Every creative venture requires inspiration – and that especially applies to decorating your home. Hunt for your favorite hues in places where you typically feel motivated and imaginative. As you explore palette choices, try crafting a mood board of your favorite shades to keep your ideas organized.

Look to Mother Nature.

Many design professionals agree that heading outdoors can rouse creative ideas for inside the home. Spend a little time outside and observe which tones you’re drawn to most. Soak in beautiful landscapes or flowers. Any color combination formed in nature can easily be translated into an interior arrangement and make for a soothing ambience.

Defer to a beloved pattern.

Whether it’s from your favorite wallpaper, dress or artwork, a preexisting pattern is likely to coordinate well. Even if the pattern incorporates disparate colors, a harmony can be found by applying a visual hierarchy: The largest tone fills the most space; as the others diminish in scale and size, they fill less space.

Consider your target vibe.

You want the hues in each room to correlate, emotionally and visually, so pinpointing the overall atmosphere you want for your home can guide you to a pleasing palette. Then you can determine which colors specifically convey each room’s appropriate mood.

The process of conceptualizing your perfect home palette also requires some technical observation.

Here are some additional steps to consider.

Sketch out a floor plan.

Note the features in each room and the immovable pieces that exist there – such as wallpaper, furniture or décor. If your bed frame is a particular color or tone, then you’ll want to be sure the hues in your arrangement can coexist with it. The same goes for any other prominent pieces of décor.

Understand and contemplate value.

As you put together your favorite mix of hues, it’s important to grasp the concept of value. Value is the relative degree of lightness or darkness of a color. When arranging a multi-color palette, use

a combination of values to maintain an attractive balance. Consider using a dark shade, a bright shade and a light shade in each room. If helpful, connect these ideas to the vibe you want in your home as you make selections.

Observe daily light changes.

Color is drastically impacted by light, so it is vital to understand what the primary light source is in every room. Consider how much daylight and artificial light each space receives in relation to the time of day it’s used most. A room with less sun exposure is typically darker and more shadowy, so using a warm combination would offset the shadows. Likewise, a room primarily occupied after sunset will be lit artificially, so bear in mind whether the light source is incandescent (redder, warmer) or fluorescent (bluer, cooler) and select your color scheme to best suit those hues.

Decide on a neutral.

Most any interior designer will advise that a successful in-home color palette – no matter how bold or complex – should include one neutral hue. These shades are (usually) timeless and tie together the other colors in your combination. With inevitable shifts in paint and décor trends, a neutral will give your palette more staying power. When fads fade, you can phase out trendy options while keeping your neutrals and general design intact.

Test your choices.

You’re almost ready to roll. But before laying a single stroke of paint to any of your walls, you’ll want to experiment. Buy a sample of your favorite shades and either paint each one on a small section of your walls or paint each sample onto pieces of posterboard to test them throughout each room and at different times of day. As you tackle this process, keep a color wheel handy to stay on track.

After you’ve done some informed, artistic deliberation, the home color scheme of your dreams will be within reach. You’ll be poised to paint to your heart’s content knowing you’ve covered some design best practices.

FACE VALUE

Great Bone Structure Lures Buyers

By Tracy Ellison

As appealing as décor and objets d’art can be at an open house, home buyers are still savvy enough to know that your decorative accessories will leave with you. They’ll be looking for what stays as the frame for their own design sensibilities. Architectural and aesthetic elements can play a big part in sealing the deal of a home. If you’re planning to put your home on the market, consider some of these simple yet much-sought-after room accents that make a powerful impact when prepping for selling –structural nuances can tip the sale in your favor.

The Divine Is in the Details

The finishing touch, the pièce de résistance, the cherry on top in any room is all-important molding – it may not stand out and shout, but it surely leaves an impression on a well-appointed room. Used smartly and creatively, molding not only hides little imperfections and seams, it also adds a clean, finished touch. Whether we’re talking crown, band or dentil molding, and whether it’s capping the walls, rimming the baseboards or framing the windows, molding is a relatively inexpensive feature that quickly and easily adds an indefinable elegance.

