MAKE
A STATEMENT WITH BOLD COLORS.
One
of the best parts of fall is the rich colors that come along with the season.
Bring those colors inside to make a beautiful impact in your home. If you like
to really make a statement, look for boldly colored furniture or undertake the
project of painting. Fall is the perfect time of year to paint your home due to
low humidity levels. If you don’t feel like doing an entire room, consider the
depth a deep burgundy or burnt orange accent wall would bring to any room. If
subtlety is more your style, add in small pops of bold colors. This can be
achieved with flowers, pillows, blankets, rugs and decorative pieces.
INSTALL
COPPER ACCENTS.
Adding
touches of copper throughout your home is an easy way to bring fall inside. In
your kitchen, this means with serving bowls and utensils, pans and Moscow mule
mugs. Throughout the rest of your home, you can add in pieces like copper
picture frames, framed mirrors, and vases. For an even more subtle touch,
replace your current drawer and cabinet knobs with copper styles for a fun yet sophisticated
look.
USE DIFFERENT MATERIALS.
Bringing
fall inside your home is all about boldness and texture. There is no easier way
to accomplish this than by mixing different materials into your decor. This can
be done in a variety of ways. Like, changing your sofa to one made with leather or
chenille material to match the season’s tone. You can also switch your rugs to
shag or wool to complement the coziness that comes along with fall weather.
Texture can also be added through glass or painted vases, metal frames, flannel
blankets and fluffy decorative pillows.
USE
FALL SCENTS.
The
staple scents of fall are undoubtedly one of the best parts of the season.
Bringing them into your home is a surefire way to make it feel like fall
inside. For the more traditional people, this means firing up your oven and
filling the house with the natural smell of freshly baked pies and apple crisp.
Then there are candles. Everyone loves candles, both for the smell and the warm
glow they emit. Pick and light your favorite fall scent and settle in for a cozy,
relaxing night at home. If you’re in need of a more constant source, try a
diffuser. You can buy fall blends or mix essential oils to create your own.
HAVE
FUN SEASONAL ACCESSORIES.
From
pumpkin patches to holidays, there is so much fun that fall has to offer. Bring
that fun into your home with decorations that speak to the season. Scatter
sunflowers and items adorned with them throughout your space for a fall floral
touch. Of course, you also have to include the iconic symbol of fall: pumpkins.
Display painted or carved ones for some whimsy or baby ones for cute accents.
Whether you go to a farm and purchase real ones or buy artificial ones from a
craft store, nothing says “it’s fall” quite like using pumpkins as decoration.
Whatever you decide to include, embrace it and have fun with it!
