How do you get the Fixer Upper look?House flipping couple, Joanna and Chip Gaines, are stars of the hit TV show, Fixer Upper, on HGTV. Chip and Joanna renovate and update dilapidated houses for clients. Since the premiere of Fixer Upper in May 2013, Joanna's iconic country farmhouse decorating style has become a major trend. Here are a few simple ways for you to get Joanna Gaines' Fixer Upper style. Mix Earthy Colors, Textures, and PrintsJoanna Gaines produces an inviting living space through her use of warm, earth-tone colors such as blues, browns, off-whites, greens, and greys. These colors allow the mind to have an essence of peace and comfort associated with nature. When mixed together in a simplistic pattern, these earthy colors come alive and add harmony to any room. Create dimension by using different textures: a wood end table, a coarse rug, a soft blanket, a leather couch. Incorporate Indoor PlantsSpeaking of earthiness, what better way to incorporate nature in your design than bringing it inside? In almost all of the Fixer Upper episodes, Joanna finishes off her decorating by adding a touch of foliage. This can be done by hanging a wreath on a wall, filling an old bottle with fresh cut flowers, or planting succulents or other low maintenance flora in a wooden crate to use as a centerpiece or side table embellishment. Not only does the greenery add color and liveliness, but it also has many health benefits. Check out this blog post to assist you in choosing the right indoor plant for your home. Make a StatementTo make a statement, incorporate one or two large, eclectic objects and surround it with smaller pieces. Joanna specifically likes to integrate sizable clocks into her design plan, and offset the largeness by using delicate and original trinkets for the remainder of her design. Make your statement piece something unique and sumptuous as it will most likely be a conversation piece when guests visit. Integrate Wood ElementsAnother way to include earthiness into your Fixer Upper design plan is by incorporating wood elements. When used in interior design, wood adds a hearty and natural feel to the overall decor. There are numerous ways to embrace this element into your design scheme: furniture, wall shelves, picture frames, plant boxes, and blanket ladders are just a few of the ways natural wood can be used to create a subdued and earthy atmosphere. Keep It LightPart of what makes Joanna's country farmhouse decorating style different than country primitive decor is the bright tone within the design elements. Joanna's style is about keeping things light and airy, which plays a big role in the overall visual appeal of her projects. Don't be afraid to use white furniture and accessories with white walls - just remember to add earthy colors in the rest of your adornments. Mix Old & NewBy mingling vintage or rustic items into your design plan, you can easily create a comfortable, lived-in space that's perfect for relaxing. Joanna is all about chippy and unadorned touches that tie together modern comfort with an old-time feel. Check out local antique shops or outdoor flea markets for unusual and older pieces to incorporate into your design. This post claims no credit for any images posted here unless otherwise noted.
