Flipping through magazines, reading design blogs and spending time on Pinterest, you’ve probably come across some beautiful pictures of interior spaces that feature stylized tabletop vignettes. There’s no reason you can’t create a beautiful display for your own home.

In her blog,  Colour me Happy ,  Maria Killam has some wonderful examples of beautifully executed vignettes along with some helpful tips on creating an aesthetically pleasing vignette.

Notice the use of books and a mirror in this vignette from Maria Keller

Another beautiful vignette from Maria with great balance and use of shape and color

In her post, Maria explains that;

“A tablescape or vignette should include a minimum of 3 items; flowers, candles, and books, and depending on where it is, a tray.”

When you take a look at Maria’s vignettes you will also notice how she uses color coordinated books to add height to certain objects and to create horizontal lines.

Coffee tables, sideboards and mantles are great places to arrange vignettes and one of the things to pay attention to is keeping if simple and not too cluttered.

There should be one item that grounds the grouping and the colors and textures should balance with other pieces of furniture or fabrics in the room.  At Home on the Range we love to use picture frames with family photos, interesting candle holders with candles that pull colors out of the room, sculptural items and vases in our vignettes.

If you’re searching for accessories for your vignettes, stop by the Home on the Range showroom on Loggers Lane or contact us to have us send you anything you see and like.  Here are some fun ideas we have come across recently.

picture frames are great additions to vignettes - add your own family photos for a more personal touch

 

 

I love finding fun "conversation pieces" to put in vignettes like these vintage airplanes

 

 

These antique French glass bottles will add a great touch to a vignette once they are cleaned up!

 

Candle holders work well on a mantle

Lynne Barton Bier and Susan Howard of Home on the Range, recently returned from  the High Point Furniture Market in North Carolina.  Here is one of  the companies whose products they carry in the store and who they had to make sure to visit .  Lynne says, “Eastern Accents is one of our go-to bedding vendors and we got to take a first hand look at some of their new bedding and upholstered headboards in their High Point  showroom.   We love the different looks they offer because they suit a variety of style preferences.  We are always looking for bedding that will work in the mountains but it is fun to look at what works at the beach or in an urban loft as well!”

Here are some of our favorite looks:

The warm, earthy tones and luxurious textures in the Aston collection make it a great option for rustic Colorado home design.

The leafy pattern of the Caldwell collection offers a modern flora motif accented with a fun chevron.

This blue and white Ikat would give your bedroom a fun new look!

In line with our recent posts about Colorado outdoor living, today we want to focus our attention on different furniture styles for your deck or patio. Whether you’re interested in lounging under the sun, entertaining friends and family or dining around a table, there’s something for you in our top outdoor furniture picks for your home.

Old Hickory has been in the rustic furniture business for over 100 years and has provided furniture for many of the great lodges in the National Parks.  

Great photo showing President Taft on an Old Hickory settee!

The addition of the sunbrella cushions and pads to these lounge chairs and settees adds some color and additional comfort to the rustic styles:

 Groovy Stuff is another rustic outdoor furniture company we use a lot in the mountains.  They have some fun designs and offer rustic wagon wheel furniture as well as Adirondack styles.  Many of their furniture pieces are made from  reclaimed wood : 

Take a look at how Stone 2 Furniture works in both an urban setting and a rustic mountain setting.  Stone 2 Stone has wonderful sculptural look that I can’t resist!  It ‘s looks are also deceiving because you wouldn’t anticipate how comfortable it is!  

We have been placing Palecek  furniture on patios and decks for over 20 years and have found their quality to be dependable and their styles always cutting edge.  Whether you want the traditional wicker settee that would have been on Grandma’s porch or are interested in the latest look, Palacek has it all.   We selected three of the newer pieces from Palecek to showcase their versatility of style:

Love this new take on the barrel chair!

The interesting curve on the leg of this coffee table make it look almost Asian - love the simple yet interesting design

This lounge chair has it all - style, comfort and durability!

We look to Woodard for metal furniture, and especially love these two sets:

I love the pop of red on the cushions of this patio furniture by Woodard

The transitional lines of this Palladian dining set works well in any setting.

How are you setting up your patio for spring? You can check out our posts on inspiring rustic outdoor living spaces and dining alfresco in style for inspiration.

As promised in our post on dining alfresco in style, in today’s post we’re sharing some fun ideas for outdoor dining accessories.  These linens and accessories will enhance any outdoor table setting.   Whether you like something more neutral or like vibrant colors you may find something here to suit your fancy:

 

For a simple rustic look, use natural placemats and pair with colors that reflect the environment around you–soft greens and browns would create an inviting table. Add iron hurricanes and a vase of freshly picked wildflowers as finishing touches.

