With the hot days of summer now behind us, it is time for you to embrace the autumn season and all that it has to offer. Crisp apples, comfy sweaters, and vibrant leaves galore. There is going to be a noticeable shift in our decor and interiors as well, with our windows shuttered more and the darker hours coming upon us earlier in the day.

The good news is that there are a bunch of easy things you can do to help make your home cozier for the fall season. One of the major things is to create a foundation in your interior that does well with layering new design options every season. Depending on your taste, this can mean setting a base of softer shades like beige or gray or using high to low contrasts of black and white. People who like it bold might want to use a mix of vibrant colors and patterns to make their foundation a bit more eclectic. 

If you don’t know where to begin, you might start with a neutral palette to prepare for some of the larger pieces to come in. Doing this means you won’t be held to a specific color and it will give you the opportunity to go bold with your smaller accessories if you want to. 

After accomplishing this clean slate, here are some more tips to make your home cozier during the cooling Fall weather. 

Use Seasonal Touches Sparingly

If you are planning to incorporate autumnal decor into your home, less is more. You can add a mix of pumpkins to your front porch, but be sure to include a mix of tones and heights for interest. Giving your dining room or living room a unique arrangement will be able to give some cozy vibes without being too overbearing. 

Layer Textured Pillows And Throws

Fall is a great time to cuddle on the sofa and watch your favorite shows. You can add in extra throw blankets and knits, as well as pillows with velvet or mohair textures to help up the coziness. To keep things modern, try to keep your palette more monochromatic. Or you can mix some colors and patterns for that traditional feel. 

Bring The Brightness Indoor For Shorter Days

You can opt to add some more greens into the home, as these won’t be able to last outside anymore once the temperatures begin to drop. Try out some orchids, or any other types of green plants that speak to you. If you don’t have a great green thumb, you can try incorporating some bright artwork into your home, and it’s smart not to get these installed permanently in your home so you can switch them out as the seasons change. 

Have A Signature Home Scent

Everyone loves a good pumpkin candle for Fall, but there is a better way to inhale your favorite smells without needing to worry about potentially harmful toxins in the air. For example, a stovetop potpourri. You can throw apples, oranges, cinnamon sticks, vanilla, cloves, pine needles, anise, or lemon peels into a pot with some water to help create your signature Autumn scent.
