It’s boot wearing, leaf crunching, spiced cider drinking weather. It’s time to transition our home decorating ideas from Summer to Fall.
Here's a few Fall decorating tips:
Lighting
As the days get shorter and we find ourselves in the dark earlier, quality light fixtures in our design becomes even more important. You can add a vibrantly colored jewel toned lamp for warmth and color.
Another sure fire way to bring on a cozy fall home is by lighting a roaring fire and raising a glass in a toast.
Get Cozy
Crisp fall weather calls for places to curl up. Stacks of accent pillows and cozy throws are perfect for curling up with a hot chocolate and a good book.
Quick Change
Swap out you wall art with warmer colors or consider displaying a collection of pressed leaves.
Nature
Instead of a vase full of flowers, cut a few vibrantly colored branches and add them to your favorite pitcher or display a basket full of firewood on the hearth. Fill a big wooden bowl with gourds, pumpkins or pears for a simple centerpiece.
Texture
Think suede, velvet, and nubby knits on a sofa and layer bedding to create levels of warmth and color.
Rustic
Incorporate natural wood accents to add character to any room. Whether it’s an antique dresser turned into a media cabinet, a tree stump used as a unique side table, or a chunky wooden tray to set on top of an ottoman, the natural tones of wood will warm up your space instantly.
Scents
Nothing beats the smell of freshly baked pie but you can fake it with a heavenly scented Fall candles.
Windows
If your windows are bare or covered in sheers, hang heavier drapes with more color and textures while keeping the cold at bay.
Accessorize
Switch out any coastal accessories and display more earth-toned pieces in interesting textures like copper or tarnished silver.
