6 Tips To Transition Your Home This Fall

Ready or not, cooler temps and fall weather is nearly here! Soon it’ll be time to pile up with blankets, drink something warm and spiced, and wear our favorite cozy sweaters. Fall décor comes in many shapes, sizes, and colors. From deep red and orange furniture to velvet accents, and of course, a pumpkin or two.

If the changing of the seasons has you feeling ready for a healthy dose of coziness in your home, you’ve come to the right place. Today we’re bringing the fall feels into your home without breaking the bank by offering some simple ways to decorate. We’ve put together our favorite autumn-inspired looks, plus some affordable product suggestions so you can transform your home just in time for fall.

OPT FOR WARM METALLICS

An autumn color palette is all about capturing the organic beauty of the season— the reds, yellows, oranges, and browns that dictate the fall colors. But that doesn’t mean you need to limit your décor to those colors. Warm metallics such as brass and copper allow you to harness those fiery hues in a more modern way. Bring the trend home with a brass table lamp, a pair of copper candlesticks, or an oversized copper bowl filled with red apples or mini pumpkins. We are loving these metallic brass tapered candlesticks, perfect for adding a modern touch of warmth to your tablescape when entertaining.

SWAP OUT THROW PILLOWS

When it comes to switching your décor on a budget, throw pillows are always a good place to start. Welcome in the fall season by choosing pillows or pillow covers in fabrics you’d want to cozy up to, like velvets, faux furs, and textured knits. As for colors and prints, you can go the traditional route with plaids and fall colors, or try something more modern such as warm neutrals and minimalist patterns. DOBI agent, Angela Snedeker, loves to swap her summer yellows into her velvet green pillows, so everything becomes cozier.

WORK IN A PUMPKIN (OR TWO)

Let’s face it, it’s not fall without a pumpkin or two worked into your space. But, don’t fret, there are plenty of ways to work this fall staple into your decor–real or not! Pumpkin spice scented candles, faux miniature pumpkin decor, and even this adorable pumpkin ramekin candle are a chic way to incorporate this seasonal decor that serves a multi-purpose.

Fall pumpkins also don’t need to be in the standard array of seasonal colors. Instead, take advantage of their inherently fall look and add pumpkins to your living room in brightly-colored colors not typically associated with fall, like navy and turquoise. DOBI agent, Heather Ruhana, suggests adding a few mantle fall decor items such as pumpkins, fall florals, or whimsical decor to make the space feel fall and cozy.

USE FALL FLORALS

This time of year, leaves are changing colors, flowers are blooming, and fruits and veggies are all being harvested. So, who said flowers should be limited to summer? Fall bouquets can also add some beautiful seasonality to your space, with the help of fall blooms like mums or African daisies, and flowers in fall colors like deep red or orange. You can also invite the joy of the season into your home with bright and cheerful fall sunflowers.

ADD SEASONAL TEXTURE

Sometimes it’s the small things that pull a whole look together. There are plenty of textures that can bring it warmth including linen, leather, burlap, and soft knits. For example, Linen is a fabulous material for autumn decor vignettes because of its textured weave and dimension. The natural fibers of a linen table runner aid in bringing the outdoors in and highlight other interior elements such as dark wood tones, matted metallics, glassware, and greenery.

Leather embodies the warm hues and textures that are synonymous with fall décor, and the material (real or faux) also adds a little edge and ruggedness to final designs.

ADD OUTDOOR DECOR

We have talked a lot about ways to incorporate fall into your home but let’s not forget about your outdoor space.
