Refreshing Your Home for the Fall Season
FIVE QUICK TIPS
As the leaves begin to change colours and a crisp chill fills the air, it's the perfect time to transform your home into a warm and inviting haven for the fall season.
Embracing the cozy vibes of autumn doesn't require a major overhaul; it's all about making subtle changes that infuse your living spaces with a touch of seasonal charm. In today’s post, we'll explore five key ways to refresh your home for fall: focusing on changing out artwork, adding new foliage, layering in pillows and throws, updating your scents, and displaying new coffee table books.
Change Out Artwork
Let's start with one of the simplest yet most effective ways to refresh your home for fall: changing out your artwork. Swapping out your artwork is like giving your walls a seasonal wardrobe update. Consider replacing bright and airy summer pieces with artwork that features warm, earthy tones, fall landscapes, or cozy scenes. Artwork with rich, deep colors can instantly create a more autumnal atmosphere in your home.
We love exploring Etsy for the perfect cost effective prints that you can swap into your existing frames. Check out AntiquePrintsCollection, Vibrant Vintage Prints, and Loft Museum for some great selections!
Add New Foliage
The fall season is all about nature's transformation, so why not bring a piece of the outdoors inside? Incorporating foliage into your interior design is a fantastic way to evoke the essence of fall.
Inside your home, swap out summer floral arrangements for oversized branches in vessels, seasonal produce displayed in ceramic bowls, or clusters of posies.
Layer in Pillows and Throws
As the temperatures drop, you'll want your living spaces to feel cozy and inviting. One of the easiest ways to achieve this is by layering in plush pillows and throws. Swap out lightweight summer textiles for heavier, textured options in shades of deep burgundy, burnt orange, and brown.
Consider adding handmade throw blankets with block prints to increase visual interest, and mix and match different textures to create a visually appealing and tactile experience. These layers not only provide physical warmth but also contribute to the overall cozy ambiance of your home.
Update Your Scents
The sense of smell plays a significant role in creating a welcoming atmosphere. To refresh your home for fall, update your scents to reflect the season. Swap out light and floral summer candles and diffusers for warm and comforting scents like sandalwood, cade, and rosemary leaf.
Some of our favourite soaps, candles and perfumes are from Lovefresh, Aesop, and Le Labo.
Display New Coffee Table Books
Coffee table books are not only sources of inspiration but also stylish accessories that can tie your living room together. For the fall season, consider updating your collection with any of these inspirational options: Heidi Caillier’s Memories of Home, Jake Arnold’s Redefining Comfort, or Carley Summers’ Sacred Spaces.
Displaying these books on your coffee table or bookshelves not only adds a seasonal touch but also provides your guests with thoughtful reading material. You can also pair them with decorative elements like candles or vessels with branches for a curated and inviting look.
Refreshing your home for the fall season is all about embracing the cozy, warm, and inviting atmosphere that this time of year brings. By changing out your artwork, adding new foliage, layering in pillows and throws, updating your scents, and displaying new coffee table books, you can create a home that reflects the beauty and charm of autumn. So, make your favourite cup of tea, pick up one of your newest coffee table books, and let's welcome this new season into our homes.
