Tuscan Home Decor gives your home an old time Italy feeling. Most of the colors used in Tuscan Decor are vibrant earthy tones. It can turn a kitchen into a small bistro or a living room into a Villa. This Style of home decor has been around for centuries. Hopefully
some of the ideas here will help you build your own little piece of Italy where ever you live.

Tuscan Kitchen Decor

Using Tuscan decor can turn any modern kitchen into a quaint little bistro. When picking a paint for the walls it is a good idea to go with dark reds or browns this will give you a more romantic feel believe it or not. Buy or empty a few wine bottles yourself and use
them as homemade candle holders. Coffee or espresso signs will add a more authentic feeling. If you are a wine person than you should invest in a cast iron wine holder that can be displayed somewhere in the kitchen. The best wine holder I have ever seen was cast iron with small gold and iron leaves hanging off making it appear like it was actually growing right there.

Tuscan Living Room Decor

While darker colors are great for the kitchen it is probably best to go with lighter earth tones in the living room especially if it is small since lighter colors make a room feel more open.Large framed mirrors will also make an room seem larger than it truly is. Chairs and couches with wooden feet are perfect in a Tuscan living room. Hang hand painted pictures of small towns or even flowers on the walls. Use ceramic vases and statues as small accents around the room. Heavy wooden furniture such as bookshelves,tables and desk make for great storage spaces.

Tuscan Bedroom Decor

A large wooden bed frame with tall post is a great start to decorating the bedroom with Tuscan decor. If wood isn’t really your style try a beautifully designed iron head board. All of the dressers and end tables should be made of dark heavy woods or again if you aren’t the wood type find end tables that use cast iron for a more delicate feminine look. The curtains should be big and fluffy. If you like to let the sun in try pulling them back with sturdy cloth ropes which can be purchased in many colors to go along with your color scheme.
To add a Tuscan feel in the bathroom use cooper a plated sink and fixtures. Many Tuscan home had large basin like tubs.Turning your home into the perfect Tuscan getaway is a great way to escape the madness of the modern world that waits outside your front door.
