As the days grow shorter and the temperatures start to drop, our homes become the place where we find warmth and comfort from the chilly outdoors.
Transitioning your space from the light and airy vibes of summer to a warm and inviting ambiance can be done seamlessly. With just a few careful touches, you can create a cozy haven that is both comforting and embraces the seasonal beauty of autumn.
Tips For Transitioning Your Home From Summer To Fall
Incorporate Seasonal Scents
You can transform the entire atmosphere of your home with the power of a fall scent. Replace your fruity, citrus summer candles with earthy aromas. A few ideas for this include essential oils in a diffuser, creating your own potpourri with dried orange slices and cinnamon sticks, or candles. Scents like pumpkin spice, apple cider or cedar and sandalwood will put you in your fall feels.
Infuse Seasonal Warmth With Art
Adding art to your home is a great way add the season's warmth and charm into your space. Swap out bright, summery artwork for pieces that reflect earthy tones and textures of autumn. Consider natural landscapes, woodland scenes or deep shades of oranges, reds and browns. Art is an easy way to create a visual connection to the fall season, giving the home a sense of cozy!
Dim the Lights
As the daylight disappears, lighting becomes crucial in creating the ideal cozy ambiance. Now that the bright summer sun has gone, bring in a warmer, softer glow by using lamps, candles and lanterns. Using table and floor lamps with warm-toned bulbs will help create a soft, inviting space. If your switches have dimmers, adjust the brightness according to your mood. Candles are great to place throughout the house – on coffee tables, mantels, counters.
Add Nature-Inspired Seasonal Decor
Bringing in elements of the outdoors is a great way to celebrate the season. Fall is all about rich, natural colors and textures so it's easy to play with outdoor elements. Hang a wreath made with dried leaves, pinecones and berries on the front door. Grab a fall doormat, layered with a buffalo plaid rug. Scatter small pumpkins, gourds and pinecones on the porch and entryway. They also look good on the dining table as a centerpiece. If you have any empty vases, fill them with branches, dried grass or colorful fall foliage. It's an easy, affordable way to decorate for autumn.
