Fall is the best time of year to incorporate natural elements in your home. There are many ways to liven up your home décor by bringing nature inside. Fall can be embodied through color and foliage choices, along with patterns and small décor.
- Inspired by food. Fall is full of warm hearty meals, using seasonal vegetables and spices. Gather inspiration from the food that the fall season offers. Instead of using your pumpkins for pumpkin pie, place them in vingettes around the house with some of the other gourds you may want to bake – acorn squash, butternut squash, etc. Or display these gourds in arrangements by layering them in multi-height glass vases. You can even forgo more pie to add some apples for a burst of color in your displays.
- Cinnamon & Spice and everything nice. Cinnamon is not only a delicious flavor and spice that can do wonders to scent your home, but it is also a color that embodies the feelings of fall. Change your summer curtains to a pair of drapes that ooze warmth by choosing a rich cinnamon color. Add a few new throw pillows to your sofa in shades of rust, plum or chocolate brown, or add a playful plaid pattern or highly textured tweed pillow or throw in green and orange tones to bring additional fall tones to your room. Textiles and fabric embody the warmth that people seek in colder months and can add a huge style statement to any room.
- Make it or Break it. Accessories can not only make or break an outfit, but they can do the same for a design! Choose your accessories wisely! Candles are a must have for fall. Whether plain ivory or in a palette of warm colors, arrange them lit or unlit for a fabulous statement. Add some dried (or fake!) fall leaves scattered around or in a vase, some faux acorns, twiggy branches touched with glitter or leaves and even fall-inspired flowers like mums or hydrangea.
