I advise clients to make sure their bedroom is designed to be just that - their bedroom. Things I like to consider include keeping electronics outside of the space, avoiding clutter which can induce the feeling of stress, room temperature, and, most importantly, selecting your bedding wisely.

7. Guest Rooms Matter!

While guest rooms may not be a part of the home that you utilize on the regular, and “live in” for that matter, they should not be spaces that you skimp on though! Just as you want your home to be beautiful and comfortable for everyday living, the same should go for making your guests feel that way too!

Pine Cone Hill

8. Slipcovers Are Life Saving

There is something to be said about a slipcover, specifically for the fact that it is machine washable. This is a huge WIN, and a great addition when I am creating a child and pet friendly home for a client! Beyond being able to clean them as needed, they are versatile and can easily be changed out when you are ready for a new look. Plus, it is more economical since you only need to replace the slipcover and not the entire sofa. We are pleased to offer Lee Furniture, Cisco, Rowe and Norwalk. Contact us for details as our fabric options are endless!

9. Art Matters

All too often, I will walk into a room and see the space with no art at all, art that does not tell the client's story, or art that is not cohesive to the space. Art can be an overlooked investment because of the expense and not fully understanding the value & statement it adds to the home. While it can feel like an overwhelming process, take time to select art, and get to know what you like, don’t like, and fits your decor, personality, and story. Invest in art that will increase in value or that can be passed on to your family. If you are looking for some inspiration, take a peek at the art & wall decor that we offer at Lavender Fields.

10. Don’t Make Impulse Purchases

Finally, all too often I see customers make an impulse purchase from a big box store because they felt they “had to have it.” Those purchases often wind up on marketplaces as they realize the quality is cheap, it does not fit right in the room, it’s not versatile, etc. The art to creating your perfect space is in the hunt, and comparing a variety of different pieces before making the investment. What you think you may have wanted may not be what you end up loving! Even living in the space for a bit gives you a sense of what feels “right,” and what makes the most sense given your current lifestyle.

Create Your Perfect Gallery Wall

 These easy tips will help you create that gallery wall you have been meaning to work on but have no idea how and where to start.

1. Start with your favorite piece. It could be art, an architectural piece or a tapestry. Once you have your focal point and favorite piece you can work around it. If you do not have a favorite piece look around to see what inspires you. 

2. Gather your other pieces. Are you going for a coastal theme, eclectic, romantic or country look? Search online, local shops, flea markets or from your already growing collection. View our art collection. 

3. Clear some floor space and tape off the amount of space that are working with for your gallery wall. Then play around with the arrangement of your pieces to decide on a layout. When you are ready cut out some kraft paper and painters tape it to the wall so you have your gallery wall all planned out before you start nailing into the wall.

4 .Now take a step back, look at your wall and make adjustments if needed.

5. If you need help with your gallery wall we offer free design assistance as well as full design services. Find out more about our services.

Now a little about me you may have not known...
I am a single mom with a beautiful 9 year old daughter. Ava Rose was raised in our store so all the locals remember her from when she was a little baby. She now loves helping me in the shop and can often be found showing customers all of her favorite things. We live in a historic house in Port Jefferson village we which are lovingly restoring for years! We took a break from restoration work but will be back at it soon and will feature all our projects on the blog. I am a vegan and Ava is a vegetarian (almost vegan at this point). We love animals and have a wonderful fun dog named Harry who we rescued from a bad place in 2004 and we also have several funny cats their photos pop up now and then on our instagram feed. We also rescue cats and do tnr in our neighborhood. I am on the board of a non-profit called Port Jefferson Cat Care with my good friend and local natural doctor Doni Wilson. Visit our instagram page for more info pjcatcare.

I grew up traveling the world with my parents and sister so I have always had a love for travel and a love for finding unique products. My dad had a passion for antiques so we would often spend our time at antique markets and yard sales. We grew up going to a cabin in Smallwood, New York right outside of Bethel the site of Woodstock. We spent our summers in the country and loved it.

I am passionate about finding a cure for lyme disease. I contracted lyme on a hike in 1995 and went undiagnosed for years. I spend a lot of my free time trying to help others with lyme find the care they need. Ava and I both love art, music and yoga and you can find us in the yoga studio at least once a week and we practice at home daily. When we are not working, going to school or practicing yoga we are off creating something or taking a walk in our beautiful town.

I think that covers it! Glad to share a little of my history and answer some questions about Lavender Fields!
