Fall is right around the corner. You know what that means - cooler, crisper nights, bright, clear days, and changing colors. And it brings with it all the fun and fresh feelings of anticipation!
The change in seasons also means it’s time to break out the fall decorations. If you’re looking for some ways to add some cozy touches to your home, start with these ideas for autumn decor and other tips for sprucing up your home!
Fall Wreaths and Garlands
We recommend using these wreaths under a covered outdoor area or inside - they look amazing on windows, using our suction hanger, on a wall as a centerpiece, or on the front or interior doors.
The front door is key to setting the mood for your home. Instantly capture the spirit of fall with a welcoming fall wreath.
A fall-themed wreath, like our Tobacco Leaf Wreath, is a great place to start. Simply hang this on your front door on its own, or encase the entryway with some fall garlands, and you’re good to go.
We love coordinating a fall garland with the wreath and these adorable gold bells as accents to have a simple yet stunning look.
Focus on the Color Palette
As you enter your home’s interior spaces, remember that a warm color palette is the most important aspect to bring the feeling of fall.
Often, you can simply switch out what you have on display for similar things in a different color and that will make all the difference.
For instance, in your dining room, switch out the tablecloth and place settings for warmer on-trend earth tones like purple, green, cream and burnt orange, and you’ll have an instant fall-feel. Add a few earth toned elements like the ones below, and you’ll have an instant homey and fallish feel.
You can also swap out your throws and pillows for an easy fall decor facelift.
The same goes for the other rooms in the house. Change the bed spreads, the throws and pillows, and the accents you have in other rooms for alternatives in warmer, earthier fall colors to see the difference.
Add Some Fall Picks and Sprays with your Pumpkins
Fall picks and sprays represent a unique and exceptionally versatile way to breathe some autumn spirit into your home without actually adding fall decorations.
Suppose you have a decorative vase or pitcher out somewhere in your home. Add some fall-themed picks or even sprays to instantly transform the feeling.
Deck the Walls for Fall
Bare walls are basically a blank canvas for creativity, and any wall space that’s conspicuously bare also represents a golden opportunity to add more life and color to a room.
While fall wreaths are good as wall decor, there are other sorts of fall decorations that make great wall art, too, like Thanksgiving and Halloween-themed wall signs. (Fall wreaths are great as internal wall decor, too).
Check out our collection of wall signs that make great additions to the rest of our fall decorations.
Fall Accents to Love Year After Year
Fall accents and resin figures, like resin pumpkins, glass owls and pumpkins, lanterns, and fabric gnomes, make nice little additions pretty much anywhere you need a little extra fall charm.
Take a look around the room. Anywhere you have bare space - tabletops, desktops, shelves, ledges, anything like that - is a great spot to throw in some fall accents and ornaments.
Change Up the Lighting
Here’s a quick tip for you. The coziness of fall decor comes in part from the lighting. Though it isn’t technically autumn decor, one way you can improve the feel of a setting is by adding mood lighting.
You can do this by adding fall-themed string lights in a warm color temperature - or, more easily, by changing the bulbs in your task lighting.
That is, table and floor lamps - if you swap out the bulbs for bulbs in a higher color temperature, you’ll make the whole scene feel warmer, which is perfect for fall.
The Power of Scent
Last but not least, don’t overlook the power of scent in making a setting feel like fall.
Spiced pumpkin, cinnamon and apples, and crisp fall leaves, or even our signature Decorator’s Warehouse scented candles are just a few of the different notes that immediately make people think of fall, and they have more of an impact than you might think.
Placing fall-scented candles out in the open will infuse the space with a subtle scent that, if chosen perfectly, will tie all your fall decorations together.
