As we say hello to dropping temperatures, pumpkin-flavored treats and cool breezes, it’s around this same time that we start to wonder how we can bring some seasonal change into our homes.

Home decor has always been a fun little passion of mine, but since I have recently moved into a new place, that passion has turned into a bit of an obsession. I’m always on Pinterest saving home styling ideas, and I can just tell you that I have had such a good time decorating my first little home.

Each season I try to give my house a little cleanup and refresh. Now that we’re heading into fall, it’s that time again to pick up some items and get to styling!

Here are a few of my favorite tips to give your home an instant fall refresh.

Fall is the time I really start incorporating a lot of soft furs and warm knits into my bedroom. You can quickly toss a chunky throw onto your bed for use on those chilly evenings when the temperature drops. You can also easily warm up your couch with some faux fur pillows, or maybe you can even throw in a sheepskin rug or two in the living room area.

Incorporate Fall colors

When planning a fall refresh for any room in your home, try going for colors that really scream fall. Dark colors like maroon, camel, olive, and burgundy all fit into the spirit of autumn. Also, when deciding on the colors for your bedroom, try to go with ones that evoke a sense of calm and serenity.

Storage and Style

One of the easiest ways to bring some chic fall décor into your home is by getting your hands on some braided or woven baskets. I personally love the idea of having a basket in my home to house larger potted plants or as the resting place for all my warm, fuzzy blankets, but the options are truly endless.

Now is the time to bring out the books! When fall rolls in, so does the desire to cozy up with a good book, so it’s good to have them on hand. You can also start infusing a little bit of your personality and style into your home. Once you have found your personal style, you can even begin to decorate the house with seasonal scented candles and botanicals to keep it nice and cozy.
