It’s that time of year. The leaves are turning and carpeting the streets with vibrant colors. As the cooler weather prompts us to spend more time indoors, this week on the blog, we are discussing some great fall decorating ideas for your home.
Say goodbye to burnt orange, as a new shade takes over for the fall. Earthy greens, deep mauve, rust, and marigold are the colours of the fall, according to designers this season.
This variation of colors can be used throughout your home in various ways. From committing to the fall scheme by painting walls or perhaps a statement wall, to adding notes of fall within your decor. Earthly tones in particular are popular this time of year and help to bring the fall feeling inside.
Fall can be seen more literally throughout your home with pumpkins, gourds, and squash! While these ingredients are great for soups or side dishes this fall, they also make budget-friendly decor to spruce up your front door, or the centerpiece of your dining table. Gather a collection of these items to complement your space and get creative. Remember, pumpkins do not have to be orange. They also come in white and teal… You can even paint them so they match the exact color you are going for, or write inspiring notes on them if you’d like to be extra crafty.
If you don't have a picture wall, this is a great opportunity to create one. Display the memories that bring you joy. Not only will they bring a smile to your face, but they will also bring personality to your space. If you already have a picture wall, consider switching out some of your pictures with fall-themed ones instead. Good examples include your children playing in the fall leaves, the fall foliage in reds and oranges, or fields of hay that bring warmth. Fall is all about color and texture, so get creative! If the design is holding you back, check out these picture walls for added inspiration.
Don’t forget to appeal to all of your senses to help transform your space. Aromas can help a space transition smoothly into the next season. Your go-to smells should be apples, oranges, cinnamon, and pumpkin. While you can easily buy candles or wax melts at any home store, you can also brew your own potpourri on the stovetop or in a slow cooker. Check out the recipes here to help create the perfect ambiance. Once you’re done, grab a blanket and a hot drink and relax.
Add a blanket or two to your space. Have a designated space for your comfy slippers. Stock up on hot chocolate and warming teas, and get ready to cozy up in your newly decorated apartment. After all, enjoying the space is what it’s all about.
Fall is magical, and for many people, it's a season they look forward to all year. Your home is the perfect place to make the most of it. Don’t forget the hot cocoa and apple cider donuts!
