Cozy Up Your Home
For Fall

2. Yes, it may be 80 degrees outside, but I can’t get my mind off the next season, fall.
As summer winds down, it’s time to put the summer linens and beach decor away in
exchange for fuzzy blankets and autumnal decor. To transform your house for the
fall weather, there is no need to go overboard with time or money. Adding a few key
pieces can create the same cozy atmosphere that fall radiates.

3. Comfy Throws
To make your couches truly nap-worthy,
add a chunky blanket or Afghan.
Blankets can make even the most
masculine leather couch look inviting.
Go with a season-inspired color like
mustard, burnt orange, or warm oatmeal.
Not only with the blankets keep you
warm, but inject some warmth and color
into the space.

4. Exchange Your
Throw Pillows
An easy decor transition to fall is
switching up your throw pillows. Next to
chunky blankets, plush pillows easily
create an inviting environment. Don’t be
afraid to mix patterns and textures. If you
are feeling especially festive, you can
find pumpkin-themed pillows in stores
like Home Goods or Marshalls. Add
throw pillows to your couch or even to a
bench in an entryway.

5. Add Fresh-Cut
Fall Flowers
Adding fresh-cut flowers to your kitchen
counter or table helps to keep your
space festive and fresh.
Chrysanthemums and sunflowers are
the perfect autumnal blooms to have on
display. You can pick up a bouquet from
your local farmer’s market or even the
grocery store down the street.

6. Switch Your
Summer Quilt
For a Duvet
Your summer quilt might not withstand
the chillier nights of fall. With the switch
to a colder season, pack away your
summer quilt away and replace it with a
duvet comforter. On top of staying warm
and cozy at night, your bed will appear
to be more plush and comfortable.

7. Create a Glowing
Ambiance With
Candles
To create a warm light at night, try
burning a few of your favorite candles.
Clustering a few candles together, you
can emulate the feeling of a fireside but
without the fireplace. If you plan on
creating a bundled arrangement, use
candles of varying height and breadth to
add interest.
