(ARA) - Change is in the air. Fall is here and winter isn't far away. It's one of the busiest times of year for interior decorators.

The reason we're so busy is people really get energized in the fall, says Thomas Pheasant, an award winning interior designer from Washington, D.C. The change in temperature serves as a signal to start focusing more on the indoors to get ready for winter.

Pheasant says one of the best, and easiest places to start, is in the room where you spend a majority of your time: the bedroom. You don't have to start moving furniture all over the place to change the look of the room, says Pheasant. Changing your bedding and curtains is often all it takes to make a dramatic difference.

Pheasant says the same colors you see on the trees outside --- orange, gold, red, brown and olive green -- have great appeal indoors. They really set the mood of the season, especially when combined with paisley and velvet textures.

The bedroom isn't the only place where bold color and texture changes will have a quick and noticeable impact. You can also set the mood of the season ...
... by putting some dried leaves or branches on the coffee table, and colorful pillows and a slip cover on your sofa. A seasonal bowl of apples on the dining room table, along with slip covers on the chairs, will also make a big impact.

So where do you start if you want to bring the fall look into your own home? Start with materials. The kinds of fabric or color you choose can really change the attitude of the room, says Pheasant. Velvet and damask are formal patterns that are more appropriate for fall and winter. Linen, paisley and leather are more modern and better suited for spring and summer.

Pheasant recommends you take his ideas to an interior designer for help implementing them. Mistakes are expensive. Professional designers have resources available that most people do not. Hiring someone can make your life so much easier, says Pheasant.

If you ultimately decide to take Pheasant's advice, pieces from his collection of furniture and accessories are sold at Baker Furniture and over 200 other independent dealers throughout the country. Log onto www.bakerfurniture.com for access to a retail store directory.