What’s Underfoot?

Peek at what’s hiding beneath gloomy old carpeting and linoleum – you might hit the flooring lottery and discover a treasure trove of natural hardwood just waiting to be revealed. Pull up tired and dated surfaces to expose the gleaming gorgeousness of timeless maple, oak or pine. Easily restored to their former glory, hardwoods never go out of style and represent quality craftsmanship home buyers seek. You can never go wrong going natural.

Heads Up

Within your room’s four walls there is a fifth opportunity for design – on your ceiling. If you’re a ravenous redecorator and have run out of places to primp, look up to this often-forgotten blank canvas. Expect to create different moods with different hues above. Surprisingly, dark ceilings open up a room, giving the illusion of infinity, like the night sky. Lighter colors create visual interest and lend brightness. Give a complementary nod to your existing wall color by adding a few drops of white paint and take it up a notch or two for the ceiling tone. Or perhaps a moody monochromatic scene is more your vibe for an enveloping feel that wraps you in single-tone serenity from walls to

ceiling. Whichever way you turn the contrast dial, know that paint is an instant game changer and a transformative tool readily found in your DIY book of great ideas. Once you put paint to ceiling, you’ll inevitably get necks cranking in awe of your ingenuity.

A Hit Below the Belt

Drum up some drama with wainscoted walls. This classic, lower-half wall detail, originally designed to protect and provide extra insulation, now lends texture and a touch of civility to an otherwise uneventful surface. In the dining room, wainscoting serves up sophistication; in the living room it adds extra interest. Think about introducing this simple yet impactful design element to any room in the house and leave ho-hum wallflowers behind.

Dig Deep

Go beyond surface materials and expose the structural elements of your home. Brick walls and wooden ceiling beams steal the show and become main features when coaxed out of their shells. Whether stripped to their original state or accented with a layer of revitalizing paint, these workhorses of construction are golden tickets to unique interior design and should be flaunted for all to admire.

Explore whether there are any standout architectural gems built into the integrity of your home or upgrades you can easily introduce. After all, great bone structure is an undeniable feature of a good-looking home and irresistibly charming to home buyers.

ARCADIA

Oasis in the Valley of the Sun

One of the most popular neighborhoods in Phoenix is a favorite community of Scottsdale as well – made possible by the fact that Arcadia actually straddles both fine cities. While the indisputable majority lies in Phoenix, the easternmost tip of the neighborhood actually has a Scottsdale address.

Luckily, the two cities peaceably share claim to the community’s shaded lanes, lush lawns, spacious lots and some terrific dining and shopping options. These are all part of what makes the area so desirable and a real standout in the desert landscape.

With a rich history in the citrus farming industry, Arcadia fortunately still boasts beautiful and fragrant remnants of its agricultural past, which dates to the early 1900s. The Arcadia Water Company, incorporated in 1919, is responsible for a sophisticated system of irrigation that kept the original tracts of land properly hydrated and gave the community its reputation for having some of the most verdant land around.

Many of the homes from the community’s formative years still adorn the neighborhood and have been lovingly maintained and updated over the

information

decades. These historical residences are interspersed with others that represent a variety of architectural styles, from Frank Lloyd Wright-style ranches to Pueblo Revival.

Famed Camelback Mountain, appropriately resembling a kneeling camel, is a huge draw for hikers from all over. Incredible views of this Phoenix landmark can be enjoyed from Arcadia, and the neighborhood’s proximity to Camelback Mountain Echo Canyon Recreation Area makes it even more desirable for nature enthusiasts who like to hit the trail. Cyclists can join in the fun by traversing Lafayette Boulevard, notable for its accommodating bike lanes, and continuing to wind their way through Arcadia’s tree-lined avenues.

