How to Transition Your Home from Summer to Fall
‘Tis the season for pumpkin spice, bonfires, and apple cider. As the summer days start to cool down, it's the perfect time to start cozying up your fall home decor. Not sure where to start? Dive into some tips from our interior designers to transition your home smoothly:
1. Warm Up with Colors
It’s time to say goodbye to the bold colors of summer and bring in the warm neutrals. This can be through your throw pillows, blankets, and decor pieces. Here is the fall color guide to follow:
Rich Colors:
Earthy Neutrals
Touches of Metal:
2. Layer on Comfort
With the beach (or pool!) days coming to a close, your home will be making the transition from outdoor days to cozy nights. This means breaking out all of the blankets, throws, and even rugs that bring out that extra touch of comfort.
Throws and Blankets: Drape soft, plush throws over your furniture. Wool, faux fur, or chunky knits are perfect for fall.
Pillows: Swap lightweight summer pillows for heavier, textured ones in the fall colors we listed above. Mix different sizes, shapes, and patterns for a cozy look.
Indoor and Outdoor Rugs: Consider a thicker rug with a deeper pile for warmth underfoot. Natural fibers like wool or jute work well.

3. Bring in Fall Decorations
Now for the best part, accessorizing! Break out those bins in the attic or basement and add those seasonal decor to celebrate autumn:
Natural Elements: Decorate with pumpkins, gourds, and dried leaves. Arrange them around the house or in bowls and vases.
Candles and Lighting: Add warm-toned lights to complement your decor, and use candles with fall scents like cinnamon or pumpkin spice to complete the space.
Seasonal Wall Art: Swap out the summer-themed artwork for pieces that reflect fall. Think botanical prints, landscapes with autumn colors, or a festive wreath.
