How to get the cozy fall aesthetic in your home

Here are some of my favorite ways to get the cozy fall aesthetic in your home decor.

Decorate with textures

Textures are a really easy way to make your room feel interesting without necessarily bringing in tons of color.

Textures might include smooth velvets, nubby sweater knits, faux fur, and rough sisal. Also think about textures on things like vases, frames, and lamps. It's a great way to add interest!

Add layers and layers

Layer on throw pillows and blankets for a warm, cozy, and inviting look.

Bring in fall colors

A literal way to decorate for fall is to swap out your normal decorating colors and replace them with things in fall colors - pumpkin orange, burnt red, brown, tan, mustard yellow.

Create a reading nook

Nothing says cozy like curling up with a good book! Create a reading nook in a corner to give your space a whole next level cozy vibe.

Candles set the fall mood

Candles are a great way to make a space feel warm and intimate. No candles, no problem. Cut off the overhead lights and add twinkle lights, lamps, or even sconces for mood lighting.

Pumpkins of course

Pumpkins are as fall as it gets and decorating with them will make your space instantly feel like a crisp fall day!

How can I make my house feel more like fall?

For your home to feel fall, you want it to feel warm and cozy. This means candles or twinkle lights, layered blankets and pillows, textured accessories, and autumn aesthetic colors.

How do you decorate a fall countertop?

To transform your counter for the new time of year, empty out any decorative baskets, bins, or trays. Replace the contents with fall items such as:

• branches
• acorns
• pumpkins
• candles in fall scentes
• vase with texture

How do you decorate for fall on a budget?

To save money, keep it simple and decorate with things you already have. Keep it simple - less really is more - and get rid of any excess for a clean look. Magazines never have tons of junk sitting around!

If you have old colorful decor that you no longer love, consider spray painting it into fall colors.

Bring out all of your old throw pillows and throw blankets and put them in one space for a dramatic layered look.

Cluster scented candles in one area for a big impact.

Gather branches, acorns, pine cones, or leaves from outdoors and use them for free autumn decor.
