Crafting a Cozy Transition into Fall at Home
Crafting a Cozy Transition into Fall at Home As summer nears the end, vibrant hues fade into the warm, rich tones of fall, creating the perfect time to transition your home into a cozy space. Seasonal interior design and home improvement upgrades can make your home a welcoming place for the cooler months. Here are some tips to help you seamlessly transition your home for fall. Interior Design Tips for Fall Embrace Warm Colors Incorporate the rich colors of autumn into your home decor. Think deep oranges, burnt siennas, warm yellows, and earthy browns. These hues can be introduced through throw pillows, blankets, area rugs, and even wall art. A few strategically placed items can make a significant impact on the ambiance of a room. The Engel & Völkers color palette is perfect for fall. If you’re looking to go bold and paint rooms in a warmer tone, look at Sherwin Williams Pompeii Red, Egret White, & Nearly Brown. Layer Textures Adding layers of different textures is an excellent way to create a cozy atmosphere. Combine soft fabrics like cashmere, wool, and faux fur with rougher textures such as wood and metal. Drape a chunky knit blanket over your sofa, place a wool rug underfoot, or add velvet cushions to your seating area. Want to learn more about combining textures? Take a look at our 2024 Design Guide. Update Lighting As days become shorter, lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood. Swap out harsh, bright lights for softer, warmer options. Consider adding floor lamps or table lamps with warm-toned bulbs to create a soothing glow. Candles are also a wonderful way to add warmth and a pleasant aroma to your home. Home Improvement Projects for Fall Enhance Your Entryway The entryway sets the tone for your home. Add a fall-themed doormat, and consider updating your front door with a fresh coat of paint in a warm, inviting color. Incorporate seasonal decorations such as pumpkins, gourds, and a wreath made of autumn leaves. Insulate and Weatherproof Prepare your home for cooler temperatures by ensuring it's well-insulated and weatherproofed. Check for drafts around windows and doors and seal any gaps. Adding weather stripping can help keep the cold air out and the warm air in, making your home more energy-efficient. Click here to learn more about preparing your home for the colder months. Fireplace Makeover If you have a fireplace, give it some attention. Clean the chimney to ensure it's safe to use, and consider updating the mantel with fall decorations. Even if you don't use the fireplace for heat, it can still serve as a focal point for seasonal decor. Little Fall Tips A Fresh Start to Your Morning For many of us, fall means back to work, school, and the early morning grind. Ensuring you have an early start to your day can set you up for success and the best day to do that is with a seasonal, pumpkin spice latte. Our partnership with Delonghi ensures you embrace the cozy comforts of fall with the perfect cup of coffee. Delonghi's state-of-the-art coffee makers can help you create a delightful and seasonal pumpkin spice latte at home.

Houseplants can also add a touch of greenery and help purify the air as you spend more time indoors. Cozy Reading Nook Create a cozy reading nook where you can relax with a good book. Choose a comfortable chair, add a soft throw blanket, and place a small table nearby for your favorite warm beverage. This dedicated space can become a personal retreat during the cooler months. Seasonal Scents Infuse your home with the scents of fall. Use essential oils, candles, or diffusers with fragrances like cinnamon, clove, vanilla, or apple. These scents can evoke the feeling of autumn and make your home feel even more inviting. By embracing these interior design tips, home improvement projects, and little fall touches, you can create a warm and welcoming environment that celebrates the beauty of the season.
