As summer comes to a close, the season of autumn quickly approaches. Cooler weather and colorful leaves are just some of the many signs of this wonderful season. When the fall weather hits, one of the first things that many people want to do is to invite autumn into their homes.
People often change up their homes with the seasons, and fall is no different. If you want to get in the mood for a certain season, decorating your home is often one of the first places you start. But what sorts of decor fit with the theme and fit well with the fall mood? And do you have to spend a fortune to get your home looking great? With that in mind, this article is going to go over some inexpensive decor ideas to get your home ready for autumn.
Bring in some plants and flowers
One of the best ways to bring the autumn spirit into your home is by adding some plants and flowers. You can find these at a local shop, but a better option might be to get consistent, long-lasting blooms from a flower subscription to ensure you always have new flowers to show off.
Having plants and flowers in your space makes it feel warm and comfortable and helps connect it to nature. In addition, you may also consider using flower mural wallpaper and floral decors.
In general, more muted and earthy tones generally work best in this season, as bright and colorful options often fit more with summer or spring than fall.
There are many examples when it comes to the best floral decor for your home, so feel free to get creative and design your space the way you want. For example, many people will actually press the leaves that have fallen in their yard and put them on display in their homes.
Add some blankets and pillows
Another easy way to upgrade your home decor is to bring in some blankets and pillows. Nothing quite beats curling up on the couch on a cool fall night with some cozy blankets and pillows. The designs don’t need to be fall-specific, but heavier and more lush fabrics are often the nicest and can keep you warm.
Fall and autumn are all about warmth and comfort. The weather is cooling off, but you want to keep your place warm and cozy, and adding additional pillows and blankets can do just that. Don’t hesitate to change out your bedding to something warmer, as well.
Change up the colors
The colors of your home are also something you should consider in the fall. Summer is all about bright and cheerful colors, while fall colors are often a little more natural and earthy. Some examples of fall colors include orange, red, yellow, brown, and darker greens.
There are many ways to introduce these colors into your home. You could do it with rugs and other textiles, artwork, plants, and flowers, or even add new furniture to a room. There are plenty of options, and each home and space will call for a different solution.
While painting is also an option, it likely isn’t something you want to have to do multiple times a year, so we generally recommend you keep it to things you can easily swap out and change as the seasons come and go.
Light some candles
While you can light and use candles at any time, they are incredibly popular in the fall. In addition to filling your home with the scents of fall, these candles can give off a subtle light without being too bright and jarring. As for the type of candles you get, there are several options that are popular in the fall.
This could be pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla, and a variety of woodsy and outdoor-themed scents. You can even get some custom candles made if you aren’t able to find the exact kind you want or want the design to look a little different. Candles can look great in your kitchen, in the bedroom, or even in the office, but remember to always be careful when dealing with candles, and never forget that you have one lit.
Swap out the window treatments
Changing out the window treatments of your home can drastically change how the space looks once autumn rolls around. In the summer, many homes will have lighter blinds or curtains that normally let through some light and are quite slim.
But as things cool off, it makes sense to switch out these for a thicker aesthetic that can look wonderful and fit with the theme. Make sure to choose curtains in the color and style that fits well with the rest of the room, too.
In addition to looking great and changing the entire look of a room, these can often help you keep your home warmer as they can prevent heat loss that often occurs through windows as a form of insulation.
Don’t forget about the outdoors
While you want the inside of your home to look great, you can’t forget about the outside. Both your front and back yard can also join in on the fun. This ensures your entire home is cohesive and fits the autumn mood.
There are several different ways to bring your outdoor areas in line with your interior. This could be adding a few pumpkins on your porch, introducing some orange or brown plants in pots, or hanging a wreath. Now, anyone entering your home will immediately be greeted with an autumnal vibe that is only taken to the next level when they get inside. Of course, the trees with their colorful leaves and the leaves that have already fallen certainly add to this fall vibe.
In conclusion, these affordable and easy decor ideas can help you get your home ready for the autumn season. While some might be more expensive than others, none of these choices should break the bank, and they can really help your home look amazing.
