Change your mantle décor
If you have a fireplace and a mantle, you can quickly and easily change the decorations above and one the mantle from your summer items to the fall look. Use layered pieces with large prints behind smaller prints, and use some framed artwork to welcome in the fall season. You can run a garland of orange, yellow, and red leaves across the mantle to give it the truly seasonal look that you want to enjoy. This central area of your home is a great place to begin your seasonal transition.
Create a backyard firepit
Summer evenings can be too hot to have a firepit with a fire in it, but not the fall nights. One of the best seasonal décor swaps can happen outside. Take down the sprinkler and the water fun of summer and put out the Adirondack chairs, blankets, and a fire pit to give you a wonderful area to enjoy the warmth of a fire on a cool autumn evening. Don’t forget to have some s’mores stuff on hand for a sweet treat.
Change out those pillows
Many homes that make seasonal color changes have throw pillows for the sofas and chairs that match the season. Using some orange, yellow, and burgundy pillows around your home, you can give your home a fall look that you’re sure to admire and enjoy. If you don’t want to buy new pillows for every season because of cost and space, simply purchase some pillow covers that can be removed and changed for each season. This is an easy and economical way to have the seasonal look you want to enjoy.
Set your table for fall
In addition to the mantle area, your dining room table is another major area where you can make seasonal décor swaps that remind you of the wonderful colors of the season. Put some wonderful warm colors and neutral pieces out for fall, and make sure you have a table accentuated with gold and orange to give you the right look. If you want a bit of drama on your table, add black or navy dishes to add the darkness that symbolizes the sun going down sooner in the day.
