As we get into the swing of the season, the longing for nostalgia, hayrides, baked goods, warmth, simplicity, and Halloween has settled in. Like our hearts, fall has made its way into our homes this year with new trends. This year, the season has inspired multiple home interior decorations.
Enjoy a few fall comforts (without the cold temperatures) at home with five of the ageless trends for this season!
Be Cozy in Style
It’s officially sweater weather — being cozy is now of the utmost importance! Creating a living space that personifies warmth and comfort can easily be achieved with a few key decorations, patterns, and bold pieces of furniture to create a comfortable environment. Picture a living room with soft fabrics, lots of layers, candles, thick blankets, warm lighting, and a hot mug of your favorite drink when decorating. The cozy aesthetic should give the feeling of a warm hug: inviting, comfortable, and never wanting to let go.
Texture, Texture, and Texture
Nothing says fall spirit like layers, especially layers of texture. A great way to achieve this appearance is with textured materials like soft velvet or chunky knits with durable materials like sisal or leather. These textured fabrics can be used throughout the room as throw pillows, blankets, or furniture slipcovers. Textured upholstery makes for a great visual element, using fabrics like boucle, houndstooth, or jute. Another way to complete the layered aesthetic is with rugs, throws, and pillows, along with simple color palettes to tie the room together for the season.
Velvety Goodness
Making a major comeback this fall is the plush and luxurious velvet. Such a soft material is perfect for getting cozy indoors on colder days. From furniture to pillows or blankets to drapes, velvet is a comfortable soft-to-the-touch fabric that keeps the warmth in and the cold out, making it a great addition to creating a fall ambiance. The best thing about velvet in fall is being able to go with bold yet cool colors — green, mustard, rust, or navy without taking away from the desired seasonal atmosphere.
Candles
Candles are stepping up their décor game, as people crave coziness this fall. Whether you’re breaking out the candles to bring the smell of leaves, bonfires, and pumpkin spice lattes inside, or to give a room a gentle and inviting glow, or even a dark, macabre atmosphere for Halloween to decorate your home, they all have the spirit of the season. They are a great substitute if you lack a fireplace but still want to achieve a cozy aesthetic by supplying a warm, soft glow accompanied by a fresh apple pie scent. Use candles to complement any seasonal setting since candles appearances can vary in size, fragrance, simplicity, and color to match the styles of simple and comfortable or dark and complex.
Plaid, Not Bad
Another trend that embodies the fall spirit is plaid. Whether it is a pillow, blanket or throw, or rug, it can bring a touch of autumn to any room with its simple pattern. This pattern is versatile, bringing a splash of color or a hint of class to a room depending on the color scheme desired. Neutral tones — tans, browns, black, white, or navy- are great for an elegant style. For a cozier atmosphere, vibrant red, blue, yellow, or green shades would be perfect and create the safe, secure, and warm feeling of being home.
