5 Decor Tips to Get Your Home Fall-Ready

5-decor-tips-to-get-your-home-fall-ready

Crisp autumn air is right around the corner and that has us thinking about our top five décor tips to get your home fall-ready. Look no further for our insights into trending fall interior design, and how you can give your home an upgrade for the changing season.

Considering upgrading your décor to hopefully sell your home? Find a realtor who can help give you tips for getting your property ready to sell. Plus, learn about some other common reasons why your home may not be flying to the closing table at record speed.

Deep Natural Hues

Our first tip to get your home fall-ready is to incorporate deep, natural tone hues into your space. Think rich chocolate browns, rust tones, shades of terracotta, saturated greens and blues, and moody deep tones of charcoal. The design trend of bringing the outdoors in is still a must-have feature for fall, but using the deeper tones of these shades makes the trend cozy and ready for the chilly season.

Make it Matte

The next décor tip we have is to integrate matte finish metals into your space. Shiny is out, and matte is in! Consider adding matte metals to your kitchen appliances, fixtures, and even décor pieces like picture frames, vases, and more. The options with matte metal are endless, so get creative!

Chunky Knit

You can’t consider your home to be fall-ready without incorporating some chunky knit blankets and throw pillows into the mix. Not only do these pieces accent your space, they also make everything feel more cozy and livable as the weather chills out. 

Select blankets and pillows in trendy natural-tone colors to ensure a serene space. In this same vein, upgrade your bedding to a thicker duvet and add extra linens to guest beds to ensure everyone is nice and warm during the cooler months.

Inspired by Nature

Get your home décor fall-ready by feeling inspired by nature. Integrate natural fall foliage with gourds, pumpkins, mums, and ornamental kale. Or consider integrating natural finishes in your décor pieces. Think adding a natural stone platter to center your coffee table, add leather or wooden pieces for a more natural and homey aesthetic. Then add in some scented candles to add natural, ultra-cozy light into your space. Bringing the beauty of fall inside is the best way to upgrade your home décor for the autumn season.

Textured Elements

Our final décor tip to get your home fall-ready is to add textured elements into your living space. Think heavy linens, faux furs, velvet finishes, and natural jute. All these fabrics offer a natural look and give a cozy feel. Selecting your fabrics in a chic plaid is another surefire way to integrate fall into your home.

We hope you feel inspired for the fall season after reading our top five décor tips to get your home fall-ready. Giving your space an upgrade can make everything feel refreshed and ready for the changing season.

Neutral Fall Decor Favorites from Amazon

neutral-fall-decor-favorites-from-amazon

Neutral fall decor is my favorite look for the season. I know that we are very used to seeing those vibrant orange, red and yellow tones or even rich eggplant and burgundy for the fall season – but if you know anything about my personal taste, neutrals are my style!

What I love about neutral fall decor – is it is so simple to add to your existing palette because very simply – it’s neutral! The fall season is so full of amazing natural textures so by decorating with neutral tones you can really celebrate and embrace gorgeous textures straight from nature (like wood, botanicals and stone).

Neutral Fall Decor Inspo…

Let me share with you some inspiring neutral fall decor home decor images. I always like to seek out new ways to add touches of the season to my own space.

Adding just a touch of a fall hue is a nod to the season but isn’t overwhelming with rich colours. I like to add pumpkins in my kitchen, entry, family room and if I’m entertaining the dining room. I love heirloom pumpkins because their tones are muted and balance well with other soft neutral tones.

I love to play with texture in general but there is something about mixing texture when it comes to decorating for the fall season. Mixing wool with leather (or faux leather), linen and adding those natural elements like (faux) pampas grass or (faux) cotton stems. It adds an immediate feeling of comfort and makes the space feel cozy and welcoming. Again not everything needs to be orange and rusty red just a few pops of those tones will do – or opt for a completely neutral theme.

HOME TOUR

Hill Street : Fall Home Tour

hill-street-fall-home-tour

Fall is finally here! Yep, I’m that person who just loves fall.  Sweater weather, plaid, boots, baseball ending and football starting, the trees, the apples the pumpkins, the crisp air….I love it all. Fall is a beautiful time of year with the changing of the leaves and all of the great textures.

 

Fall Home Tour

Once the kids are back in school, I honestly ask myself “Is it too early to decorate?” I do wait until it is officially fall to bring out my decor but it’s hard to wait! Let me take you on a tour of my home and how I like to celebrate the season with decor.

Front Porch

My home’s exterior is a fairly traditional Tudor style home. The front porch is fairly large but to be completely honest, my family does not enter our home through the front door just guests. But I love to use this space to celebrate this season (and every other season). My door is a creamy neutral tone so any wreath will stand out.  One of my favourite elements of fall is texture.  This wheat straw wreath is simple and I just love it!

 

 

Living Room

I personally prefer a more neutral and subtle fall decor look in my main living space. It is soothing yet still celebrates the season.  In the summer months, this Eucalyptus wreath is on my front door but I love it so much I decided to add it to my mantle.

I love this cute ‘Autumn’ garland.  In burlap and muted fall tones.  It plays into the rooms neutral colour concept, too!

About my brick fireplace, I will have to write a post about it….this I painted in a dry brush technique. I wanted to see some of the reddish tones of the brick but it was so dark, I wanted to tone the red down (and brighten up the room)

 

 

Fall is all about cozy nights by the fireplace. So knitted blankets are a must! Since you can only display so many on the sofa (and chairs), baskets are a great storage and display piece to play into the theme.

