If you were wondering when to start decorating for fall, you are right on track! As we prepare to move from September to October the air is beginning to feel cooler and the leaves are starting to fall. These are signs that it is time to exchange the bright summer decor for cozy alternatives. As you settle into your new home, there is no better time to infuse it with the spirit of fall. Here are some decorating ideas to transform your space into a welcoming and inviting retreat for you and all your guests.
Adding a doormat is one quick and easy way to add a little character to your home. Not only are they useful to prevent tracking dirt and mud into the home, but they also contribute to the overall aesthetic. Choose from a variety of styles at local stores, or turn it into a fun craft project. Try painting directly onto a doormat for a personalized welcome into your home. Think of seasonal designs like spooky ghosts, plump pumpkins, or colorful leaves for a festive touch.
Enhance your outdoor space with fall-themed planters placed on either side of your front door. Use seasonal plants like mums, pansies, or ornamental grasses. These planters will not only boost your curb appeal but also set the tone for your home.
To continue dressing up the exterior of your home, consider adding a wreath to your front door. Wreaths can be easily adapted for every season. An arrangement crafted with autumn leaves, apples, baskets, or wheat adds a warm touch to the exterior of your home.
Get ready to showcase your new home with gatherings this fall season. The autumn season was built to entertain whether it is a football watch party, Thanksgiving dinner, or a Halloween party. The brisk weather often moves the group inside, so prepare for indoor guests. Set up a stylish bar cart stocked with autumn-inspired drinks and snacks to make entertaining guests effortless and enjoyable.
There is nothing cozier than a blanket and a warm mug by a crackling fire. If you have a fireplace, I encourage you to make it the focal point of your living room this season. Arrange your seating around it, so all your guests can enjoy the warmth. To go the extra mile, decorate the mantle with fall-themed items.
You do not have to break the bank to create a warm, seasonal atmosphere. While carving pumpkins is a classic, there are countless creative ways to incorporate them into your decor. For a chic and elegant touch, apply Mod Podge to white pumpkins and press colorful leaves or flowers onto them. This creates a lovely design that adds charm to your new home.
What if I told you that you could decorate for autumn without ever stepping foot into a store? That’s right. Nature provides all the elements you need for stunning fall arrangements. Gather natural elements like pinecones, leaves, or branches to create beautiful centerpieces, or incorporate flowers and gourds to adorn shelves and mantels. You could even fill a bowl with veggies for a farmhouse vibe.
A simple shift in color palette can completely transform your space. Embrace the rich and vibrant colors of fall, such as burnt orange, deep red, forest green, and mustard yellow. Use these hues in your paint, fabrics, and accessories to create a relaxing ambiance.
As the temperature drops and the air feels crisper, cuddling up on the couch becomes more and more tempting. You can aid this desire with a surplus of blankets and throw pillows ready for use—layer blankets and pillows in soft, autumnal fabrics like flannel, wool, or velvet. Opt for colors and patterns that complement your overall decor, such as plaid, cable knit, or leaf prints. The more the merrier.
Incorporate candles and candlesticks in various sizes and shapes to create a warm and inviting ambiance. Choose scents like cinnamon, apple, or pumpkin spice to engage all five senses and enhance the fall feeling. Check out Benefits of Natural Light in your home as well.
When in doubt, place pumpkins and gourds throughout your home. They make great additions both inside and outside the home, filling any open spaces that are craving some extra flare. For example, you can create a pumpkin table runner, display them on shelves, or use them as centerpieces.
There is so much room to experiment and have fun while decorating your home for the fall season. From DIY projects to refreshing color themes, you will soon find your space brimming with the spirit of the season. So snuggle up and enjoy your new home in the season of pumpkin, spice, and everything nice! Check out our Fall Maintenance Checklist in the meantime.
