The fall season can be an exciting time to decorate your home, as you have the opportunity to incorporate many different elements of this season into your home. From changing out your summer drapes and bedding to building an outdoor fire pit, there are numerous ways you can decorate your home so that it feels more autumnal during the fall months. Here are five ways, recommended by S&G Cleaning Services, to decorate your home for the fall season!
1) Bring the outdoors in!
One of the easiest ways to decorate for fall is to bring some of the colors of the season inside your home. Add a pop of color with some fresh flowers or a bowl of fruit. You can also try adding a vase of leaves or acorns to your decor. In addition, add a few colorful accents like throw pillows and throws, candles, or glassware. If you are not a fan of the typical warm colors and think the red, orange, and yellow can be overboard, note that you can also opt for duller hues like browns, tans, maroons, and so on. All these simple touches will make your house feel warm and inviting.
2) Enjoy the fall scents (and flavors).
Fall scents are undeniably irresistible! Here are a few quick ways to incorporate your favorite scents into your home.
1. Candles are an easy way to fill your home with seasonal scents. Look for candles with scents like cinnamon, pumpkin, or apple.
2. Potpourri is another great way to add fall scents to your home. You can find pre-made mixes at most stores, or make your own using cinnamon sticks, cloves, and dried oranges.
3. If you have a fireplace, use it! Not only will it add warmth to your home, but you can also add some fall flavor by throwing a few cinnamon sticks in the fire.
4. Bake! The smell of fresh-baked cookies or bread is always inviting. And what says fall more than the smell of cinnamon and pumpkin?
The best part? You can pick a different scent for each room (as long as you make sure they will still blend together well)!
3) Bundle up, it’s breezy!
As the weather cools down and the leaves start to change color, it’s the perfect time to cozy up your home for fall. As suggested before, create a warm ambiance by lighting candles in scents like pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and vanilla. Additionally, invest in a weighted blanket and soft throw pillows. These few things will keep you warm and cozy as it gets darker and colder outside.
Don’t forget to prepare your fall wardrobe! It’s time to bring out the flannels, fur coats, boots, and more!
4) Find fall flair.
Fall accents really bring the outside season into your home! Adding wreaths and garlands is an easy way to add some fall flair. You can find these items at most craft stores or even make them yourself. You can pick fall foliage, like colorful leaves, sunflowers, berries, and so on. Adding some pumpkins, either real or fake, is also a great way to decorate for the fall season. You can put them on your porch, in your windows, or even inside your home. The pumpkins will last through Thanksgiving, as well! The hardest part about this project is deciding which pumpkins you want to buy! There are so many different styles, sizes, shapes, etc. The perfect pumpkin may be waiting for you just around the corner!
5) Finally – Halloween decorations!
It’s that time of year again! Time to get out the Halloween decorations and start getting your home ready for fall. Here are a few easy ways to get your home looking festive for the season.
1. Start with a wreath on your front door. A wreath is an easy way to add a touch of fall to your home without going overboard. You can find wreaths made of leaves, pumpkins, or even hay at your local craft store.
2. Add some gourds and pumpkins to your porch or entryway. These can be real or fake, depending on your preference. If you go with real pumpkins, you can even carve them into jack-o-lanterns!
3. Add spider webs and other spooky decors.
4. Check out your local thrift store for funky inflatables and other festive items. But remember, as your local cleaners, we have to advise you to be mindful in your purchases here. Only buy things that you will want to store away for next year and reuse – do not create clutter!
