Adding Fall Touches to Your Home

Say goodbye to summer! It's time to put away those bright colors and bring out the jewel tones because the fall season is officially here. The warm weather is fading and the leaves are transforming into richer shades, reminding us that it is time to transition our homes for cooler weather. We love any excuse to liven up home décor or dive deep on new designs! You don’t have to completely overhaul your style or break the bank to make impactful updates to your home décor. From switching up floral varieties to updating interiors, there are several ways to prep your home for the fall season!

Jewel Tones for a Warm Fall Aesthetic

The colors you incorporate into your home often speak to the aesthetic of the current season. Orange, maroon, and burgundy are often first choice colors when decorating for fall. We suggest expanding from those colors a bit by using varying jewel tones. Jewel tones are ideal colors for fall because they tie in the darker colors of autumn while hitting on some unique tones as well. This palette includes shades of ruby, emerald, and navy.

Décor Accents in Jewel Tones

Add throw pillows and blankets to your couches that are rich in color to create an autumnal atmosphere in your home. If you’re looking to swap out your pillows seasonally, try using different pillow shams rather than the full pillows themselves. This will save you space when you store them after the season. This is a simple switch you can make every season that will immediately update your ambiance. 

Flowers in Jewel Tones

While many people associate fall with the complementary colors of burnt orange and deep burgundy, we suggest pushing the envelope a bit with brighter more unique jewel tones. Incorporate these colors into your décor through your flower arrangements and vase choices. You can convey an autumnal aesthetic using jewel-toned flowers by using specific types of fall florals like dahlias, cock’s comb, and garden roses. 

Floral Varieties to Use in Autumn

Floral variety and floral availability change with every season. The availability of certain flowers is based on a per-season basis. This means that certain varieties or colors you're interested in might not be available for a few months out of the year. In the fall, you should try to incorporate dahlias, celosia, and ranunculus into arrangements around your home. These flowers are out of season for the summer but are always a hit throughout the cooler months.

Incorporate Gourds and Pumpkins into your Décor

Incorporating gourds and pumpkins are a 'must' for the fall season. These festive elements are perfect décor for both inside and outside the home. Both will give your tablescape a strong seasonal feel. To add a creative touch to simple gourds and pumpkins, use metallic and white spray paint. You can give these seasonal elements a metallic or matte look, which will allow them to pop on your table. Giving your gourds and pumpkins a monochromatic look will maintain a cohesive sophisticated look for your décor.

The transition of seasons should always bring unexpected changes to your home. In the switch from summer to fall, you can make many additions to the open spaces throughout your home. From adding décor to the table at small dinner parties to revamping the living room, you'll be certain to leave a lasting impression this fall. If you’re looking to host an event or soirée this season and need help with the design, reach out to us!
