Seasonal decor lives in many homeowners' minds. Where do I start? How do I decorate for the holidays? What if I just want a space to explore decorating ideas, like throw pillows, on a rotating basis?

These are just a few questions that can be answered with a few quick tips.

Mild seasons

Decor ideas aren't limited to just interior decorating tips. Your front porch or yard is as great a place to express your ideas, as long as you keep the seasonal elements in mind.

Materials that can withstand intense weather can preserve your canvas and help your decor last. Once you've leveraged the basics of your environment, such as watching weather patterns and finding the right material, it's time to leverage the season itself.

For spring, use local plants and natural elements as outdoor decor. If you want to bring the elements indoors without the outdoor remnants, such as dirt or critters, borrow your outdoor color palette and incorporate bright accents.

Do the same for fall decor. Just slide down the color wheel to the warmer hues, such as reds, oranges and browns.

Extreme seasons

More extreme seasons, like winter and summer, may need a few extra home decor elements.

Incorporate elements most associated with these seasons, like mason jars and citrus during the summer and cocoa mugs and evergreen decor during the winter.

Holidays

The holidays can be fun, yet tricky. Keeping a holiday decorating schedule on hand next to your daily calendar is an excellent way to manage the waters of decorating for the holiday.

Debbie Goldberg

I'm a full time Realtor with over 30 years of experience yet young enough to embrace today's ever-changing scope of marketing and technology. Having grown up in Connecticut and moved many times (too many to count!) I can empathize with today's buyers and sellers. Strictly maintaining ethical standards and being a fierce advocate on behalf of my clients are things I take very seriously. As a buyer, you can expect me to listen to and evaluate your real estate wants and needs. I can assist in explaining relevant forms, agreements, and closing procedures. I will guide you through the process of finding the right home, negotiating your offer, adhering to all contract dates and terms as well as final walk through and closing procedures. As a seller, I will listen to and evaluate your goals, needs, and timing in order to properly price your home to get the maximum exposure needed to attract the right buyers. In addition to negotiating on your behalf, I will make sure we communicate throughout the entire process as we navigate the contract terms, finance and inspection contingencies, as well as all closing procedures. I was born in Japan, grew up in Hamden and lived in New York, Ohio and Southern California before settling down in New Haven county to raise two kids, two dogs and a cat. I'm passionate about good food and love to bake. Some of my free time has been spent volunteering at Temple Beth Sholom, a synagogue where my family has been members for over 40 years. I also spend time at Tower One/Tower East, an assisted living center in New Haven where my mother-in-law now resides. 30 years of helping buyers and sellers achieve their goals has given me the peace of mind to know that what I do everyday matters. If you are thinking of buying or selling please keep me in mind.
