As autumn approaches, it’s time to embrace the cozy and warm atmosphere that fall brings into our Council Bluffs homes. Here are some fall home decorating ideas to help you create a welcoming and festive ambiance.
Inside
1. Warm Colors: Embrace the rich and earthy tones of fall by incorporating warm colors into your home decor. Consider adding accent pillows in shades of deep red, burnt orange, or golden yellow to your living room. You can also switch out your curtains or drapes for ones in warm hues to create a cozy atmosphere.
2. Natural Elements: Bring the beauty of the outdoors inside by incorporating natural elements into your fall decor. Display a bowl of pinecones on your coffee table or arrange a bouquet of dried flowers on your dining table. You can also add a touch of nature to your mantel by placing a few small pumpkins or gourds alongside some fall leaves.
3. Cozy Textures
Fall is all about getting cozy, so make sure to add some soft and inviting textures to your home. Swap out your lightweight summer throw blankets for chunky knit ones in warm colors. Add plush rugs to your floors and consider switching out your bedding for flannel sheets and a cozy duvet cover.
4. Oversized florals: Adding a bold floral pattern in fall is a trend that breaks from tradition. Typically associated with spring, florals are now making a statement in autumn. House Beautiful suggests looking for big blousy designs with a pre-Raphaelite style. These floral prints can be found on cushions, bedding, and even as murals.
5. Jet black: Black is making its presence known in the kitchen and bathroom, with the introduction of black cabinetry and black jewelry. This trend is expected to expand throughout the entire house in the upcoming months. House Beautiful suggests that those who enjoy monochrome aesthetics will particularly appreciate this trend. The focus is on black accessories, but for those who prefer a more subtle approach, incorporating small blocks of black here and there can still achieve the desired effect.
Outside
1. Embrace the colors of fall: Incorporate warm and earthy tones into your outdoor decor. Use pumpkins, gourds, and cornstalks to create a festive display. Add pops of red, orange, and yellow with mums, marigolds, and asters. Hang a fall wreath on your front door to welcome guests.
2. Cozy up your outdoor seating area: As the temperatures drop, make sure your outdoor seating area is ready for chilly evenings. Add cushions and blankets in autumnal colors to your patio furniture. Place a fire pit or a portable heater nearby to keep everyone warm and toasty.
3. Illuminate with fall-inspired lighting: Set the mood by incorporating fall-inspired lighting into your outdoor decor. Use string lights to create a warm and inviting ambiance. Place lanterns or candle holders on tables and along pathways for a cozy glow. Don’t forget to add some citronella candles to keep pesky bugs away.
Incorporating these fall home decorating ideas will help you create a warm and inviting space that embraces the beauty of the season. So grab a pumpkin spice latte and get ready to transform your Council Bluffs home into a cozy autumn retreat.
