The transition from summer to fall is the time to make the seasonal switch to your home décor choices. Adding autumn touches to your home will help you step into the new season with excitement. However, as it’s not always possible and practical to make major updates with a season change, we point you four tips that will help you bring alive the season of fall in your home.

Fall themed artwork
Artwork has the power to change the mood instantly. Consider putting nature themed paintings in fall colors such as browns, burnt umber, oranges, or rusts. Alternatively, if you have some frames lying around, use them to display an autumn kissed leaf in red, yellow or orange.

Now that the temperature is beginning to drop, prepare your home by trading your lighter fabrics for heavier ones. Simply replace your cotton throws and blankets for heavy knits or faux fur to bring in a cozier element to your home. Make sure to pick deep fall shades to live up to your fall décor.
Fall aromas
When it comes to fall décor, it need not just be visual. Welcoming aromas like pumpkin pies, green apple, and a hint of spice can easily update your home into a fall mode. Consider using incense sticks and candles of heavier aromas to bring comfort and warmth into your home décor.

Fruits and veggies
To represent the change of season, keep a large bowl of autumn veggies and fresh fruits on your kitchen counter or use it as centerpiece for your dinner table. Not only will it look pretty, but will help you bring in a design element that has a seasonal touch. The decorative bowl can incorporate many things such as pumpkins, small squashes, apples and more. Make sure that pumpkins and squashes are of various colors and sizes.
The beginning of new season calls for a change in home décor. Use these simple and stylish ways to welcome fall into your home.

Hi Anchal,
Thanks for this lovely article, for me personally fall is my favourite times of the year. Seeing the transition from gorgeous greens to warm oranges, what could be better?
This isn’t just outside either; I love seeing homes that change seasonally, just like some of the tips you have provided here! Absolutely loved the tips on beddings and blankets and I think cushion covers and sofa covers fit right in here wouldnt you agree?
Awesome comments Ryan! Thanks so much for your fall ideas and always being a great follower of Stagetecture on Google+ 🙂
Hi Ryan,
Firstly, thanks for your valuable comment. Fall is my personal favorite too. There is something about the air that i just love. And yes, i completely agree about cushion and sofa covers. In fact, even curtains and other window treatments for that matter.