 

I also love to add color to my outdoor table settings – I found this one on Pinterest and love how it looks like a field of wildflowers!

 

What a fun colorful tablecloth in this table setting.  I  love the way they have created a sense of privacy with the fence and the fabric.

Decorate by Holly Becker and Joanna Copestick eclectic patio

Lynne Bier, principal and lead designer at Home on the Range, attended the Design Bloggers Conference earlier this week and was happy to meet a number of people in the industry. It’s always nice to put a face to a company you do business with, which is exactly what happened when Lynne got to talk to Patrick Bradshaw of Wesley Hall Furniture.

At Home on the Range, we always love how Wesley Hall stays on top of the design industry in terms of quality and style. As described on their company website:

“Over the last 20 years, Wesley Hall has become a key manufacturer in the upper segment of the upholstered furniture market. We attribute our success to an unwavering commitment to providing excellent service, quality, fashion, and value.”

Here are some of our favorite upholstered furniture pieces from Wesley Hall:

They have many beautiful chairs, including these four options:

This swivel fits into smaller spaces but is still really comfortable!

A fun fabric can really change the look of this chair - we love the chair both ways.

Here is a similar style in a solid. It also looks great in leather.

We love the mix of wood and fabric on this fun accent chair.

This sofa has a great transitional frame:

This comes in both a loveseat size and a sofa size

And we love the curve on these ottomans:

Which of these pieces stand out to you?

You might remember our recent blog on  mountain rustic bathroom design,  http://blog.homeontherangeinteriors.com/featured/mountain-rustic-bathroom-design-inspiration/ illustrating the use of  natural materials and reclaimed wood  in rustic bathrooms .  We have been using reclaimed wood in our designs for the past 15 years, from Old Homestead Ranch style homes to Rustic Contemporary homes.  We are now having fun watching its popularity expand to include contemporary homes all over the country and even all over the world.  From city lofts to Malibu beach front houses to Swiss ski chalets, reclaimed wood is being used for interior finishes, furniture and bathroom vanities.  Part of its current popularity stems from the interest in green design.  Re-purposing is a great way to go green, and mixing steel with reclaimed wood gives the furniture a more industrial look that works well in contemporary design. In this blog we are focusing on the use of reclaimed wood in contemporary furniture design and we hope you enjoy looking at some of our favorite pieces!

The reclaimed wood that’s part of this contemporary bath furniture style vanity we spotted on Houzz is a perfect example of mixing steel and reclaimed wood.

Below, we’ve compiled some beautiful contemporary reclaimed wood furniture that would fit perfectly into rustic design.

The following three pieces are all from Four Hands:

Tracy Plasma TV Console

Tioga Bed

Orson Coffee Table

And the next two are from Classic Home:

Franklin Four-Door Cabinet

 

Franklin Six-Drawer Cabinet

This coffee table is from a Breckinridge, CO company that makes contemporary pieces from Beetlekill pine. We love that they’re creating something wonderful out of the devastation the beetles caused to Colorado Lodgepole pines.

Coffee Table

 

This reclaimed wood and steel sideboard from Modern Arks would add a great touch to a loft dining area

Ottomans are extremely versatile pieces in home design. They not only give you a place to prop up your feet and add a decorative touch to a room, but they also can be used as coffee tables or storage pieces. Here, we’ve compiled a number of examples of ottomans as a gem in both function and form:

At Home on the Range, we’ve used ottomans as coffee tables in multiple Western interior design projects—they just work so well!

This is a fun little ottoman seat in a closet:

Another smart place for an ottoman is at the foot of a bed, like in this chic bedroom design.

This tufted ottoman is another great example of an ottoman as a coffee table.

How have you incorporated ottomans in your home? Leave a comment to share, or feel free to post pictures of your own versatile ottomans on our Facebook page. We’d love to see them!

Mirrors can do a lot more than help you get ready in the morning!   Whether we want to open up a space, reflect a gorgeous view or jazz up an accent wall,  we often turn to mirrors for their decorating versatility. Today, we want to show you some great photos illustrating the use of mirrors in design and then you’ll see a few interesting mirrors available through Home on the Range Interiors. Take a look…

An oval mirror is the perfect complement to the mosaic tile in this powder bath. 

Below, a mirror grouping adds an interesting accent to the wall.

The round mirror between two vertical architectural elements adds a nice focal point to this seating area.

Designer Tobi Fairley included a sunburst mirror in this colorful and inviting living room.

Below are four different mirror styles available through Home on the Range Interiors.

The reclaimed wood and sculptural shape of this mirror would add a nice statement to an entry and the scalloped edges of the next two mirrors paired with the metallic finishes would spice up any wall!