Residents also have an opportunity to revel in some prime retail therapy just minutes away. Scottsdale Fashion Square and Biltmore Fashion Park provide plenty of upscale shopping and dining choices, and of course the arts and cultural scenes of both downtown Phoenix and Old Town Scottsdale are near at hand as well.

ORO VALLEY

Popular Choice for Pleasant Living

Just north of Tucson is the bedroom community of Oro Valley, bordered on its east side by the Santa Catalina Mountains and a scenic state park. The convenience of its proximity to the “big city” and the adjacent park is a significant draw for the year-round residents as well as the large population with a second (typically winter) home in Arizona.

Pusch Ridge, a prominent feature in the picturesque mountain range, holds historical significance for the town. The ridge itself takes its name from George Pusch, one of the entrepreneurial immigrants who established a substantially large cattle ranch – the Steam Pump Ranch – in 1874 in the foothills where Oro Valley now lies. Despite early acknowledgement from Pusch and other pioneers that this was a desirable area to settle, it was quite some time before residential development really took hold – not until after World War II. Incorporation of the city followed in 1974. Since then, the number of lovely gated and golf communities has truly blossomed.

The various hiking and biking trails that snake their way throughout the region run the gamut of accessibility, from smoothly paved paths to so-called “primitive” trails comprised of considerably rougher terrain, accommodating all

skill levels. The importance of the town’s connection to nature is demonstrated by its popular Adopt-A-Trail program, which encourages local involvement in the upkeep and maintenance of this excellent source of outdoor enjoyment.

The well-attended Heirloom Farmers Market is another perfect example of the kind of pleasant community spirit that reigns in Oro Valley. Purveyors of fresh produce and various other vendors gather at Steam Pump Ranch on Saturday mornings, attracting browsers, tasters and buyers of all ages.

The sociable, family-friendly atmosphere in the town has been noted in recent years by a number of reputable publications and organizations. Among its impressive accolades are inclusion on lists of the “Safest Cities in Arizona,” “Arizona’s Best Small Cities” (with a 2021 population of over 47,000) and the “Top Ten Best Towns for Families.” Oro Valley schools also consistently rank high among other education systems across the state.

To these agreeable characteristics, add a beautiful setting and an extraordinarily mild climate. It’s no wonder Oro Valley has become a place that residents are pleased and proud to call home.

PRESCOTT

An Outdoor Enthusiast’s Delight

A quick glance at a map reveals how Prescott earned its reputation as a nature lover’s paradise. Nestled against the sprawling Prescott National Forest to the west and south, surrounded by the beauty of Tonto and Coconino National Forests to the east and boasting easy access to photogenic Watson Lake, this town is an Arizonan treasure.

Juniper, chaparral, as well as ponderosa and pinyon pines grace the mountains and rambling meadows of the region, which enjoys temperate weather the whole year, yet still manages to have four distinct seasons. The bordering parks offer innumerable opportunities for hiking and trailblazing, all just a short distance from the charm of downtown.

Nearby Watson Lake is a favorite getaway for residents, though there’s little hustle and bustle to escape from in the quiet historic community. The lake and its park simply provide another opportunity to connect with nature while canoeing, rock climbing, picnicking, fishing and camping. Four-legged friends may even be invited along for the adventure, with over 350 acres of pet-friendly terrain to explore.

Prescott’s past is preserved along its pleasant tree-lined streets, particularly on Whiskey Row, a block of downtown featuring saloons galore – a nod to its 1860s Gold Rush culture. Today there are also shops, restaurants and galleries among the plethora of old-time taverns. Back when Prescott was an active hub for prospectors, cowboys and other colorful characters, it was also the capital when Arizona was just a territory. This role as the figurative heart of the Grand Canyon State for a short time is reflected in its literal central location.

In 2018, Time magazine named Prescott #9 on its list of the “Happiest and Healthiest Cities in America.” And if residents ever happen to find a reason to roam past the community’s picturesque avenues or beyond the peace of Watson Lake, humming Phoenix is less than 100 miles south of Prescott, as is Flagstaff to the northeast. Side trips to scenic Sedona or the quaint towns of Jerome and Camp Verde are also just a short drive away.

