Truly one of the most endearing home
decor styles today, the Tuscan style of
decorating is also one of the most enduring.
At the very core of Tuscan
decorating style is infused a centuries old
love of beauty, simplistic function, and superior artistic craftsmanship,
expressed so elegantly throughout every Tuscan
village and home. The warm, vibrant colors, earthen accents, and solid
wood furniture all invoke a sense of comfortable familiarity with the past.
Those who have experienced it firsthand will tell you that the
style of Tuscany is comfortable and happy.
It is a relaxed way of living - not flashy or pretentious. It is a focus
on finding love and beauty in things most important: family, friends, and even
food.
It is a desire to return to a more relaxed way of living that
has encouraged many to embrace this time honored, nostalgic style, and seek to
replicate it in their own surroundings. It is this same desire that inspired us
to create the valuable Tuscan
decorating resource, the
Tuscan Design Center.
For the "do-it-yourself" designer, the true beauty of the
Tuscan style may very well be it's adaptability to the modern home.
Tuscan elements can easily be infused into most living situations
with minimal effort. One need only a touch of inspiration and knowledge of
these basic Tuscan elements to begin
creating this comfortable, elegant style in their own home. We hope you
enjoy browsing the
