The bright and vibrant shades of summer have faded into deep, moody undertones of saffron, jade, marigold, and charcoal. It’s fall, time to wrap yourself up in cozy blankets and nestle in for the longer, cooler months that lie ahead.
Here are a few of this season’s most welcoming decor ideas to help you nestle in:
White Pumpkins
Synonymous with harvest time and a staple of fall design, pumpkins are the standard this time of year, however, opt for a more contemporary and simplistic feel by forgoing the orange standard, and instead mixing things up with white.
Table centre pieces, groupings at the front door; a variety of shapes and sizes in a monochromatic white scheme will make quite the festive statement.
Natural Elements
Embrace the outdoors by incorporating some natural elements in your spaces; wood accessories, willow and berry branches, birch logs, dogwood wreaths, wooly blankets… simple, unadorned arrangements and fittings are the perfect reflection of fall.
Candles
Decorating with candles is a surefire way to add instant warmth and ambiance to your home. Dispersed in odd-number groupings on mantles, mirrored trays, and even in unused fireplace boxes, take advantage of the mood and coziness the addition of extra candles will help create.
Wood and Wicker Baskets
The palette may be pale, but the texture that wooden and wicker storage baskets adds is vibrant! Tucked under a side table, nestled beside a chair to curl up in, and mixed in with regular decor on sparse shelves – the layering of naturally woven materials into your spaces adds richness and charm.
Throw Blankets
Cooler nights call for having warm wraps within easy reach; stack your favorite blankets in varying patterns as a clever and useful decor accent. If you feel your spaces are lacking visual interest, invest in a plaid or buffalo check patterned throw for a nod to a more nostalgic and genuine style.
