Creole architecture for many brings to mind the intricate wrought iron, the length of the window (to cover the window during its initial storm), large windows and doors (these are designed larger than typical homes in other parts of the country to make breezeways for wind coming through in the scorching summer of the month), and bright colors that you are unlikely to find in most million-dollar environments. The architectural style and décor of this House are also famous for its large balconies-also with wrought iron fences.
The amazing thing about the Creole style home decor is that there is no one feature that can be identified as the label design style as Vivid Creole. Lagniappe is the term that people here quite often in and around New Orleans. For those who do not know, it means "little something extra ". From the extra donuts to the freebie markers and a lot of things in between, that something a little extra has a long history in New Orleans of architecture for music there always seems to be a little something extra that you can't get elsewhere.
The style of Creole interior design is also very similar. Some consider it striking but locals consider that a little something extra and that. You may find a little Gothic style, a bit of jazz, and a whole lot of Mardi Gras in one room and quite all true as you get all of it and just a little lagniappe as well. Home decorating in the Creole country is a form of art that defies logic and has not made sense to the rich culture and heritage that it encompasses.
For those who need a little inspiration that would love to incorporate a little Cajun or Creole seasoning into their living space, perhaps the following suggestion will prove to help.
1) Red peppers. Nothing says seasoning quite like red pepper. There are all kinds of items that you can find with red peppers in it today from the border wallpaper for hand-blown glass peppers, jars, pot holders, kitchen towels, string lights to the patio-even kitchen tubes decorated with red peppers. There is a wide variety of options available to incorporate this theme into your home or one room of your house.
2) Music notes. Most people can not think of the Cajun state without thinking of music calling this great part of the country home. Music notes are a great way to symbolize the music that makes New Orleans famous.
3) Mardi Gras masks. Many people find that New Orleans symbolizes Mardi Gras in their hearts and minds even though New Orleans was not the birthplace of the Mardi Gras. Masks are the way that people from around the country can bring ' the spirit of New Orleans home with them and decorate their homes with attitudes that can only be referred to as Creole in many hearts and minds.
4) food. Believe it or not the food is as much part of the Creole house as other design elements. For this reason a French Creole style kitchen is often a way to go when it comes to home decor in Creole fashion. The kitchen is the heart of a Cajun house and the food is what makes the heart. Use jars of nuts, rice, pasta, and other Lagniappe as part of the overall design and you'll probably just be amazed at how the Creole room starts to look.
The most important thing to remember is that Creole is more of an attitude than a style of design. Bring the attitude of the "Don't worry " into your home design features and you will have the true Creole style for an art.
