Decorating Your Home for the Fall Season

Fall brings a fresh change of seasons to the year, introducing the abundant harvest as the leaves slowly turn from yellow to brown. As the temperature drops and it’s time to move indoors for gatherings and just cozying up, it’s a great time to freshen up the dÃ?©cor around your home. Even if it’s just a touch of rich red brown, burnt orange, or some simple fall foliage, there are many subtle and bold ways to celebrate the season in style!

Today’s home fashions can offer a wide range of browns, earth tones, and deep, luxurious colors to create a soft and cozy feel. No matter what size the room, or how cluttered it may already be, there’s always room for creating a uniquely themed space. Try out some of these easy tips and strategies to decorate different rooms in your home this fall season:

� Accentuate your couch and seating areas in the living room with plush pillows in chocolate, burgundy, and deep orange tones. Offset the pillows and cushions with a throw or blanket in a contrast color. Another great idea is to buy a fresh slipcover or fabric covering for your sofa or loveseat.

� Add a vase of dried flowers, leaf assortments, or other fall brush as tabletop centerpieces and side tables.

� Begin collecting miniature gourds and even pine cones to display in medium-sized baskets. These look great on mantels, near fireplaces, and on doorsteps.

âÂ?¢ Purchase a fall wreath and hang it on your door. There’s no better way to celebrate autumn than displaying a wreath full of a cornucopia of gourds, pumpkins, and leaves.

� Look for artificial fruits and vegetables in earth tones and vibrant fall-inspired palettes. Think of assortments of apples, pumpkins, yellow corn, and even strings of pinecones.

� Light up the porch with some gold and orange lights, a pumpkin/gourd display, and oversized vases filled with dry foliage.

� Add some pumpkin spice candles and cinnamon scents to your bathrooms, and even kitchen. These scents can create a feeling of warmth and comfort.

� Create a real cornucopia of artificial fruits and vegetables as a centerpiece for the dining room. This is a great addition when you have guests over, and sits beautifully between golden candles for an evening meal.

� Add layers of warm blankets to bedrooms, and try and include rich reds, dark browns, and deep orange for some Fall inspiration.

� Buy some new kitchen and dining accessories in the Fall spirit. Think of coasters, napkins, and tablecloths in the key Fall theme colors.

The easiest way to get you into the autumn spirit is to host a harvest dinner or potluck for friends and family! The warm environment may spark some collective interest in trying out some fresh Fall food and have you decorating your home suitable for guests. You’ll be creating some excitement as the holidays approach. Enjoy the abundance of Fall with some creativity, and perhaps even a fresh perspective!
