Easy Ways to Transition Your Home from Summer to Fall

As cooler weather rolls in, take a cue from Mother Nature and transition your home from summer to fall! It’s now time to embrace the warm, cozy ambience of fall and do away with sunny colors and lightweight fabrics.

What if we told you that you can easily transition your home from summer to fall without purchasing an acorn or pumpkin accessory? Achieve an autumnal home by filling your space with textiles, color, and texture that reflect the season. Here are some tips for fall home décor that incorporates subtle seasonal accents.

Soften your color palette

Different shades of blue and crisp, white colors are spring and summer staples, but these bright hues can feel too vivid when the temperatures drop. Trade in those cool-toned, fresh colors for warm, muted, and quiet alternatives. Swap brilliant white with soft cream or ivory; choose moody jewel tones instead of punchy primaries, and exchange sky-blue touches for teal and cornflower. That being said, a neutral color palette is a perfect backdrop for adding autumn accents. To balance a colorful background, you can use cream or white elements – in your pillows, throw blankets, and rugs.

Add texture

Translucent glass, glossy ceramics, and polished silver are beautiful accents during the summer; however, fall is a great season to embrace all things imperfect, antique, and aged. Think dusty terracotta, earthenware vessels, hammered metals, reclaimed wood, brass, and timeworn leather.

Mix and match different textures

What better way to bring the fall feeling into your home than by layering different textures? Our top picks include leather, velvet, suede, tweed, faux fur, and flannel. To achieve a cozy and curated fall space, mix and match these warm textiles. Remember to keep these additions to a minimum so you can easily add or remove certain elements, achieving a cozy autumn feeling without going overboard.

Add soft lights

Create a little fall ambience by taking out your candles! As the nights get shorter, put small candles in mason jars or glass motives on a tray for an easy yet effective autumn centerpiece. Remember, this season is all about giving your home comfortable and warm feelings, and adding soft lights throughout your home is a great place to start.

Yes, transitioning your home from summer to fall can be simple. With these fall home décor ideas, you can successfully redecorate your home to accommodate the season, without spending a lot of cash.
