It’s Fall y’all! Fall is all about a cozy comfort and creating inviting spaces that make you want to relax with a good book and a Pumpkin Spice Latte. Transition your home like a pro from summer to fall with these great tips!

1. Introducing Fall Colors into Your Home

One of the easiest ways to transition your home from summer to fall is by incorporating the rich, warm color palette. Think deep oranges, rustic reds, golden yellows, and earthy browns. Focus on smaller accents like throw pillows, blankets, and decorative items. Swap out your summer linens for warmer, cozier options in fall hues. Look for fabrics like wool, flannel, and faux fur to add texture and warmth. A new area rug in a neutral color can instantly transform a room to accommodate upcoming décor changes. Consider layering a cowhide to give a warmth and unique element to your décor. (Curious about rugs? Check out our last blog post: https://www.afd-furniture.com/rug-show-blog)

2. Lighting: Lamps and Candles

As the days get shorter, lighting becomes even more important in creating a welcoming atmosphere. Consider adding or updating lamps and sconces to provide softer, warmer light. Consider warm light bulbs or lamps with warm-toned shades to create a soft, inviting glow. Place them strategically in your living room, bedroom, and reading nooks.

Don’t forget, beautiful, scented candles are of course a must! Choose fragrances like apple cinnamon, pumpkin spice, or vanilla to fill your home with the aromas of the season.

2. Lighting: Lamps and Candles

Fall is known for its stunning foliage. Bringing these showstoppers indoors can enhance the seasonal feel. Decorate your mantel, doorways, or staircase with wreaths and garlands made from faux leaves, berries, and pinecones. A nature-inspired dining table center piece is a striking addition to your family meals and seasonal parties.

4. Autumn Art and Wall Decor

Switching up your decorative pieces can also help set the tone for the new season. Consider wall art that reflects fall themes and colors. Consider prints or paintings that depict fall landscapes, forests, animals or abstract pieces in autumnal colors.

5. Gourd-eous Additions!

To truly embrace the season, add those fall-specific decor pieces that celebrate the unique aspects of autumn, pumpkins and gourds! These classic fall staples can be used throughout from your front porch to the dining table! Use bright orange jack o’ lantern style pumpkins to add some quirk or sleek, neutral gourds and pumpkins for fall sophistication.

Conclusion

It’s time to FALL back in love with your home décor! By introducing fall colors, updating your lighting, incorporating foliage-inspired elements, adding cozy accessories, and embracing fall-specific pieces, you can create a space that's perfect for enjoying the beauty and coziness of autumn. Happy decorating!
