Your Fall Home Decor Isn't Complete Without These 4 Cozy Trends
We all know that fall is the best season of the year. The leaves start changing color, the weather becomes cool and crisp, and pumpkin-flavored everything starts cropping up everywhere. But one of the best things about fall is decorating our homes in cozy autumnal style! So if you're looking for inspiration, check out these four trends to add a touch of fall coziness to your space.
Take a Fall Shelfie
Shelfies are all the rage these days, and for a good reason - they're cute, Instagrammable, and add a personal touch to your decor. Here are a few tips for creating the perfect fall shelfie: First, choose a focal point for each shelf. Make sure to start lighter in weight up top, moving down towards your heavier and bulkier items below. For example, you could use a vase of autumn leaves, a cute sign that says "Gather Here," or even a pumpkin or two. Then, build your shelfie with smaller items that complement your focal point. Think leaves, pinecones, candles, and anything else that screams "fall." Finally, don't forget the finishing touches! A few well-placed books, some glass jars, and maybe even a string of fall-themed garland will bring your shelfie to life.
2. Arrange a Dried Natural Centerpiece
There's something about dried flowers that screams "autumn." Maybe it's their muted colors or their fragile petals. Whatever the reason, a dried flower arrangement is a perfect way to add a touch of fall to your home. Plus, they're surprisingly easy to make! All you need is a vase and your favorite fall florals. Natural and Peach Baby's Breath, Goldbeard Wheat, Blackbeard Wheat, and Lotus Pods make great choices. Arrange the stems in the vase until you're happy with the shape. If you'd like to add color and volume, consider Dried Lavender and Pampas Grass. So, whether you keep it simple or go all out, a dried natural fall arrangement is the perfect work of art that will bring the beauty of fall into your home.
3. Add Fall Accents to Your Faux Wreaths
There's something about fall that feels wreath-worthy. Maybe it's the colorful leaves or the crisp autumn air. Whatever the reason, adding a few fall accents like Dried Goldbeard Wheat or Dried Baby's Breath to your faux wreaths is a great way to give them a seasonal update. Or, if you're looking for something more festive, try incorporating some small pumpkins or gourds. And don't forget to add a little ribbon or burlap to give it that homemade touch. Finally, hang your wreath on your front door or in a window to welcome guests into your home this autumn.
4. Build an Autumn Garland for Your Mantel
One of the easiest and most effective ways to usher in the fall feeling is to swap out your light, airy summer mantel decorations for a more cozy and inviting autumn garland. This year, try something different by using a faux garland as your base. Add some fake branches for extra color and volume, then pile on the pumpkins, acorns, and leaves. Not only is this decoration fun and easy to put together, but it will also last you throughout the entire season.
