With vibrantly colored leaves, crisp morning air, migrating birds, cozy sweaters, hayrides, apple orchards, and pumpkin spice treats, it’s no wonder Autumn tops the list of favorite seasons. Let nature inspire you and bring those wonderful fall feelings into your home just in time for the start of the holiday season!
Here are 5 ideas to get you started:
Appreciate the Harvest
The autumn harvest is full of beautiful shapes and colors that evoke visions of comforting meals and deliciously sweet treats. Decorating with pumpkins, squashes, gourds, ornamental corn, wheat shafts, apples, grapes, cranberries, and herbs will remind you that life is abundant and full of joys and treats.
Give Color to Your Home
Autumn is awash with warm, earthy colors that will bring your home a warm, earthy glow. Think rugs, curtains, table runners, flower arrangements, candles, artwork, blankets, pillows, and tabletop décor. Look for vibrant reds, cheery yellows, rusty oranges, deep greens, rich browns, and creamy tans.
Mix Patterns and Textures
Create coziness in your home with inspiration from your favorite cozy fall outfits. Mix plaids, flannels, cabled knits, rich leathers, faux fur, felted wool, and burlap to create layers of interest and warmth.
Bring Nature Indoors
Not only will collecting bits of nature be a wonderful activity, but displaying those items in your home will remind you of your wonderful outing every time you see them. Pressed leaves and flowers, pinecones, fallen fir branches, interesting sticks, acorns, nuts, bittersweet branches, rosehips, feathers, driftwood, snail shells, rocks, and wildflower seed heads all make beautiful arrangements.
It’s best to take items that have fallen naturally to the ground and avoid collecting in areas where you shouldn’t (like nature preserves or parks where it’s not allowed.)
Create Ambiance
Pull it all together with an air of a cozy life lived inside. Drape a throw blanket over the corner of a chair, light delightfully scented candles, bake fall treats, and use warm-colored lighting. Place inviting picture albums on the coffee table and a little snack on the kitchen countertop. And lastly, take a break, and relax in your warm, inviting fall home.
