Comfortable, Peaceful...Serenity

          After long, hectic hours at the office, our homes should be a place to retreat and look forward to resting at the end of each day. Creating a feeling of comforting surroundings with familiar and cherished items around our interiors makes our house truly a home. Your favorite chair or spot on the sofa that has been seasoned over time is not cherished as much by anyone but you. Adding that plush, warm blanket and throw pillow is the icing on the cake in the quest for relaxation.

          Customizing the bedroom is even more important to our daily mental and emotional state of well being. Is your bed the right size for you? Is your bedding beautiful and inviting in fabrics that are comfortable and soothing? Do the patterns and colors make you happy and at peace? This is your special cocoon and should be one of the most pleasing rooms in the interior of your home. Other bedrooms in the house should be just as inviting. When family and friends come to visit and stay for the upcoming holidays make their retreat just like a home away from home and they will always enjoy returning in the future. Bella Interiors offers all of these special items to give your home that comfortable, peaceful feeling of serenity. All bed sets and throw pillows are on sale 20% off through the month of September! Let the designers at Bella help you truly make your house a haven."If it's Beautiful...it's Bella!"

Moving Day!

Moving Day!

     When moving day arrives and you have to look at, pick up, and move every single item you own, it is often a good time to re-evaluate the good, the bad, and the ugly.... We often face the challenge of getting rid of some possessions. Most often, out-dated and worn furniture, lamps, bedding, rugs, and accessories are the items we need to let.... well, move on! Moving day is also a very optimistic and exciting time; however, to explore new opportunities to improve, revamp or totally change your design style. Find out what you have that you really like. What really makes YOU "happy". Don't be held captive by those pieces that have never been really to your liking. Maybe those pieces were your mothers or handed down from someone or some where else. Develop your own identity when it comes to your home decor. What is your style? Or what do you want it to be?

      Bella Interiors will be experiencing its own "moving day" throughout the first weeks of August. Bella's interior designers have returned from market where furnishings and accessories were purchased with the latest styles in mind. To make it easy to determine your likes and find or develop your own style, the store will be transformed into several style vignettes. Shipments of new furniture, accessories, rugs and artwork are being unboxed daily in anticipation of the big reveal. Styles represented will be Country French, Shabby Chic, Ultra Contemporary, Transitional, Traditional, Colorful Bohemian, and the Lodge look. The designers are excited about guiding our customers to the area in the store that suits their taste. Along with the new vignettes, Bella-loo will be featuring new towels and products for the bath area. Circle E Candles, new jewelry from Towne & Reece, beautiful new florals, as well as great fall and holiday decor are coming soon! Come see what's exciting and new at Bella Interiors!

Floor Plans - A Rug for all Occasions

Floor Plans - A Rug for All Occasions

          When it comes to the Interior Design of your home, nothing makes a home more complete and cozy than draperies on the windows and rugs on the floors. The right color, style and size rug can create a conversation area. As well as provide color, pattern and character, a rug can truly define a space. Almost like a fine oil painting placed strategically on the floor to pull together a room, as well as provide comfort under foot, a good rug can be an investment that you can enjoy for years.

          Since a rug can be an investment, it is good to know what quality and type you are looking for. There are three general types of rug construction which also dictate quality and price. These three types are - hand-knotted, hand- or gun-tufted, and machine-made.

         Hand - knotted rugs are the most desirable of the three. They have the highest level of craftsmanship and are also the hardest to put a distinct value on. Because of their unique variations in color and design, as well as the long amount of time it takes to hand make each rug, they are at the top of the price range. Wool is the best rug content material. It improves over time and develops a wonderful patina.

        Hand- or gun-tufted is the second type of construction. These cost less than hand-knotted and are produced quickly requiring less labor and skill. Although they can be custom sized, the construction of the rug can disintegrate over time. The rug is stenciled on the back and then yarns are inserted into the design. The pile material is then set in latex and then covered with material on the back

         Machine-made, the third type of construction, uses computer technology to reproduce any design and color in mass quantity using natural and synthetic material for the pile.This type is usually the most economical of the three.

         Bella Interiors offers each of these three varieties of rugs, with a good selection ready to buy right off the sales floor. We also special order any size and style from our many rug resources. Come to Bella and let our experienced design staff help you find a rug for any and all occasions.

PERSONAL TOUCH

          When it comes to the interior decor of your home, the most important final step in decorating is adding finishing touches that truly make your house personal to you and to your guests. Everyone likes to display and look at family photos or pictures of momentous occasions in your life that are special to you. Displaying these in beautiful, unique photo frames adds to the importance of each one. Along with adding frames to your decor, everyone enjoys an intoxicating fragrance filling the air.

Dress up Your Windows in Style

 Dress Up Your Windows

     Nothing makes a house feel like a home more than window treatments. There is something almost magical that occurs when a window is draped. A room immediately becomes cozier and has a true purpose, making a house feel like a home. Drapery can also be an architectural as well as beautiful creation. A window can be disguised, made to appear wider, taller, or shorter all by the way it is treated. Function is also very important when selecting the style and fabric used for a treatment. Privacy, light control, and beauty all need to be considered. There are unlimited fabric and style options available.

     Many treatments can be purchased ready to install immediately. Or, a custom made treatment can give a home character and personality unique to the homeowners personal taste and style. When creating something custom, a treatment is designed with all of these specifics in mind. A fabric is selected to compliment existing interior decor and often decorative trim and hardware are added for the finishing touch.

     Bella Interiors can assist you with all of your design needs when it comes to ready made or custom treatments. All in stock drapery and hardware are offered at a 20% discount throughout the month of May. So don't leave you windows undressed, make your house feel like a warm, cozy, inviting HOME today.

Outdoor Entertaining...Dont Forget the DETAILS!

Outdoor Entertaining....don't forget the DETAILS!

     Creating an outdoor living space is just as important as designing the interior of your home. Think of your outdoor space as an extension of, and reflection upon, what lies inside. Allow the two spaces to flow and intermingle with each other. To accomplish this, your outdoor room must have beauty as well as durability suitable to withstand the outdoor elements. Select your main furniture pieces keeping in mind areas designed specifically for lounging, gathering, serving and dining. After your main pieces are established remember the DETAILS. The details are what create character, style and ambiance.

DETAILS... 

     If it is within your budget, structural features are great additions. An outdoor fireplace or fountain, or even a built in bar or kitchen area will be enjoyed by all. Accessorizing your space with details such as outdoor rugs, table top water features, outdoor wall art and lighting is what transforms your patio into a room. Pots and planters complete the room and define your living spaces. Using seasonal plants and flowers in decorative containers allows you to further enjoy "livng" in your space year round.

     BELLA INTERIORS is now extending their interior selections to include outdoor living and entertaining. Arriving in the store for Spring...outdoor furniture, art glass solar yard stakes, art glass wall art and birdbaths, candelabras, Talevera torches and pottery, outdoor rugs, tabletop fountains, colorful drinking glasses and serving pieces for entertaining...and much, much MORE!!! Let Bella make the exterior of your  home just as beautiful, inviting and enjoyable as the interior. Happy Entertaining!!!
