A few small changes can completely alter the vibe of your space. Are you ready to cozy up your family room for fall? We’ll explain how:
As we near the end of September, the home décor world is swirling with new and exciting décor ideas for fall.
Take a look around your space: is your family room still stuck in summer mode?
If you’re not sure how to transition into the new season, you’re not alone. We’ve come up with a few ways to cozy up your family room and prepare for the harvest-!nspired season ahead!
Cozying Up For Fall Tip #1: Tone Down Your Colors
Light and bright colors were all the rage during summer.
Now that we’re gearing up for October, one of the easiest ways to cozy up your space and begin the transition into fall is to tone down your color palette.
Does this mean you have to completely ditch your favorite hues for red, yellow and orange? Of course not!
You can still enjoy your favorite colors for fall; the trick is to tone them down a notch by choosing hues that better reflect the season.
For instance, lets say you love bright blues. You can make an easy compromise by choosing deeper, muted tones like the ones found in the Nassau Accent Chair in blue and beige.
Muted tones look great in the fall.
A color palette like this doesn’t necessarily scream fall at first glance, but it does feel cosier and toned down for the cooler months ahead.
You can continue embracing darker, deeper hues for fall by painting a new accent wall, swapping out your rug and playing with new artwork or accessories.
!nspire tip: A vase filled with a mixture of spray-painted branches would be a beautiful seasonal touch next to the Nassau Accent Chair.
Cozying Up For Fall Tip #2: Add Warmth With Texture
While summer showcased clean lines and streamlined décor, fall is about adding texture to !nspire warmth.
You can do this in a number of ways:
Swapping accent pillows and throws:
Swapping your accent pillows (or recovering them) with softer, thicker textures is a simple way to add warmth to your space.
The same can be said for throws that can be easily tossed over your favorite furniture for a dash of extra cosiness.
Incorporating new drapes and rugs:
Summer drapes are light and transparent; replacing them with a thicker, embroidered style instantly creates a warmer vibe for fall.
When it comes to rugs, flat, streamlined styles can be swapped with shaggy textures and thicker under padding for a luxurious feel.
Trying new accent pieces:
If you’re thinking about trying a new textured accent piece to !nspire warmth this fall, the Hampton Single Storage Bench in beige is your best bet.
Looking for a new fall accent piece? You’ve found it.
Its button tufting and antique studded details are unique and stylish, while its spacious storage is handy for stashing old summer décor as you prepare for the season ahead.
This special piece works beautifully in any family room and feels just as comfortable as it looks. It’s a great spot to gather with your family and drink hot cider as the temperature drops.
Cozying Up For Fall Tip #3: Play With Champagne Accents
While working to design !nspiring fall pieces, we couldn’t help but notice the amount of champagne-colored accents popping up. We just had to follow suit by creating something we knew our customers and clients would love.
Cue: the Athens Cabinet in champagne.
Did someone say champagne? We’re loving this tone for fall!
This intricate and stylish accent piece lends beautifully to fall décor with its warm champagne tone that reminds us of a cozy fall evening.
It also provides easy storage should you need an extra place to stow magazines, TV remotes or knick-knacks that create clutter in the family room.
We like to think of champagne as the new neutral of 2015; it blends into almost any color scheme and looks great intertwined with different accent pieces to make a statement.
Paired with gorgeous wooden pieces like the Rinca Accent Table or the Durango Accent Chair in brown, you’ll create a cozy atmosphere your family and guests will love this fall.
