Guide for Decorating Homes with Autumn Atmosphere
As the autumn leaves begin to fall, it's time to welcome the season with warm and inviting decor. Here's a guide to help you transform your home for the season, drawing inspiration from a fall shopping guide and our Weekly Favorites page.
Starting at the front door, a beautiful fall wreath can make the home feel more welcoming. Wreaths come in a variety of colours, such as burnt orange, deep golds, rich burgundy, cream, tan, and muted greens. You can opt for faux wreaths, which are a great investment as they last year after year and have many realistic options.
Once inside, a pretty fall table can warm up a kitchen or dining room. Warm, earthy tones and accents in copper, gold, or matte black can be used for dinnerware, while textured table runners or placemats can anchor a table setting. Grouping candles in various heights can make a big impact as a centerpiece, and lanterns, small bowls of acorns, and other home accents can also be used to tie the season together from room to room.
Updating home decor for fall involves adding warm, textured, and seasonal pieces. Cozy fabrics like wool, faux suede, and chenille can be mixed with classic patterns such as checks, plaids, and florals. Throw pillows are a quick way to bring in fall colour and texture without committing to big changes. Zippered covers are useful for easily swapping pillow looks throughout the seasons.
Chunky knits, brushed cottons, and wool blends are preferred for their texture and coziness. Plaids and herringbone patterns are classic choices for fall, but solid throws in rich colours can also be impactful. Draping a soft throw over a sofa, chair, or bench can make a room feel warm and inviting for fall.
Small seasonal accents like faux pumpkins can be easily sprinkled throughout the home without overwhelming the space. Grouping accents in odd numbers on a tray can create a pulled together look.
