As you know, fall is just around the corner. As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, there is nothing quite like coming home to your cozy, comfortable space. It’s time to update your home decor to create a warmer and more inviting environment. You don't need to redo your entire space; adding a few thoughtful touches can make all the difference. Let’s put our summer decor pieces away and bring in the fall decor. Here are a few tips to help you create the perfect cozy space for fall in your home:
Candles
It’s time to stock up on all your favorite fall scents, filled with pumpkin, apple, cinnamon, bonfire, caramel, and more! Nothing makes a home feel cozier and more welcoming than the gentle flickering light of a candle combined with its pleasant aromas. If scented candles aren’t your thing, you can always opt for decorative candles to create the same warm ambiance. Alternatively, if you prefer essential oils, stock up on fall scents for your diffuser, such as fir, cedarwood, eucalyptus, vanilla, or cinnamon. The right scent can instantly elevate any room, and soon, all you’ll hear is, “What is that? It smells so good in here!”
Cozy Blankets
Nothing says fall quite like wrapping yourself in a warm, cozy blanket while reading, watching a holiday movie, sipping hot chocolate, or simply enjoying the company of others. Add some texture to your home by incorporating a faux fur, woven, or chunky knit blanket. Whether you’re curling up with a book, enjoying a cup of tea, or simply relaxing a cozy blanket will help you create a warm and welcoming environment to enjoy throughout the season.
Pillows
Add some zest to your home by incorporating different textures through your pillows. Fall textures can be anything from leather, faux fur, suede, velvet, linen, woven materials, or chunky knits. These textures can also be found in blankets, rugs, art pieces, or small decor items. Adding these personal touches will make your space literally feel inviting.
Rugs
As the weather cools down, you’ll probably start wearing fuzzy socks or slippers around the house. For those times when you don’t, consider adding a warm, fun rug to your space! A cozy rug not only ties a room together but also serves as a statement piece. A soft, warm rug can make a big difference in how your space feels. For a bohemian look, consider layering a smaller rug on top of a larger one.
Warm Colors
When you think of fall, what instantly comes to mind? Most of us picture leaves, pumpkins, warm fires, and flannels, all of which evoke a palette of warm, earthy colors. Incorporate shades of burnt orange, deep reds, golden yellows, browns, and pine greens throughout your home. These colors can be introduced through pillows, rugs, wall art, trinkets, or any decor that catches your eye. They are sure to bring the warmth and beauty of the season into your home.
Wall Art
Add personal touches to your space by incorporating unique art pieces on your walls. Update your frames to warm tones like brass, copper, gold, or even colorful wooden frames. Experiment with fall colors, textures, mirrors, vintage artwork, and quotes. You can even include fun holiday songs as part of your wall art to celebrate the season.
As fall approaches and the days become cozier, these simple decor tips can help transform your home into a warm and inviting haven. A few thoughtful additions can bring the essence of fall indoors, making every moment spent at home more enjoyable.
