10 simple fall ideas to rejuvenate your home
1. Get cozy with some throw blankets. Drape them over your furniture or keep them in a basket by the fireplace. They’re perfect for snuggling up with on a chilly day. This Battilo Home throw blanket comes in many different colors, though we really like this orange one. It’s soft and lightweight so it’ll stay in place on the couch while providing protection from those chilly fall nights around mid-October through November! Pair this burnt orange rust color blanket with a deep brown backdrop against a light fabric couch – and you’ll get that boho rustic look you’ve always dreamed of.
2. Focus on colors. Add some warmth to your decor with rich, autumnal colors like deep reds, oranges, and yellows. You can incorporate these colors through pillows, rugs, curtains, or even paintings or photographs. Or if you prefer a gray minimalist look, you can decorate with black, white and neutral tones. The best way to do this is perhaps by using contrasting colors to your home. If your home already has the modern-grayed out appearance, then go for rich autumnal colors like deep reds or oranges.
3. Bring the outdoors in with some fall foliage. You can find fake leaves at most craft stores, or you can go on a nature walk and gather some real ones. Once you have your leaves, you can put them in vases, string them up as garlands, or use them to make wreaths or centerpieces. Or if your neighborhood is lacking a variety of nice leaves, then you can always buy an assortment of pressed leaves in different colors and shapes here.
4. Decorate your mantel or coffee table with pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. You can paint them, carve them, or leave them plain – it’s up to you!
5. Go outside and collect a bowl of acorns and pinecones. Put them inside a glass apothecary jar (or any glass cannister) and you’ve got yourself a centerpiece or decoration for your mantle or coffee table. It’s the cheapest way to inject some autumnal vibes into your home.
Hang some festive banners or signs that say things like “Hello Fall” or “Welcome Autumn” near your front door or in your living room. Putting up some autumn-themed banners is an easy and inexpensive way to add a touch of autumnal cheer to your home. Plus, it’s a great way to welcome guests as they enter your home during the autumn months.
7. Place an autumn wreath on your front door. Wreaths are most often associated with Christmas, but they make beautiful decorations year-round. In fall, a door adorned with a wreath looks warm and inviting. Make a wreath out of straw, twigs, leaves, berries, and anything else you can find in nature. This is a great way to recycle materials that would otherwise end up in the trash. If you’re not as craft-savvy, check out this autumn wildflowers wreath!
8. Load up on candles and place them everywhere. Place candles around your home to create a warm and inviting ambiance. Choose scents like pumpkin spice, cinnamon, apple cider, and vanilla for an extra seasonal touch.
9. Set out a bowl of candy corn or other fall-themed candy for your guests to enjoy. This is also a great way to decorate your coffee table or kitchen countertop!
10. Use copper-tone flower pots. Add a touch of fall by switching up those flower pots with a copper-colored one. Or find an empty vintage copper pot and load it to the brim with bright orange leaves that add a cheerful seasonal note.
