Out with the old and in with the bold, gold, and orange colors! Fall is just around the corner, meaning it’s time to decorate with harvest moons and pumpkin patches in mind. Whether you’re attuned to autumn or shedding a tear as summer takes a bow, decorating for fall is easier than you might think. Consider the following simple but impactful ideas:
Draping a blanket over a couch, across a chair, or filling a basket with fleece or plaid options is an excellent way to cozy up your apartment and create a warm, inviting atmosphere. It’s practical, too; instead of reaching for the thermostat when the weather turns, reach for a spread.
Fall is filled with brown, yellow, red, maroon, and orange hues (coupled with blue if you’re a Bronco fan). But these colors do more than turn your home into an orchard oasis; they also have the power to disrupt stress and give the psyche a much-needed reset.
It’s not always easy to put summer things away. Knowing you won’t see your kayak for nearly a year might be enough to have all the warm weather feels. But out of sight isn’t just out of mind; it’s also out of your hair. Rather than storing things on a porch or in the corner of your spare room, aim to put them in a storage closet or, if needed, a storage unit.
There is something rustic about copper that helps us repeatedly fall for it. Adding some copper pieces to your living room or kitchen, whether in pots, flower vases, or trays, can produce an eye-catching visual effect and help your home channel its inner farmhouse.
Pumpkins are a mainstay of fall, and pumping them up can help things feel heartier. You can display them in various spots, from the porch to the bathroom, or use them in your crafts. Of course, faux pumpkins are more practical options than real ones…unless you want to replace your decor weekly. Art stores offer several glorious gourds.
Wreaths work for every season, but not every wreath works in autumn. Rather than keeping up your summer wreath or prematurely hanging up your holiday wreath, spring for a wreath designed for fall and help your front door make a warm statement. If you can’t find a wreath you like, craft your own; it’s easier than you might think.
From pumpkins to copper to cozy plaid blankets, it’s the season for autumn decor. Use the above tips to get inspiration and help your home welcome fall in a fun, festive way.
