Cozy Ways to Decorate Your Home this Season

No matter where you live and what the temperature is outside, fall is a magical time of year. If you’re lucky enough to live where the leaves are changing and the weather is chilly, there is nothing better than making your home feel cozy inside. Even if you live where it’s warm year-round, it is still fun to get in the spirit of the holidays and enjoy time with friends and family. Here are 10 cozy ways to decorate your home this fall!

1. Bring the Outside In

Fall is the time of year when the outside colors are beautiful, yet we all want to cuddle up inside by the fire. In order to make your home feel cozy, try embracing the outside fall aesthetic inside the home. Branches, leaves, greenery, and colors can go a long way in making your home feel inviting. Fall is an enchanting time of year, and it is definitely one of the most fun seasons to decorate for! 

2. Warm and Neutral Color Palette

We all know that fall colors include dark oranges and deep reds, which are cozy on their own. However, incorporating off-white and other neutral colors into your décor along with deeper accents can add another dimension of comfort to your home this year. Try adding a gray cable knit blanket with orange throw pillows on your dark brown leather couch.

3. Pumpkins Are Always In Style

Pumpkins are everyone’s favorite accessory for fall because they never get old! Pumpkins and gourds of all shapes, sizes, and colors can be added to any centerpiece, front porch, or backyard to create the perfect, cozy setting. Carve your pumpkins, paint your pumpkins, or leave them the way they are—no matter what, they will fit right in.

4. Front Porch and Entryway Décor

In order to set the mood for your home as "cozy and inviting" this fall, be sure to make both your front porch and foyer lively with added embellishment. That way, when people enter, they already feel welcome and in the spirit of the season. Try including an array of colors and textures that are both soft and warm.

7. Don’t Forget Your Mantle

Your mantle is a great place to add fall décor where it won’t get in the way of your everyday activities. Include greenery and cornhusks with some sort of center focal point such as a cornucopia! Everyone’s eyes will be drawn to your festive arrangement, and they can also enjoy the fire below.

8. Books Make a Home

While your guests may not be visiting long enough to read the books on your coffee table, adding a stack to the table is still a good idea. Books can make a space feel more like home because it welcomes the idea of relaxation and reflection. Most people love the idea of cozying up with a good book by the fire in the fall. Bring this idea to life in your living room.

9. Lower the Lighting

Bright overhead lights can make a room feel cold and uninviting. In order to keep your home cozy, consider lowering your lighting to lamps and candles this fall. There’s nothing better than a dimly lit room that is warmed by a fire and the laughs of friends and family.

10. Keep Firewood Nearby

Firewood is both practical and a great way to add natural fall décor to a living or dining room. Keep a small stack of firewood on display in order to add a rustic vibe to the room while also conveniently keeping that fire aflame for your guests.
