The crisp morning air and the crunch of leaves underfoot can only mean one thing: Fall is approaching!
As we transition into cooler days and longer nights, bringing some autumn-inspired colors and trends into your home can be a great way to embrace the new season.
Let's explore how you can fall into fall with some simple changes around the house.
Warm, earthy neutrals
When you think of fall, what's the first thing that comes to mind? If you're anything like us, it's probably the gorgeous display of colors Mother Nature puts on every year.
Although terracotta and rust-based shades have been a major trend all year long, now is truly the perfect time to bring the cozy palette into your own home. Consider more neutral shades and those warm colors that really personify the feeling of drinking apple cider by the fire. If you find yourself stuck, take a look at the trees around your house and pick the colors that speak to you most. There's hardly a more true-to-form way to build your very own autumn color palette.
One easy way to incorporate these shades into your living space is swapping out your pillows or even filling vases with dried or artificial flowers. Or, take it a step further and introduce an accent wall featuring a warm shade of maroon.
Getting creative with your space
After spending so much time indoors, many have started to reimagine how they're using space around the home.
As interior designer Natalie Papier told the Spruce, "I think the whole idea of formal spaces in general is kind of going by the wayside. We want spaces we can use and live in, and that reflect our personalities and feel overall more joyful."
If you have a dining room that only sees guests once a year, why not turn it into that library or home office you've always wanted? Rather than doing a complete overhaul of your space, another option growing in popularity is leveraging decorative partitions and placing shelves creatively to divide the space into different sections.
Fun and eye-catching textures
As the weather begins to turn, comfy fabrics and textures that just scream "cozy on up" are a must. Try experimenting with layers, using chunky knitted blankets and pillows with velvet and other textured fabrics to create a welcome fall atmosphere.
A word to the wise: Don't be afraid to mix and match. Introducing a variety of different textures can be an easy way to create a one-of-a-kind look that exemplifies your style.
