As you start getting ready for the colder months ahead, you may find yourself going through a nesting phase—or rearranging and redecorating so your home is warm, inviting, and a true place of refuge. Before you do, heed our advice: there is no need to change your entire space. Instead, focus on just the five areas below and use them as a way to add warm, seasonal colors to your home decor. While they may seem like small, unnoticed changes, we guarantee each will have a meaningful impact.
Here’s how you can change a room with a pop of color:
Area Rugs
Changing an area rug is an easy way to alter the look and feel of a space completely. To create a more homely room, try rolling out a larger rug in a soft, natural fiber like jute. While this does not introduce the most vibrant color, the rustic creams and tans do bring a sense of warmth and comfortability to a room. Their textures also add a point of interest, though you could go even bolder with carefully woven herringbone patterns or chevron.
Throw Pillows and Blankets
Though we suggest a more neutral area rug, we say to go all out when it comes to throw pillows and blankets. Opt for pillow covers in rich autumnal colors like cranberry red, pumpkin orange, or golden yellow. Then, choose one of those colors to highlight even more with thick knit blankets and fringed throws. Not only will this catch the attention of your guests, but it will also help them feel more welcome and at home.
Wall Hangings
While you could undoubtedly repaint to create an accent wall, there is no need! Instead, make your statement through colorful wall hangings. These are more temporary, more customizable, and often more affordable. Select decor that: brings in those warm fall colors, introduces seasonal patterns like black and white gingham or incorporates charming fall greetings. Whichever you choose, each will add new color and personality to any given room.
Tabletop Decor
Incorporate other fall colors through seasonal tabletop decor. Stage a high console table with artificial pumpkins in terracotta orange and marigold yellow. Set punny wooden signage with crisp black lettering on any side table. Leave burnt orange candles out and open for the look and spiced scents of the season. There are countless decorative touches you can use to introduce new colors to your space easily.
Hardware
Try swapping out some of the knobs, pulls, and bars on the cabinets throughout your home. Changing the color or finish of hardware is one creative way to add an extra touch of personalization and character. To keep with the fall feel, choose warmer colors like antique copper or softer textures like leather pulls.
As you can see, it doesn’t take painting a room or buying new furniture to add a pop of color to your space. These tips are especially helpful when you’re moving from season to season. When you make simple swaps, you can transform your space and make it feel brand new.
