DECORATING IDEAS New Season brings new ideas for adding coziness into your space

Change the Artwork on Your Wall Wall art matters in interior design. It can affect the overall look of your interior so, whenever you decide to decorate your home for autumn, make sure that the artwork hanging on your wall, matches the warm color scheme. Pick abstract minimalist artworks or autumn-themed paintings/prints. They can be utilized to give the impression that it is larger, to draw attention to a particular aspect, or even to stimulate conversation.

Decorating Ideas to Bring Coziness into Your Space

MAKE YOUR HOME AUTUMN-READY

Play with Textures When we think of autumn, the first things that come into our mind are probably orange leaves, pumpkins, a warm seating area on a wooden porch, and other scenes with colors of red, orange, and gold. Texture evokes feelings of warmth and comfort. Fur fabrics for example look comfy against a rustic wooden or brick backdrop. To play with textures, pay attention to the walls, mantels, and flooring. Pick materials or décor elements to either mix or match.

Place Rugs Made of Natural Materials and Faux Animal Skin Rugs are a wonderful way to add pattern to otherwise bland rooms while also giving your home flair and charm. For an autumn-ready look, pick rugs made of natural fibers such as jute and sisal. Rugs that are made of faux animal skin such as cowhide, wool, sheepskin, and fur are also great alternatives.

Soft Furnishings Are Key When it comes to cozying up a space, soft furnishings like throw pillows and throws work like magic. Placing a throw casually in a stylish accent chair for example, instantly creates a visual layer that can make a room look and feel inviting. Adding colorful throws with varying textures and patterns also makes a room feel more autumnal. To give your living room the additional allure it needs on a cold evening, choose materials like velvet or wool. Throw blankets with fringe or tassels can give an area a cozy, rustic feel. 1398 Kildaire Farms Rd., Cary Decorate Your Fireplace The fireplace is the focal point of a living room. Decorating it for fall can help tie the overall aesthetic of your living room. Hang a mirror in the center and two sconces on either side of the fireplace mantel for a simple decoration idea. In front of the mirror, use a big vase as an anchor for the mantel, and then add smaller accents like vases, candlesticks, and decorative items. Don’t Forget to Place Dried Reed Bouquets in Vases Dried reeds are for autumn as vibrant florals are for spring. Decorating with dried reeds is perfect for making minimalist or contemporary interiors look visually cozier and warmer. Aside from the fact that they are stylish, dried reeds can also be bought online. There are a variety of dried reed arrangements that you can choose from.
