Decorate with earthtones and warm colors for the look of Tuscany. You want to stick with golds and greens with perhaps some browns and eggplants. Get paint cards which match your color scheme. Carry the cards with you so you can match up your accessories when you are out shopping.
In the home, look at accessorizing with paintings and knick knacks as well as furniture. You want to end up with a simple, country style with painted or distressed pine furniture. Choosing your furniture and accessories wisely will help make your home unique and interesting.
The Tuscan decorating style epitomizes time worn furniture and Italian accessories. Window treatments for this style should be plain and unobtrusive. Try decorating your windows with plain wooden shutters or breezy sheers. The walls can really add to the Tuscan look - try faux painting them to look like old worn plaster then hang some old world paintings in ornate frames.
You should also be sure to get the proper lighting for your decorating theme. Pick lighting that is of an antique or rustic style to show off your Tuscan décor. Consider simple but elegant lamps - perhaps made of Venetian glass or marble.
While you may not think too much about it flooring plays a vital role in your room décor. The Tuscan style looks great with hardwood floors, but your home will be bare without area rugs so think about adding some organic style rugs or mats in earth tones or even an oriental rug.
To add to your Tuscan home decor use dried Italian peppers hanging in strings on the walls or Majolica Pottery plates in decorative plate racks as well as earthenware jugs, painted tole trays, and alabaster or marble pieces to complete your decorating scheme. To soften up the room, think about buying pillows that have embroidered or needlepoint scenes and don't forget to sprinkle in a few house plants.
The Tuscan decorating style can be a great way to get a new look and if you plan it out properly it will be fun and easy. Simply buy the items on your plan and put them in place - your room with have the allure of the Italian countryside in no time!