I’m a big fan of decorating with trays and I have on there on my cowhide ottoman, it holds our remotes, coasters and these cute decorative pumpkins that I found at Target!

Top 10 Fall Decor Pieces

top-10-fall-decor-pieces

Fall is coming….yes, my favourite season is almost here! Fall is THE most beautiful season for so many reasons – the crisp air, the colourful leaves, all of the cozy textures and natural ones, too! I love celebrating new seasons with changing up my home decor, it’s so simple to add some new pieces to your current space and the results make it all feel brand new! Here are my top 10 fall decor pieces:

Top 10 Fall decor Pieces:

1.Pumpkins

Nothing quite says fall like pumpkins. These faux decor pumpkins in this creamy white tone are perfect for a centerpiece or a grouping by a fireplace.

 

2. Rustic Signs

 

The fall is all about celebrating the harvest. Adding a rustic element is a great way to add a little country to your home.  I love rustic signs – they have a farmhouse feel ! This rustic fall themed sign would be a great piece to add instead of a wreath or add to a fireplace mantle display.

 

3. Wreath

The colours of fall are so spectacular and should be celebrated! This wreath is the perfect addition to a door or decorating a fireplace or styling a console table. I love the mix of colours and textures in this wreath!

 

4. Glassware

So not the typical ‘fall decor piece’ but these mason jar glasses are adorable! Mason jars are a great way to embrace a rustic look without going over board plus the messaging here is fall inspired – do you love pumpkin spice?

 

5. Chunky Knit Blanket

I am ALWAYS cold! True story. So blankets and throws are always a must when it comes to styling a sofa and in the cooler fall months, a chunky knit blanket is non-negotiable. I love the cozy elements and the softness of course, but the bulky knitted texture adds a great visual elements to any room! These chunky knit blankets are just gorgeous!

 

6.  Plaid

When the cooler weather arrives, the plaid flannel shirts start to come out – am I right? So add some plaid to your fall decor scheme. It works on beds, armchairs and of course, sofas. I love the simplicity of these Buffalo Check pillow covers. You can add plaid to your home decor in other ways, for some ideas – click here

 

7. Candles

 

So much about what I love about fall are the incredible scents – pumpkin, vanilla, apple, spicy, woodsy….I love them all. An Apple Cider candle adds another layer of cozy to any home during the fall months.  I love the scent of these handmade candles and I love the simple label, too!

 

8. Wood

I love dough bowls and not just because I have a weakness for fresh bread….I love them because I love that rustic character that they bring to a kitchen. Dough bowls are a perfect and simple way to display some mini pumpkins or apples during the fall months – set it out on a kitchen island or dining table. I love the simple design and imperfections of this dough bowl

 

9. Metal Pitcher

This rustic metal farmhouse pitcher is perfect for all seasons, not just the fall.  Place any foliage or branches (real or faux) to bring some of the outdoors indoors…..

 

10. Natural elements

I love simple decor and these faux acorns are easy to use to add a bit of a woodsy feel to your decor.  Add them to a centerpiece (or maybe in your dough bowl arrangement) but I like to fill my simple glass vases with acorns like these and display them on my fireplace mantle or coffee table.

 

I hope my top 10 fall decor pieces have inspired you to embrace the upcoming season and bring a little outdoors inside. What are you favourite things about fall?

8 Fall Home Decor Must-Haves

8-fall-home-decor-must-haves

Fall is one of our favourite seasons- we love the crisp weather, the cozy sweaters but mostly we love the gorgeous colours and all the beauty that this season has to offer!

Here are some of our favourite staples to celebrate the Fall season:

 

1 – Exterior

– create a welcoming vignette at the front door.  This is such an inviting way to greet guests.  We love a bench or chair with some burlap pillows, pumpkins and a wreath.  So simple but so stylish.

2 – Orange

– orange is a great colour, it works with all decor styles and it looks great with neutrals.  Try adding some small accents of orange to your regular home decor.

3 – Metallics

– if you want a more glamorous or luxurious nod to fall, try playing with metallic tones like gold, bronze and copper.   This is a great look anywhere but we love it on a fireplace mantle or a dining table centerpiece. These tones really compliment the season.

4 – Nature

– add the beauty of nature to your space.  A simple floral or branch arrangement is easy.  A bowl of apples, gourds, corn, wood etc…the sky is the limit!  Bring the beauty of the outdoor indoors.

5 – Plaid

– this pattern is synonymous with the fall season.  It has a cozy factor and there are endless choice in terms of colours and styles.  To add a touch of coziness to your space this fall season, add some plaid! Pillows and blankets are easy ways to do that!

6 – Texture

– this time of year we see some many textures outside, the trees, leaves, pumpkins, gourds plus all of the textures in our fall clothing.  Bring that inspiration inside and play with textures in your space. And don’t forget to add some soft and cozy textures like chunky knitted blankets and (faux) fur pieces like pillows and throws.

7 –  Animals

– we have seen deer heads and antlers (real and faux) for a while in home decor – it had a bit of an ironic twist but now we are seeing the beauty of animals in pillows and art.

8 – Lanterns

– the days are getting shorter this time of year, so add some more light with a flame.  This adds another layer of lighting plus it adds to the scene.  Lanterns are a great element to add to your decor, too – they add a rustic touch!

Fall is my favourite season and I just love to bring in my favourite pieces of this season – texture, colour and natural elements make my home so cozy. I hope you enjoy decorating for this stunning season, too!
