Bring Nature Indoors This Fall for a Warm and Inviting Home
With vibrantly colored leaves, crisp morning air, migrating birds, cozy sweaters, and hayrides, it’s no wonder autumn tops the list of favorite seasons. As the holiday season approaches, let nature inspire you to bring those warm fall feelings into your home.
Here are five ideas to get you started:
Appreciate the Harvest
The autumn harvest brings an array of beautiful shapes and colors. Pumpkins, squashes, gourds, ornamental corn, apples, grapes, and cranberries all evoke comforting meals and sweet treats. By decorating with these, you’ll create a reminder that life is abundant and full of joy.
Give Color to Your Home
Autumn is filled with warm, earthy tones that can instantly add a cozy glow. To brighten up your space, incorporate rugs, curtains, table runners, and flower arrangements in rich reds, oranges, and deep greens. Additionally, don’t forget to add rich browns, cheery yellows, and creamy tans for extra warmth.
Mix Patterns and Textures
You can create a cozy atmosphere by mixing patterns and textures. Think of your favorite fall outfits: plaids, flannels, and cabled knits. Incorporating rich leathers, faux fur, felted wool, and burlap will add layers of interest and warmth to any room.
Bring Nature Indoors
Collecting pieces of nature can be a fun activity, while also providing a personal touch to your décor. Items like pressed leaves, pinecones, and acorns can make lovely arrangements. Always be mindful, however, to collect only what’s naturally fallen and avoid restricted areas like nature preserves.
Create Ambiance
Finally, tie it all together by creating a cozy ambiance. Drape throw blankets over chairs, light scented candles, and bake fall treats to fill your home with delicious aromas. Set out picture albums on the coffee table, and place a little snack on the kitchen counter to complete the welcoming feel. Then, sit back, relax, and enjoy your warm, inviting fall home.
