This fall season is a great way to ease into winter. Fall also gives us an opportunity to create a warm cozy environment in our home. Although we traditionally think of fall colors as browns and oranges, take fall into your own hands and break the trend by introducing non- traditional colors into the home and really spice up the season of comfort! The pantone institute has predicted that 2009 fall colors like honey, American beauty, purple heart, iron, burnt sienna, crème brulee, majolica blue , warm olive, nomad, and rapture rose are the new orange! So just how does one bring these colors into our home in a stylish way? I thought you would never ask.
With summer coming to a close, a great way to maximize your time outdoors is with a patio heater for those chilly nights. The umbrella-mounted heater is a stylish accessory that provides warmth while saving space. It retails for about $150.00 and mounts on the upright of the umbrella post.
Speaking of chilly nights, bedding is a great way to introduce color into your bedroom…literally! Instead of changing out an expensive comforter every season, invest in a duvet and coverlet set. This way you can change out the filler with different weight material to adjust to the climate. You can also change out the coverlet to coincide with whatever season is in style.
Scented candles have always been a great way to create a cozy environment. They are also great ways to add a blast of temporary seasonal color into the home. I suggest using organic looking wooden candleholders to create even more of an autumn themed room.
Pillows are wonderful accessories to bring a room together in any season, but this year try using them outdoors as well to maximize the seasons. Creating a warm environment outdoors is especially important when the days get short and the nights are long…wait, I think that is a song!
Pewter is one of the fall colors that can be hard to introduce, but picture frames are an easy way to make the transition. Pewter is easy to mix with a wooden frame to make a natural elegant statement.
Well now that you know all the super secrets of decorating for fall, spend some time making your home as cozy as the season itself. Make yourself a nice dinner filled with fall favorites and live in style.
See you soon.
