As the leaves begin to fall (get it, because it’s Fall?), it’s the perfect time to cozy up your home and welcome Fall in style. Whether Fall is your favorite season, or you just want to spruce up your space because you have a lot of free time to do that (lucky you), transforming your home to mimic the cozy “sweater weather” outside is easier than ever.
So, put on your comfiest Uggs and place an order for a Venti Pumpkin Spice Latte because you have a lot of work to do.
Switch Up Your Decor to Welcome Fall in Style
Take out all your autumnal-colored decorations like oranges, reds, and browns. Think throw pillows, blankets, curtains, and table runners. Decking your home with all these colors will automatically make your home feel ready for the Fall season. Make sure to also enhance your home’s lighting and add more light sources such as table and floor lamps since the days are getting shorter. Also, change your light bulbs to warmer tones to create a cozy ambiance.
Add Seasonal Scents
You know how there’s a certain smell in the air when it’s the Fall season? Welcome Fall in style by bringing this scent in by lighting candles or putting essential oils in your trusty humidifier that smells like cinnamon, apple, or pumpkin spice. Better yet, bake some pumpkin or apple pie every day to fill your home with the delicious scents of Fall.
Change your Bedding
Swap out light summer lines for heavier, warmer fabrics. Stow away your cotton and trade it for flannel or wool to keep your toes warm and toasty as temperatures drop. Bundle and cuddle up: winter is coming (high five if you get that reference!).
Prep your Fireplace
If you have a fireplace, make sure it’s clean and ready for use. After all, it wouldn’t be long, and you’ll also soon hang some red stockings around it to welcome jolly St. Nick.
Bring in Natural Elements
Aside from decorating your house in autumnal colors, bring in natural elements. Decorate your home with pinecones, acorns, and other plants that remind you of autumn. A vase of fresh or faux red and orange flowers with brown leaves can brighten your space.
Change out your Rugs
Rugs with reds, oranges, and browns aren’t just to decorate your home for the season; they’re also functional and serve the purpose of keeping your floors cozy and your toes warm—welcome Fall in style by replacing thin summer rugs with thicker, warmer, and fluffier ones.
Prepare your Entryway
Greet your guests with a seasonal welcome mat and some fall-themed decor like a wreath or pumpkin decorations to your front door. The pumpkins will also come in handy come Halloween time, you just need to switch the decors a bit to make it spookier and look more “Halloween-y.”
Organize your Closet
Make room for fall and winter clothes by keeping your lighter summer clothing in the garage. Fall’s the fashionista’s favorite season because it’s the season for sweaters, scarves, red berets (Emily in Paris will be so proud) and boots.
Prepare your Outdoor Space
Prepare your garden or outdoor patio by clearing out dead plants, trimming the trees and bushes, and adding some fall-specific decor or planters. Since the weather’s becoming nicer, you’ll probably spend a lot of time outdoors. Whether it’s to drink hot cocoa or to make s’mores, your outdoor space must be ready to entertain guests.
