SWAP OUT YOUR DECOR FOR FALL

Fall is upon us and the temperatures are beginning to drop, the leaves are changing too and school has started.  These are a few of the signals it's time to swap out your seasonal decor.  You might already be thinking about changing your wardrobe from summer to fall or looking at some colder weather recipes like soup and casseroles.  But have you thought about changing up your home? Here are some ideas that will help you transition from summer to fall:

• Change to heavier, darker more “fall colored” pillows 
• Adding chunkier, or heavier throws
• Use seasonal flowers like Chrysanthemums, Aster, Dianthus or Black Eyed Susan's
• Adding pumpkins or gourds to your vignettes
• Decorative lanterns look like fall and can be filled with pumpkins, candles or leaves
• Add the yummy fall smells of pumpkins, apples, spices or caramels

It doesn't take a lot of money or time to warm up the main rooms of your home for autumn.  I hope you will try these six quick updates using things you probably already have at home.  So pack away your  light and airy summer décor in favor of cozy velvets, faux furs and corduroys.  Add in the rich colors of fall and deep textures with blankets.  Baskets are another way to say fall and store things out of site too.  If you love decorating now is the time to switch things up.  If you are struggling give me a call, and I'll help!
