When you add Fall decor to your space you can achieve three things. You can create a cozy space. A cozy space is welcoming and makes a home feel safe. Next, Fall decor will add beautiful color to your home. You will get a vibrant and lively space you can enjoy. Finally, adding Fall decor allows you to temporarily add change to your space without commitment and design regrets. Read the tips for how you can achieve these things. 

Creating a Cozy Space 

There are many ways in which you can create a cozy space with your Fall decor. A cozy space can make your house feel like a home. It provides a safe and comfortable spot that you might turn to for relaxation, positivity, and more. It also provides a welcoming area for family members and guests to enjoy. I am sharing three ways in which you can create a cozy space in your home with Fall decor.

Throw Blankets

First, throw blankets are the best way to add in Fall decor without drawing too much attention to it. You can choose from many different colors and textures for throw blankets. A large blanket that is soft and hangs just right over the couch or an armchair can feel very welcoming. In addition, you can feel very safe and cozy when you snuggle up under the throw blanket. 

Seasonal Pillows

Second, you can decorate with seasonal pillows. A group of pillows looks very cozy and inviting. I recommend decorating with pillows that are of various shapes and sizes relative to the season in which you are decorating. For example, in Autumn, you can use pillows with leaf patterns or pillows shaped like pumpkins or mushrooms. A seasonal pillow is not only cozy and inviting, but it is also a fun and creative way to decorate for Fall. 

Candles

Third, candles will always add coziness to your space in the Fall season. Candles provide soft lighting, inviting smells, and beautiful decor. A warm light or soft glow can enhance a cozy space, and you can get that from a candle. Additionally, a seasonal candle shaped like a pumpkin or that smells like cider can invite warmth and happiness into the space. Fall candles can also be used as statement pieces which elevates their decorative value. 

I like decorating for the Fall season with the tips I just shared. Every year I pull out my seasonal throw blankets, fun pillows, and statement candles to decorate my room. It’s fun to decorate with these things, and it makes my space feel very cozy. You can achieve a cozy space with these three tips, and you can read more about this in my blog post: 3 Ways to Achieve a Cozy Fall Home.

Adding Color  

There are many ways to add color to your home in the Fall. However, I am sharing two of the most obvious decorative tips for doing so. You can add color to your home by decorating with Fall florals. Whether real or fake, flowers and plants are beautiful and decorative. You can also add color to your home by bringing the outside scenes inside. You can do so by using wall art that is representative of a Fall vignette you might see outside. 

Fall Foliage

First, Fall foliage is beautiful and colorful. When you see the leaves in Autumn, you see a mix of reds, oranges, and yellows. The colors are bright and attractive. You can add these colors into your home with the florals you choose to display. As you enter the Fall season, you will find more of those Autumn colors in the plants and flowers you buy in the stores or at nurseries. Decorating with them will make your home vibrant and welcoming. 

Artwork

Second, artwork is a great way to bring color into your home in the Fall. When you first think of Fall, you might picture a street lined with trees and colorful leaves covering the sidewalks. Wouldn’t it be nice to see that scene inside your home and represented in your Autumn decor? You can achieve this by decorating with tabletop or wall art that have Autumn vignettes pictured. Doing so will bring that colorfulness and vibrancy into your home. 

Adding color to your home in the Fall is a great idea. You can also add natural colors if you want to veer away from the bright and traditional Fall colors. Using colors like greens, browns, and creams can provide an attractive and natural Fall vibe. I especially like to add in orange decor because it is my favorite color and it livens up my space.

Temporary Decor Means No Commitment, No Regrets 

Finally, adding in seasonal decor during the Fall will allow you to decorate without commitment and regret. This is true for any season. When you add in seasonal decor, you aren’t completely changing the design of your home or your normal decor. You are adding temporary and complementary features. Changing out your tabletop or wall decor, adding in some throw blankets or flowers, and providing a pop of color during the Fall are all temporary changes. 

These are things you can easily add or remove when decorating. You do not have to commit to one color scheme or decor style when using seasonal decorations. You also don’t have to commit to a specific decorative piece that you might use all year long in your home. If you like it, you can keep it for the whole season, and then change it out when the season ends. Further, if you dislike it, you can easily remove it without regret because the seasonal decor isn’t a permanent fixture in your home. No commitment, no regrets. 

Following some of these Autumn decor tips will help you to create a beautiful, cozy, colorful and welcoming Fall home. Additionally, you will be adding in temporary seasonal items that you don’t have to commit to in your home design, and hopefully you won’t regret the choices made. Once you are ready to decorate for Fall, I hope you’ll consider these tips! If you have some of your own, share your tips in the comments below.
