When we think about decorating our homes for fall, we think
of heavy fabrics and darker colors. When
we come out of the summer heat, we want to cool down; we want to change things
up. Don’t get me wrong we love the
summer and the bright colors, but there is something about fall that makes us want
to change it up and bring that sense of home and comfort back into our lives. So what do we do it? How can we make our homes reflect
ourselves and the themes for the fall?
Darker fall colors can be added in the throws or pillows
that you use, or through decorative accents you might add to your
home. Throws can add texture through knits like cable, faux
fur, or even a depth in the nap of the fabric. A pillow can be something that you can throw on a chair, or on the floor
even, close to the fireplace. Look at
the basic colors that you have throughout your home, and pick a darker color to
coordinate with those colors in your rooms. Many decorate or update just a room, or a few rooms, you can easily do
it throughout your whole home. Think about it
– add a throw to your bed, or the chair in your room, or even in your home
office. Just add one ruby red, mustard yellow, bright orange or deep purple fall colored pillow or set of decorative items on your end
tables.
Many of the decorating books and magazines serve up examples
with each season. There are always the
predictable, but use your creative side and sense of whimsy to update your
home. It doesn’t have to be expensive or
difficult to do, especially if you know what you're looking for. Here are some ideas:
