Styling Your Home for Fall

The leaves are starting to change, and while the magic is happening outside- bringing the prettiest season of the year inside is in your hands. Welcome fall, in all its glory, by creating the coziest autumn space within your home with a few festive interior design choices. 

Follow these seasonal styling tips to fall-ify your home room by room:

Foyer
Create the warmest welcome with fresh or dried flowers in harvest colors, an autumn wreath on the front door, and a vintage throw runner underfoot.

Kitchen
Place ironstone dishes on open shelving in white, cream, and beige tones, and scatter in a few white pumpkins for display. Create a fall tablescape with a harvest centerpiece by placing gourds and pine cones around a vase filled with feathers and/or sheaves of wheat instead of traditional flowers. Add a basket or bowl of apples  to your countertop to tie everything together.

Dining Room
Plaid table trimmings, garland, napkins, and a festive table runner will instantly scream fall.  You can’t go wrong with a classic red and blue plaid, but if that’s a little too much color for you, then opt for a neutral colored plaid. This will give your dining room table a more subtle fall feel.

Living/Family Rooms
Accessorize your coffee table and mantel with brass candlesticks, antlers, and dark shades of fall colored books. If you have a fireplace, keep it lit when you have company to heighten the ambience. Even if you don’t have a fireplace, setting out a few wood logs will help bring the space together.

Bedrooms
Aside from switching out linens to be fall colors, put out candles on the nightstand and dressers. To bump up the fall feels and in some fall scents like pumpkin spice and apple orchard. As for how they look, pick ones that are deep velvets, rich greens, or even jet black to change it up from the cliche fall colors. Throwing in one or two sleek gold candle holders will take the space to the next level. 

Bathrooms
A fresh bloom or two can brighten up your bathroom any time of the year. Try displaying bright orange or red mums (a favorite of our Professional Home Stagers for the fall season!) on your bathroom sink and shelves to instantly add a festive feel to the small space. As always, candles are a great multipurpose decor piece for bathrooms. 

Book Nooks
Book nooks don’t need much decorating for fall since they already express the cozy vibe. Switch out pillows and blankets with fall colored ones, like cinnamon and deep red. Accessorize with just one plaid pillow and the space will be transformed.

Hallways
If you want to go the extra mile this year, decorate your hallways too. Options include painting the walls fall colors or hanging a fall printed wallpaper on just one of the walls. For a less time consuming project, dress up a corner of the hallway with a tall vase of sheaths of wheat or cotton branches, and add a few display pumpkins around it.
