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.

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?

Friday Favourites : Fall decor finds

friday-favourites-fall-decor-finds

We know that summer is still here and we are soaking up the fun in the sun but fall isn’t that far away and of course, we love fall decor! The fall is all about adding nature elements to your space and getting cozy with soft textures – we love the harvest theme and of course those stunning fall tones.

So in preparation for one of our favourite seasons we have rounded up some of our favourite fall decor finds.

Fall decor finds:

A definite fall decor must are some pumpkins…we are really loving the look of white pumpkins – they work with a more modern or contemporary style home or anyone who just doesn’t want to dive right into the orange, red and golden tones of the season.  These white pumpkins look great in a simple bowl, add them to a tablescape or style them on a tray or coffee table.

 

Pillows are a fun a simple way to spruce up your decor and celebrate the season or holiday.  again we are loving these unconventional autumn tones like the warm whites and even light blue tones.  This pillow is a wonderful addition – we love it for an entry vignette.

 

We love curling up with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine on those crisp fall days.  We don’t turn the heat on just yet so we wrap up in a chunky knit blanket – this chunky knit blanket is perfect for a bedroom or living room.  The chunky texture adds a lot of character to any space.

We love inspirational words and quotes in our homes, on pillows or wall decor.  This ‘grateful and blessed’ sign is a great reminder for the everyday but it fits perfectly with the Thanksgiving holiday.

Candle light is a great way to add ambience to your space – whether it is a bubble bath, a romantic dinner or just relaxing at home with a movie or book – candles really add soft and subtle lighting to the room.  We love these flameless LED candles – they are very authentic looking and we love that they are safe.

Fall decor is really about embracing the beauty of nature.  Bringing in the tones and textures that we see outside and bringing them inside – this wood dough bowl has a rustic look and it’s perfect for a kitchen island – fill it with seasonal fruit like apples for a simple and healthy snack.

A fall wreath is a must and we love the farmhouse look of this wreath – the mix of neutral tone sand textures is just beautiful and is quite transitional  in style plus this wreath comes with some personalizing options like scent and the message on the sign!

Fall is such a beautiful time of year to celebrate and when it comes to fall decor finds there are so many and we will likely find some more fall decor inspiration through our shopping excursions but for now these are our fall favourites…
