Fall Home Decor Projects

FALL IS COMING!

Whether you are toes deep in sand on a sandy beach in sunny Malibu, sipping coffee on the 23rd floor of a high rise in New York, or cozied up with blankets in chilly Minnesota, you cannot escape the undeniable fact that Fall is coming. You may have noticed the sun is rising a bit later in the morning and setting a bit earlier in the evening. The nights are growing cooler and the air is more brisk.

Although summer is coming to an end, there are still so many things to be excited about. Fall brings pumpkin spice lattes, apple cider, and fun Halloween activities. Moreover, autumn is meant to be a time of warmth, comfort, and crimson bliss. What better place to make pleasantly snug and inviting than your own home? Good news – you do not have to spend a fortune on to do so! With just seven simple decorative steps, you can turn your humble abode into a real-life fall home decor magazine.

AUTUMN DIY CENTERPIECES

Are your kitchen tables looking dull? Want to spruce up your kitchen tops? Have lackluster living rooms? Have no fear, a plethora of fall DIY centerpieces are here! Stop at your nearest arts and crafts store to pick up a glass vase, twine, small acorns, colorful faux leaves, or mini pumpkins. A lively array of faux pumpkins, gourds, and fake berries intertwined in a vase with candles is guaranteed to make any home instantly more visually appealing. On a budget? No worries: you can always take some pine cones, leaves, or branches from your backyard and put them on display in a glass vase.

COZY UP IN STYLE WITH FALL HOME DECOR

A little home decor renovation goes a long way. To cozy up any kitchen or living room, try adding some warm-toned toss blankets or throw pillows into the mix. Oversized, embracive, beige blankets whisper autumn to anyone who cozies up in them. These oversized, warm blankets are ideal for movie nights, hangouts, and holiday get togethers. Grab a warm cup of hot chocolate, pop in your all time favorite movie, light a refreshing pumpkin-vanilla scented candle, wrap up in your favorite fall blanket, and embrace your lovely home properly decorated for the season.

EYE CATCHING COLOR CONTRAST

Perhaps your living space is cluttered with primarily dark shades or hardwood tabletops and furniture, it’s time to lighten up the space! Soft beige, yellow, and white tones make for an aesthetically pleasing contrast to the dark wood. Try to incorporate a cream table runner, or light-colored kitchen place mats with dreamy candles to create a cozy, fall atmosphere.
