We spend all fall seeking warm and inviting experiences, which makes it the perfect season to cozy up your own living space.
You have so many more options for bringing fall decor into your home besides maximizing orange pumpkins and red leaves. The goal is to create a space that feels authentic and personal, and not feel so commercial that you have to hide every piece away at the end of the season.
Seeking variety in your seasonal pieces will not only elevate your home's style this fall, it can also save money by allowing you to mix pieces across different seasons, even using them in various areas of the home throughout the year.
Here are some easy ways to achieve that fall feeling with minimal investment and maximum cozy results.
1. Add Layered Textures:
Task:Â Introduce plush throws and soft pillows to your living area.
How:Â Opt for materials like chunky knit blankets, velvets, and flannel or wool throws. Layer them on sofas and chairs.
Pro Tip:Â Choose colors that compliments your existing home palette while adding in creamy, sandy tones, and warm earthy neutrals. Jewel tones are a great surprise pop.
2. Incorporate Warm Lighting:
Task:Â Enhance your space with warm, ambient lighting.
How:Â Use lamps with warm-toned bulbs, consider candles for a soft glow, and for some fun, add string lights or fairy lights.
Pro Tip:Â Use candle holders in natural shapes or materials like metal or wood for added seasonal charm.
3. Jars and Vessels:
Task:Â Use the warmth and textures that jars, urns, and vases offer to add to your home's fall atmosphere. Update or add live or dried florals and branches in softer, warm tones.
How:Â The different colors, sizes, and heights of the vessels can be grouped together or spread throughout your home.
Pro Tip:Â Pair with candlesticks, picture frames, books, or a decorative box for final touches. Display the seasonal produce you'll use through the cooler months, like apples.
4. Repurpose Existing Pieces
Task:Â Display and style existing pieces in your home in a different way to suit the seasons.
How: Look your space (and your storage) over with fresh eyes for candles, bowls and jars, warm and neutral colored books, textured textiles, and general decor items with natural materials. Mix them into the communal and cozy spaces in your home. The combination of these pieces create a base for your own unique take on fall.
Pro Tip: Dried flowers and branches dispersed among these items helps them feel more styled. Consider pairing larger and smaller pieces together and pieces of different colors and materials for a more curated result.
5. A Few Fun Pieces:
Task:Â Part of the fun of changing seasons is the really fun, on the nose decor that comes with it! Now that you have a great base, enjoy adding a few fun pieces to your seasonal collection.
How:Â Consider where pieces will go, their scale, and how they relate to your style before purchasing.
Pro Tip:Â Use these statement pieces as focal points on your kitchen islands, dining, and coffee tables.
