Ethan Allen: Three Tips by Ethan Allen To Restyling Your Living Space

Rethinking your living space to sync with the season can breathe new life back into your space. Just as we revamp our wardrobes seasonally, refreshing the interior of a home with select decor and styling is also a must for a designer home.

Whether decorating the living space or office, applying tips and tricks to various areas are essential to creating a perfectly-balanced space. Ethan Allen’s Abu Dhabi Lead Designer, Aseel Sarieh, highlights her favourite expert tips to refresh your space through simple key steps that make for an instant transformation. Aseel has been an interior designer since 2014, and has been designing and executing highly-luxurious projects in the UAE whilst working with Ethan Allen, believing in the power of beautiful interiors to transform daily life. Aseel’s tips come from more than nine years of experience in all aspects of residential, commercial, and hospitality design.

 

Decorative Pillows

“Simply adding different pillows can make a big difference and change the look of your home this season, especially when you add some natural organic patterns and linen textures.” reveals Aseel.

Navy Geometric Pillow

Made from navy linen with an intricately embroidered graphic pattern in white, our geometric pillow adds richness to sofas, chairs, and beds, with casual flair. This eye-catching linen pillow is filled with a feather/down insert for a lightweight, comfy feel.

 

Coffee Table Trays

Whether you need a new coffee table or have one that needs a styling bandaid, a decorating tray is a must-have accent that is handy to use when serving your guests. Choose a neutral colour tray to be able to switch out seasonally. For when its hotter, a wooden tray with a flower filled vase will give your table a fresh, organic look. You could also vary heights, colours and textures to create visual interest.

Ellis Wood and Bone Tray

A truly stunning showpiece that's equally comfortable in glam tablescapes and on homey butcher block counters. This rectangular tray, crafted from mango wood and polished bone inlay, is a true mixed-materials marvel. Use it to organise your napkins and serving ware, fill it with decorative balls or faux fruit, or deck it out with seasonal greenery during the holidays.

The Reese Wood Long Tray is modeled after the shape of an everyday barn trough and gorgeously unpretentious on any country or city table. This long, rectangular tray is exquisitely crafted from mango wood, with a beautiful ribbed exterior design for an elegant spin. Finished in a rich walnut color that emphasizes the unique wood grain.

Abstract Artwork

When decorating a home, pieces of abstract art can be the statement piece that your space needs. Abstract artwork creates a balance and harmony and is a great way to inject personality into your room. Whether you stick to a theme or select a single piece of art to compliment your space’s design, you can achieve a range of different styles—from bold and dramatic to understated and elegant.
