Fall is officially here in North Texas, which means temperatures are hovering just below 100 degrees, the fall leaves are starting to turn, and pumpkin spice everything is on the menu. While it might not be cool enough to break out your coat and crank up the fireplace, it’s the perfect time to layer in some fall decor and prepare your home for the cooler months ahead. You’ll be spending more time indoors, so it’s worth considering how your living room, dining room, and bedroom can be made cozier for the season ahead. Read through some of our favorite home decorating ideas for a cozy fall aesthetic.
Swap Out Your Throw Pillows and Add in Some Blankets
Switch out the lightweight summer pillows on your sofa with accent pillows in fall-appropriate fabrics. Velvet accent pillows in a variety of jewel-toned hues introduce warmth to any couch or bed, such as:
Take fall comfort to the next level by filling a deep basket with a few extra blankets and pillows and placing it in the corner of your living space. Our Juliana Cotton Throw would bring in a fun pop of pattern in subtle, deeper hues.
Change Up the Bedding
Cool weather calls for heavier bedding. Swap cool summer colors for rich fall hues and heavier textures for an invitingly warm look. Add an additional blanket atop the down comforter, or place a cozy quilt at the end of the bed for ultimate coziness. Don’t forget to tend to the guest bedroom as well; this will save you an extra step when guests come home for the holidays.
Bring in Rugs to Create a Cozy Aesthetic
Large rooms with wood or tile floors can feel particularly chilly when the cool weather sets in. Create a unique look by layering rugs one on top of the other. They don’t have to be perfectly lined up or centered—an imperfect layering technique will lend bohemian flair to your rooms. You can even find rugs in rich, fall hues, like our Odessa Canyon Orange 8x10 Rug or our Pasha Ivory Multi 8 x 10 Rug.
Layer Lamps to Give a Room Ambiance
Fall is the perfect time of year for mood lighting, and we recommend adding lamps to each room in your house. This creates a sense of ambiance and will make the room feel cozy, even when it starts to get dark earlier in the evening. From our luxe Classical Urn Mercury Glass Table Lamp to the rustic appeal of our Industrial Bronze Table Lamp set, lamps will add character and personality to your space.
Create Cozy Vignettes
Whether you decorate your fireplace mantel or create a festive display of pumpkins on your dining table, dresser, or console table, consider how you can bring fall colors and textures into your home with smaller accents. Add some fall color with framed photos or DIY flower arrangements created with fall-appropriate plants. These smaller accents and decor can make a big difference in how your home feels.
