Interior Design Tips for Your Home This Fall

When to Begin Fall Decorating

When deciding when to decorate your own home for autumn, it's appropriate to start between late August and the end of September. Some people decorate after Labor Day, while others make the holiday a deadline for decorating. Others also change decorations and autumnal hues as the season proceeds into winter.

If you decorate for Halloween, you can create a different interior space as the season progresses. You’ll have plenty of time to get a new window treatment project started, shop for new decorations, or make your home feel cozy with autumn-colored shades.

With Thanksgiving not far from December, don’t put your decorating off until then. Instead, Thanksgiving is a marker for many to swap their seasonal decor with winter versions.

Fall Decorating Tips

The most important thing to remember when decorating for fall is that it doesn’t have to be complicated. Keep it simple! A few touches will do wonders for your home this season.

You don’t have to repaint your home to bring seasonal colors in. You can quickly add some seasonal color to your home's interior by adding a throw pillow or two or a cozy, patterned blanket.

You can give any space an autumnal appearance with a window covering. Roman shades allow natural light. They also create warmth with darker greens, earthy browns, oranges, and other natural colors.

Consider natural materials like wood and match woven wood shades with your furniture. Leaves and wreaths make a perfect centerpiece for your dining table.

Ideal Decorations for Fall

In addition to decorating your room with warm-toned window treatments, try these other ways to redesign your space.

·       Fresh flowers: Seasonal flowers are a vibrant addition to your tables and other areas where accent pieces are necessary. Decorate your coffee table with seasonal flowers like petunias, phlox, and black-eyed Susan.

·       Plaid accents: Plaid pattern blankets, tablecloths, fabric napkins, and other pieces make lovely accents. Start with orange and brown tones, then turn to reds (like red Buffalo plaid) for your room as fall leaves change and Thanksgiving nears.

·       Candles: Autumn scents like pumpkin spice, apple pie, mulled cider, fall leaves, and campfires are excellent go-to options to make your space smell like home. They also work as an additional lighting element for your tables.

·       Textured fabric: Add texture with textured wool throws, woven rugs, and knit blankets. Combine different materials with throw pillows to get the appearance you want and encourage an inviting atmosphere.

·       Statement art: You don't need to buy designer decorations! Use leaves and pinecones to create style and an impactful focal point for any space. This method helps you save money and serves as a fun personalized craft for the whole family.
