4 Autumn Decor Trends for Your Devonleigh Home
We’ve finally had to give up and admit that summer is officially over. It’s time for pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and chimney smoke filling the air. Leaves are changing to beautiful hues of yellow, orange, red. Blankets are being thrown over couches, and slippers are comforting your feet and toes. We have some great tips on how you can embrace the cozy season of autumn by changing up your home decor.
Bring the Outdoors, Indoors
Do you have a gallery wall welcoming guests to your home? Or maybe you have a chalkboard that keeps the kids organized? Change up your the photos to display words and images associated with fall. Decorate or frame your chalkboard with some beautiful red, orange and yellow leaves that have fallen from the trees.
How to frame pressed leaves: Luckily there are no special skills or tools required to press leaves. First you need to go on a scavenger hunt for some frame worthy leaves. Simply place leaves between pages of an old phonebook and leave them for a couple of days with something heavy on top of the book. From there, find a frame that offers a tight fit between the glass and backing to keep the leaves secure and in place. You can always add small strips of adhesive to keep them in place as well. Voila, perfectly pressed leaves to showcase around your home.
You can also try adding a natural centerpiece to your kitchen or dining room table. A simple and tall glass vase with a few pieces of birch branches in it can bring your table from autumn to winter.
Cozy Knits
Purchase or knit your own cozy blanket. There is nothing more satisfying than curling up on the couch after a long day under the warmth of a your favourite blanket. Drape or pile your coziest knit throw over chairs or couches to make a warm and inviting atmosphere for you and your guests.
Warm and Fuzzy
Animal fur is a huge decor trend right now, whether it’s a cowhide rug or faux fur pillows. There is no better way to get ready for winter by decorating your home with some warm and fuzzy animal inspired blankets, pillows or rugs. In both high fashion and home decor, the fur trend is here to stay. If you want to invest in a soft grey or white blanket or throw, you’re not limited to showing it off in autumn, but also during the colder winter months. When choosing a rug opt for darker hues such as browns or blacks. Don’t worry about it making your space feel smaller as it simply acts as an anchor to the room and creates a stunning focal point.
Don’t Forget Bedding
Autumn means shorter days and long, chilly nights. Layer up your bed by adding soft flannel, timeless quilts, or cozy throws. Of course you can always turn up the heat but creating an oasis of nightly warmth in a chilly home is all you need.
