Fall-colored foliage isn’t just for the outside of your home. Add warm autumnal hues to your living room as well by decorating your mantel with leaf garland, fall florals, and brass accents.
Adding seasonal throw pillows to your living room and bedrooms is a subtle way to transition your home from summer to fall. The introduction of new patterns and textures will warm up your space. Experiment with velvet, knit, and faux fur.
The easiest way to transform your home for fall is to stock up on fall aromas. Pumpkin, cinnamon, apple, vanilla, and cedar fragrances are must-have scents to get you in the mood for the upcoming seasonal festivities. Purchase candles, mists, oils, or incense to make your home more inviting this autumn.
Mums are a necessity during the fall season. Their autumnal shades decorate outdoor spaces with ease. They’re sun-loving plants that require little maintenance—which is why they’re so popular. Place them inside a hollow pumpkin, a wicker basket, or a silver planter to fulfill your front porch dreams.
Pumpkins and gourds are in season—and they’ve inspired many fall arrangements. Whether you use them as garland, planters, tablescape decorations, or centerpieces, they will be a beautiful addition to your autumnal atmosphere.
The beginning of fall is the perfect time to wash your summer bedding and store it away for the remainder of the year. Replace cotton or linen sheets with flannel sheets and trade thin quilts and blankets for duvets and comforters. If you want to be even more cozy, add extra layers to your bedding—heated blankets and mattress pads if you’re cold-natured!
Now that everyone has spent the past few years white-washing their homes, we expect dark florals to be a big hit this season. Burgundy and brown stems will be the way to go for centerpieces and entryway arrangements. You may consider something lighter for your front door wreaths, but throughout the house, keep your florals simple.
These darker-toned florals are perfect for an understated fall season. Anything too loud can be a little tacky. Consider burgundy eucalyptus or jade for your centerpieces. These will go perfectly with your seasonal mums! Just don’t go overboard with the dark florals, otherwise, your home may start to look like a gothic romance novel.
Autumn tablescapes can transform your kitchen and dining area for fall. Even if you don’t plan on hosting a festive dinner party, fall tableware can still be used as decoration. With the help of patterned table linens, pretty dishes, fresh flowers, and fragrance-free candles, your table will be dressed to impress.
Outdoor living spaces are perfect for warm weather, but when it becomes too cold to enjoy your patio or deck, you’ll need to properly maintain and store your outdoor furniture. Clean and make needed repairs to tables and chairs before relocating them to a storage shed or garage for the colder months! When spring rolls around, your outdoor furniture will be ready to use!
Spring cleaning is great, but have you ever thought about decluttering in the fall? It’s likely you’re already rearranging your closet so you have easy access to your favorite fall staples—so why not declutter in the process? It’s the perfect time to purge all of the clothes and shoes you no longer wear.
Nothing is more relaxing on a cool day than the natural comfort of a rustic lodge. People from different places put their own spin on this design style, but one of our favorites is the understated comfort that comes from the Nordic lodge style. This trend features all of the creature comforts of other lodge styles, like natural wood tones and rustic design elements.
But what sets it apart is its direct approach to furnishings and finishes. Unlike other lodge styles, the Nordic lodge uses subdued cool tones and neutrals to enhance rustic elements like unfinished wood, or “live edge.” If you’re not into the stereotypical oranges and browns, this may just be the direction to take your home décor this fall.
When the temperature drops below 50 degrees, it’s time to bring your houseplants indoors. They don’t adjust well to sudden changes in temperature and humidity, which is why they need to be relocated during the cooler months. This is also an excuse to debug and repot plants that have acquired unwanted pests and grown over the summer.
There’s nothing better than curling up on the couch with a nice cozy blanket. In fact, the best way to start the season is by finding a new one to use all season! Switch out your day-to-day throws and linens for chunky knit blankets to maximize the coziness of your home! You can find blankets in all different knit sizes, so mix and match.
Oversized, jumbo knits make the perfect throws for loveseats or armchairs. Everyone who comes to visit won’t be able to resist wrapping up and hanging out a while. The great thing about a chunky knit is that it’s a little more breathable than a standard knit. While still keeping you warm, you’ll still be able to feel a little bit of a breeze.
This DIY is versatile. Your chalkboard sign can welcome guests to your home, express your gratitude during the holiday season, or illustrate your go-to fall drink or dinner recipe. Regardless of what you use your chalkboard for, it can be added to your collection of fall decor.
Decorating the outside of your home is just as important as decorating the inside. And because the front porch is the first thing your guests will see when they come to visit, it should set the tone for your seasonal decorations. Cozy quilts, carved pumpkins, and colorful plants will give your porch the autumn makeover it deserves.
Use wicker baskets to dress up your home for fall. Fill them with pumpkins and gourds, colorful fall florals, or comfy blankets--this will take an ordinary room and make it a cozy fall wonderland!
It’s completely okay to be opposed to the bright oranges and yellows that traditionally accompany fall decor. Instead, filter in earth tone accents. Deep greens, grayish blues, burgundies, and plums are other fall-inspired hues that will transition your home for the cooler weather.
From your front porch to the fireplace mantel, lanterns are an easy way to bring in the fall season. Add some remote-control candles and stick these above your cabinets or throughout your home for a little ambiance. What’s great about this trend is that the same lanterns can be used throughout the holidays too! So, if you’re looking for a staple décor trend, this is one of the best ones.
You can find these lanterns in many different sizes. Shop around a bit to find them for a good price. We suggest keeping them in a simple black or white color. Anything too loud may take away from your other décor. You can even find these at Walmart and the dollar store for cheap! If you grow tired of them, spray paint them a new color and then they’re good as new.
Your home is the place you go to escape the cold weather, which is why it’s important to weatherproof your windows and doors before fall arrives. You can prevent drafts by purchasing weatherstrips, insulated curtains, and door draft stoppers. These are easy, affordable, and effective ways to keep out the chill.
Door mats are easily worn out. While you’re revamping your entryway, replace yours with a new rug. It’ll refresh your front porch and update the exterior of your home. Bonus points if you purchase a fall-themed doormat!
Colder weather requires extra layers of clothing. Coats, jackets, scarves, and hats are worn regularly to protect you from freezing temperatures and inclement weather. But when you get home, where do you toss these items? Adding a standing or mounted coat rack to your entryway will provide a designated space for your winter gear.
Burlap has dominated fall décor for quite some time now, and we must admit…we’re ready for a break. This year we’re switching things up with something new. Velvet is the new burlap! From crushed velvet to regular velvet, expect to see this fabric almost everywhere! Just like burlap got a little worn out, only use this trend here and there.
Too much of a good thing isn’t a good thing anymore! As for color, you can find velvet in almost every hue. Burgandy, emerald, and turquoise may be a good place to start this season. We’re predicting that the fall color palette this season will feature darker accent colors. Consider using velvet for a table runner, throw, or even throw pillow.
If you plan to have a get-together with friends and family this fall, decorate your bar cart according to the season. Candles, pumpkins, and bright floral arrangements will complement your copper Moscow mule mugs and brown ales.
Winterizing your lawn mower before storing it for the colder months will increase its longevity. After you trim your yard for the final time, either empty the gas out of the tank or use fuel stabilizer to prevent the gas from degrading. If you own a lawn tractor, remove the battery and bring it indoors. Then clean filters, sharpen blades, and wipe over your mower.
