How To Transition From Summer To Fall Decor
As summer's vibrant colors gradually yield to the warmer hues of fall, it can be challenging to keep seasonal decor looking cohesive, especially when the weather is still warm or autumn hasn't fully set in. Today, I'd like to share some tips on how to seamlessly and naturally transition your decor from summer to fall.
1. Add faux branches in muted or green tones.
Decorate with large vases or containers filled with fall branches. This is sure to make a striking statement in any room. However, the traditional fall colors might seem out of place when the weather is still warm. To bridge this gap, try using “transitional” branches at the start of September, giving your home a subtle, early autumn feel.
2. Add copper accents throughout the home.
Incorporating copper accents into any room in September instantly brings a warm, inviting glow. This is particularly effective in the kitchen, where you can swap out any white accents for warm metallic pieces.
3. Use neutral colored pumpkins until the season progresses.
Decorating with the soft, muted tones of heirloom pumpkins or the simple white of mini pumpkins you find at the grocery store is a subtle way to introduce the season without changing your color scheme to fall tones.
4. Switch out any artwork to more season-themed landscape prints.
This is a simple solution to welcome the changing seaon into your home. Ditch any summertime or beach-themed prints for more season-specific landscape prints. This is a sure way to prepare your home for the vibe of fall.
5. Add some neutral (and cozy) blankets to the sofa.
If you're someone who tends to feel chilly no matter the season, having a cozy throw blanket on hand is a must. Even if you haven't reached for one in a while, now's the perfect time to grab a soft, knit throw to keep you warm as the cooler months approach. Opt for a blanket that not only provides comfort but also complements your living room decor. When you're not wrapped up in it, you can casually drape it over the back of your sofa, adding a touch of style to your space.
6. Light some season-specific candles.
Pumpkin-scented candles are easily one of the best parts of fall. Pick out a handful of scents that will bring you joy during the coming months, scatter them throughout your home.
