5 Easy Ways To Refresh Your Home For Fall

Giving your home a seasonal refresh for fall is a whole lot easier than you might think! In fact, with just a few thoughtful swap-outs, and a more intentional approach to new purchases, you’ll be ready to host, celebrate, and cuddle up for autumn in no time. Our team of design experts curated the perfect collection of fall furniture and home decor to help inspire you on your way through this year’s top trends for the season, and now they’re sharing their favorite pro tips for an easy, smart, and cozy autumn refresh. Pour yourself a mug of something warm, pull on some thick socks, and let’s welcome in a new season of comfort and style!

1. Bring On The Pillows And Throw Blankets

Since fall is often known for a crisp shift in the weather, and a generally slower pace, our designers love swapping out brighter summertime accent pillows for those with more neutral earth tones, and luxurious textures. Think plush fabrics, nature-inspired patterns, and rich burgundy, chocolate, and caramel color palettes for an instant, but manageable design refresh. Loloi’s quilted velvet pillows, for example, are made from 100% cotton, and come in a variety of seasonal colors to add a cozier touch to any room. Incorporating extra blankets like the handwoven wool throws from Jaipur Living, made with centuries-old techniques and expert craftsmanship, are another great way to bring a sense of warmth into your space that lets you curl up in comfort as leaves fall outside.

2. Swap Out And Warm Up Your Bedding

Creating a decadent autumn feel in your bedroom is simple when you change out your lightweight sheets and duvets for heavier fabrics, and darker hues. Layering blankets with contrasting textures make bedtime something you can really sink your body into as the days get shorter, and nights become an added opportunity to indulge. Try Jaipur Living’s Mystic Moss Pillow and Throw Bundle for an instant color and texture revamp that’s as memorable to the touch as it is beautiful. If you’re looking for a relaxed and comforting look that reflects the effortless elegance of nature, you might also fall in love with Libeco’s Highland Stripe Coverlet and matching pillow covers. Made in a luxurious linen and wool blend, this set is sure to make a seasonal statement, while keeping you warm and dreaming deep all night long.

3. Reimagine Your Table For Holiday Meals

When it comes to setting the table for fall celebrations and holiday gatherings, you can achieve a lot with even the smallest of additions. Set a sophisticated, autumn mood with vases and taper candles from the Floral Society, or rotate your ceramic dishware to include more seasonal colors like Big Sky blues and burnt oranges, or Wine Dark Sea burgundy from East Fork Pottery. In the spirit of families and friends coming together for hearty, harvest meals and extended quality time, our experts suggest looking for finishing touches that highlight a sense of traditions passed through generations with love. Heirloom-inspired flatware like the stainless steel cutlery from Farmhouse Pottery is not only a functional way to delight your guests, but a lasting investment that can transform everyday dining experiences into unforgettable memories with the ones you love.

4. Refresh The Mood With Lighting

Changing seasons bring a shift in natural light too; the autumn sun sets earlier each day, and cooler temperatures can seem to make daylight feel a little less bright. As part of your fall home refresh, it’s a good idea to balance these outdoor changes with thoughtful lighting adjustments that complement the additional hours we’ll spend indoors. Look for table pieces like the ceramic Soloma lamp or the Bronte Travertine lamp from Troy Lighting that give a serene glow to your rooms through nature-inspired shapes and design elements. Adding a floor lamp like the Paper Moon 5 by Asano can also make a space feel more expansive with the soft and ethereal effects of Japanese washi paper. You can even bring a more eye-catching pop of light to a nook or reading corner with a Ramo Floor Lamp from Cisco Home, whose distinct aesthetic is an intriguing conversation piece to enjoy while you rest and recharge.

5. Update The Feel Of Your Space With Rugs

While our team always believes that maximizing the comfort of your home should be a year-round priority, there may be no better time to highlight this pursuit than fall. Chilly mornings and crisp night air are perfect excuses to include rugs of all shapes and sizes in your home decor. Discover classic styles like the Aposio Pranhita Hand Knotted Rug by Jaipur Living, made from 100% wool. Unassuming, but notable for its light-catching pile, this piece is an alluring addition to warm up even the busiest areas of the house. You might also try layering multiple rugs with contrasting patterns and materials for a bold, and inviting look. The generous texture and statement-worthy design of the Ventris Rug, for example, could be layered nicely with a rug that showcases a more solid design and tempered color scheme. Let your own style and creativity guide you, and don’t be afraid to experiment with the size and placement of your rugs too.
