Colors of Winter Inspire Interior Decorating

Friday, February 11th, 2011

Dear Friends,

February is here along with Super Bowl Activities and Valentine’s Day! And… we are all wondering if we will get one more snow storm before spring arrives! The cold, snowy winter we have been experiencing so far made me think of the Colors of Winter.gail head shot

Winter typically means white snow, barren dark brown tree trunks and crisp blue ice. We truly had a chance to experience all of those things in the last month or so with our two major snow storms! Imagine if these characteristics were channeled into a chic, high-contrast look for your living room, dining room or bedroom? What a great look! Please study the picture below and you will see what I mean then read on to see how these exciting wintry neutrals can be used in various combinations to achieve different looks.

We are here for you…and we are only a phone call away! We want to be your interior designer in Atlanta. Oh, Remember your Sweetie on Valentines Day and good luck on Game Day…see you next month!

Color me Winter..Color me Neutral
Gray: a very versatile neutral
For a Brighter space: Combine grey with white

For Depth: Use several shades of gray.


greys

White:

For a pop: add white woodwork to a room with gray or blue walls For a crisp look: use white accessories.


Lighter Blues/greens:
A neutral color with interest. Notice the striking appearance of the fabric on the chairs when combined with grays and whites.


Browns: Add Contrast!

Chocolate browns will offset the cool blues, whites and grays of a wintry room! The rich brown tone of the table (and the stairs too) really contrasts beautifully against the grays and whites

Merry Christmas from Locklear Interiors

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

Dear Friends

I love this season because it’s my “Season of Giving”! I think of all the blessings we received during the year and then I know that it’s time to give back! One of my favorite organizations is “Feed the Children” Larry Jones Ministry….the word says, “Feed the hungry and you will never be in want of any good thing”…what a wonderful thought! Other organizations we support are the Donnely Ministry, Breast Cancer, Jessie’s Kids – Home for the Little Girls and the Atlanta Missions. As we start this holiday season let’s give to others and celebrate by being Go-Givers!

And….don’t forget your Creative Holiday Spirit ! Just put on your favorite inspirational music and start decorating your house for the holidays! It makes you feel so good to see the spirit of the season present in your own home….and ….What is better than coming home after a long day, turning on the tree lights and seeing all your wonderful holiday keepsakes displayed proudly?

Seasons Greeetings !

The Kitchen is the heart of the home

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Lets face it… we all live very busy lifestyles filled with schedules and deadlines. We hurry through our days just trying to get everything done on time. Its a miracle that we still manage to find time to spend with our families and loved ones. So where do we all seem to congregate for these precious moments? The heart of the home… the kitchen. Many special hours are spent in our kitchens cooking, baking, eating or just socializing with the people we love most. The modern American kitchen serves not just as a functional room in our homes but also as a gathering place for the family.

As seen in Atlanta Magazine!

Here at Atlanta Interior Design by Locklear Interiors, we believe that the recipe for a perfect kitchen includes great design, warm hospitality and timeless beauty. Kitchens are one of the most valuable investment rooms in your home, so isn’t it well worth it to create a beautiful kitchen that will last for years to come? Commonly, homeowners see as much as a 90% return on their kitchen renovations when selling their home! Let our talented and experienced design team lead you through a kitchen remodel that will bring your family joy and create a smart investment for the future!
