As the days grow shorter, it’s time to bring fall’s warm and inviting hues into your home. Embrace the season’s vibrant colors to create a cozy atmosphere that celebrates autumn’s magic and reflects your tastes. But don’t be scared – adding an autumn look doesn’t mean completely overhauling your home’s interior design! Here are five simple and creative ways to incorporate fall decorations this year.

Cozy Throws and Textiles

Stylishly transition your home from summer to fall by updating your living room and bedroom with new throw pillows, blankets and bedding. For a lush pop of fall color, choose heavier fabrics in rich, deep colors like burgundy, mustard, chocolate and rust. Mix patterns with solids and velvets with flannel and fake furs for a chic, boho look.

 Candles and Diffusers

Don’t just change what you see around your home, but also what you smell. Light cinnamon- and vanilla-scented candles and tea lights on a rainy evening for some seasonal aromatherapy. For flame-free options, look to essential oils, incense and reed diffusers to add a festive pumpkin chai or autumn plum scent to the air.

Warm Lighting

Is it time to swap out some of your lighting? Create additional coziness with soft, warm-toned lighting for an effortless autumn glow. Warm white twinkle lights, fairy lights or a string of Edison bulbs can also add a fun and festive touch, inside or out.

Fall Artwork and Accessories

Display decorative items like ceramic vases, pottery and glassware in Earth tones of deep greens, oranges, and browns. To incorporate a bit of fall and stay up on the newest trends, add some stylish and quirky mushroom décor to your space. These accessories can quickly transform the ambiance of any room and create a fall-inspired aesthetic.

Rich and Colorful Table Linens

Autumn is also the season to bring colorful plaids, checkered prints and velvet-trimmed accessories to your dining room. Indulge in layered linens, different textures and an eye-catching mix of dark and light colors. Try blending a deep forest green tablecloth with a taupe velvet runner and moss-colored linen napkins. Play with colors and fabrics will bring depth and interest to your table this fall.
