The start of a new year is a time for celebration, resolutions, and reflection. As you look back on 2009 and head into the beginning of a new decade, what better time is there to redecorate your home with the style, color, and cheer of the Tuscan countryside. Emphasizing the celebration of food, friends, and life, the Mediterranean flair of Tuscan décor is the perfect way to ring in the new year.

It’s this attitude, this celebration of life that makes Tuscan décor so perfect at the turn of the year. Placing food, family, and friends as the center of the home, and using homey materials, comfortable furnishings, and upbeat colors to create a beautiful living space, Tuscan design turns your home into a cozy, inviting retreat. Creating a positive atmosphere of excitement and energy, Mediterranean decorating themes continually remind us of the optimism and anticipation of what this new time holds.

Forget about the harsh, unwelcoming lines of contemporary décor and the flat, uninspiring colors of modern style. To create a welcoming haven for your family this decade, the soft earthy colors of Tuscan design are just the thing. Combining rich blues, vivid terra cottas, and warm creams, the colors of Italy can make even the most frigid January seem pleasantly balmy. Pick great Tuscan colors for your walls, furniture, or even just your accents. If you’re not quite ready to jump into redecorating headfirst, why not try a colorful table lamp or vibrant Tuscan earthenware platter. Even small accessories can add a great splash of color and hint at festive Mediterranean style.
