Saying goodbye to summer is always bittersweet, but as the warm weather fades away and the leaves begin to change, we know we have something else to look forward to: fall. There is no denying the beauty of the changing of the leaves, or the gentle ease into cooler weather, but there is an entirely different reason to be looking forward to autumn this year... your home! Fall is a season full of home décor changes, from rethinking your lighting, to infusing warm colors and textures into your design. It can be a little overwhelming, imagining all that you can accomplish between the end of the summer season and winter on the horizon, but we at Decorsify are here to help! Below is a list of fall design trends and ideas that you should keep an eye out for when doing your own fall décor planning.

Shag Rugs

Shag rugs are unique and distinct, making them a class apart from other traditional-style rugs. They’re attractive and appealing to the eye, and with the right color scheme they can bring your entire space together. Shags can be used with ease in a variety of different places, like your bedroom, home office, hallway, child’s bedroom or nursery, dining room, etc. They can also fit a handful of distinctive styles, ranging anywhere from mid-century modern to ranch-style homes. What makes shags stand out from other rugs, alongside their notable appearance, is the use of multiple materials in making them. The soft and comfortable rugs come from materials like polyester, wool, acrylic, faux fur, and so much more – this gives you dozens of different options to choose from when deciding which shag rug would be the best fit for you. With a silky and soft feel, and a look that will stand out against other traditional rugs, shags are a must-have for your fall décor!

DIY Projects

Everyone loves DIY projects, and fall is the perfect season to let your creativity roam! There are plenty of different do-it-yourself projects that can help emphasize your favorite parts of your home, all while saving money! Make a wreath out of pinecones, make your own fall-scented candles in mason jars or fall-colored mugs, transform a faux pumpkin into a nightlight by poking holes in it and inserting a nightlight, or turn it into a fall-themed vase by removing the top and putting in your favorite bouquet of flowers. The best thing about fall and DIY’s is that most of your project’s materials are just outside your door! Pinecones, thin branches, dried leaves – all of these can come together to make your home like an autumn-themed Pinterest board!

Earth Tones Everywhere

Whether you’re changing your curtains, your throw pillows, or the paint on your walls... the easiest way to make sure your home screams “fall” this season is to incorporate warmer, earthy colors. You can pick any of these colors to be the center theme of your room – reds, oranges, yellows, browns, dark greens – and your space will be enveloped in autumn. It doesn’t take a lot to change the color scheme of your home; changing your area rug and a few other minute details will do the trick.

Seasonal Everything

There are surprisingly very few aspects of a home that you can’t change to accompany the changing of the season. Everything from the mugs you use in the kitchen to the pair of boots you leave by the door can be incorporated into the autumn feel of your space. In living spaces, add fall-scented candles to your table, incorporate neutral-shaded decorations, include a ‘giving thanks’ pillow or two. In your bedroom, try changing out your lighting to something warmer, even if that just means switching a lampshade; inversely, try and let in more natural light through some warm-toned curtains. In the kitchen, leave out a bowl of (real or not) seasonal fruit and vegetables, especially pumpkins and squash. And of course, make sure your entryway – whether it be a front porch or only the front door – is decked out in fall attire: an autumn-themed doormat, another pumpkin, and a wreath that embodies the colors of the changing leaves.
