1. Get Cozy by Adding Soft Touches Throughout Your Home
Along with the crisp feeling of fall in the air, comes the urge to curl up in something cozy and warm. Little touches of soft home accessories go a long way in making your home feel like the perfect fall get-away! Find a few soft touches that you’ll touch, use and enjoy on a daily basis…
THROW PILLOWS: I love the rich colors and luxe fabric of these velvet striped Preston Pillows from A. HOME. Check out all their color and fabric options!
LUXURIOUS THROW BLANKET: This beautiful and soft Maloca Herringbone Alpaca Throw Blanket from Amazon is delicately detailed but neutral enough to match any style decor.
FUZZY SLIPPERS: Treat yourself to wool or faux fur lined slippers to wear around the house, like these simple styles by KOOLABURRA BY UGG from Nordstrom.
2. Deepen Your Color Palette
The rich, saturated color palette of fall is beautiful in home decor. Look for ways you can add touches of fall tones throughout your home, or add deeper shades of your existing decor colors to compliment what’s already there.
BEDDING: This stunning yellow floral Tranquility duvet set from Articture will instantly transform your bedroom for fall.
AREA RUGS: Area rugs can anchor a room, not to mention give you something wonderfully soft underfoot. I love the vintage inspired look of these Ornate Silhouette Rugs from West Elm.
DECORATIVE VASES: Even a small pop of rich color can add depth to a room. Try adding decorative ceramic or porcelain pieces in rich colors like these Colora Porcelain Table Vases in withered rose, charcoal and agave green from Wayfair.
3. Refresh & Replace One Tool You Use Regularly
We don’t think much about the simple items we use every day, but when they get a refresh or an upgrade, using them suddenly feels like a delight. What tools do you use in your home every day? Try replacing one or two with a new and improved version and see how it brightens your day!
KITCHEN UTENSILS: So fresh and so clean! Treat yourself to some new kitchen tools like this set of 8 Natural Acacia Wooden Silicone Kitchen Utensils from Amazon
DINNER WARE: Eating off handmade dishes makes each meal feel special - check out this Ceramic Matte Plate Collection by SunnysShopLA on Etsy
LAUNDRY OR STORAGE BASKETS: Utilitarian tools can double as beautiful additions to your home decor, like these large Woven Storage Baskets from Amazon
4. Extend the Life of Your Outdoor Space
Having a beautiful outdoor space is like extending the square footage of your home, but as the weather grows colder it becomes less and less usable. What would make your outdoor space more comfortable in the weeks to come? Lighting? A cover? Cushions and blankets? Seating? Warmth? Get creative and extend the life of your outdoor space for as long as possible with some quick and easy accessories like these…
SOFT OUTDOOR ACCESSORIES: Stay cozy outside longer with this gorgeous Outdoor Floor Cushion by Alyssa Hamilton Art and Botanical Garden Fleece Throw Blanket by Burcu Korkmazyurek from Society6
OUTDOOR LIGHTING: Light up your space as the days get shorter with twinkling cafe lights like the LED Vintage Edison Outdoor String Lights from Sterno Home on Amazon.
FIRE PIT: For a warm, low-smoke fire in a chic stainless steel form, the Solo Stove Outdoor Smokeless Firepit is a fantastic solution to any outdoor space.
5. Treat Yourself to Something Special
Sometimes we all need to treat ourselves to something truly special. Here are a few items I think would fit the bill…
LUXE SCENTED CANDLES: My personal favorite candle that I go to again and again - Jo Malone London Honeysuckle & Davana Home Candle
FRESH FLOWERS & PLANTS: To me there is nothing more luxurious than having fresh flowers in your home, but not just cut flowers - flowering plants too! Fall and winter flowering plants like Amarylis, Cyclamen, LIpstick Plant, Holiday Cactus or Orchids bring a welcome wash of color into your home in those darker, cooler months. Here is a DIY tutorial video where I show you how to take a grocery store orchid and embellish it to make it look like a piece of art.
