Taking your home decor from summer to fall can be tricky, especially in September. While the calendar may say it’s no longer summer, the heat can tell a different story. I think there should be a subtle transition from white slipcovers and seashells to pumpkins and Pilgrims. It's a challenge to furnish your home for fall while the weather is still warm!
Most of us are never quite ready to give up lazy, warm afternoons and dinner outdoors, so start slow.

Living rooms can be subtly switched over to fall with the addition of an area rug or cowhide placed over the summer sisal. Natural woods also provide a perfect neutral to bridge the two seasons. I love the matching lamp set featured in the interior photo above. The natural materials look great in all seasons but the lighter linen lamp shades keep the room fresh for the remaining warmer days that follow into fall.

Bedrooms can also exhibit subtle decor changes from season to season. Creating a new look can be as simple as adding a warmer-toned throw or by introducing darker accessories in a lighter-hued room. Note the bronze bedside lamps on top of a woven rattan bedside table that still “reads” summer. Feathering in creamy or beige bedding into an all white bedding scheme can also help take your home decor from summer to fall.

Classic fall colors can also be introduced in such a way as to still seem fresh and appropriate for summer. Try tangerine instead of burnt orange or cinnamon against crisp whites.