SEDONA

Bliss Among the Red Rocks

It is often said that the beauty of Sedona changes dramatically with the movement of the sun – so too does the personality of this one-of-a-kind town. Located in northern Arizona just south of Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona spans Yavapai and Coconino counties, and is known for its gorgeous red rock and breathtaking vistas.

In the early morning, the spectacular colors of the bluffs inspire tranquility and meditation, then the diverse arts scene starts to come alive. Late afternoon presents innumerable opportunities for settling in at local restaurants for superb dining, live music and incomparable views. As the sun sets, the shifting light creates a nature portrait like no other, to the delight of hikers, photographers and the fortunate residents who get to experience this ever-evolving tapestry every day.

The spirituality of the place is undeniable and is a heavy influence on the eclectic atmosphere. This vibe is reflected in the number of galleries and shops offering lovely works by sculptors, jewelers, wood carvers and weavers, all clearly affected by their surroundings. Such tempting merchandise can be found in clusters, most notably in the popular Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village, touted as the “Art and Soul of Sedona.” Each month, 1st Friday in the

galleries also provides ample opportunity to browse and enjoy these wares, as does the famed Sedona Arts Festival that takes place in October and has charmed art lovers for more than 30 years.

Some of the city’s oldest neighborhoods lie in Uptown, which is actually Sedona’s downtown area, and boast not only fabulous views but convenience to the popular shops and unique galleries. Private homes can also be found sprinkled throughout Oak Creek Canyon and in a wide variety of West Sedona neighborhoods, which enjoy easy access to the service organizations and amenities that locals require, such as banks, grocery stores, medical facilities and schools.

Sedona’s arts and tourism-based economy means that residents are able to enjoy a small-town lifestyle with the many benefits that visitors come from all over the world to experience – whether the vigor of hiking, biking and golf, or the serenity of yoga and painting are more their speed. The otherworldliness of the place can’t help but spill over into everyday life, setting a friendly, neighborly tone at even the simplest of local events, planned activities and regular gatherings like the vibrant farmers markets.

LAKE HAVASU

Blue Jewel of the Desert

In the instance of Lake Havasu City, it’s all in the name – the main attraction is the lovely lake around which activities and leisure in the community revolve. The beaches that hug the shores are famous for being a virtual oasis in the desert, with opportunities for swimming in the clear water and boating on the tranquil waves.

Located in Mohave County, Lake Havasu City was once just part of the rugged bank along the Colorado River. In the 1930s, the construction of the Parker Dam led to the creation of what now serves as a mecca for those who love the outdoors and make the most of using it as a playground. “Havasu” is the Mohave word for “blue water,” and while the lake is undoubtedly the star of the show here, the surrounding area also offers miles of picturesque trails, a variety of interesting wildlife and red rock vistas that all harmonize to create a true symphony of nature.

Once Lake Havasu City was established in September 1963, a vigorous marketing push brought prospective buyers to town, offering remarkable scenery and

a tempting refuge from cold climates. The city wasn’t formally incorporated until 1978, and decades of steady growth followed, with a population of over 54,000 by 2019.

You may have heard the tale that the London Bridge was moved to Arizona. Well, the story is true and it can be found in none other than Lake Havasu City, gracefully spanning Bridgewater Channel. It was carefully reconstructed after an elaborate relocation process from overseas and was officially dedicated in a well-attended 1971 ceremony. Today, it is a celebrated attraction among those who choose to traverse this unusual piece of history on foot, as well as boaters who anchor in the shadow of the iconic bridge.

Aside from the obvious draw of its striking landscape and colorful history, a full calendar of events – including boat racing competitions, classic car shows and a popular balloon festival – provide even more opportunities for fun and excitement in Lake Havasu City all year long.
