 It is so hard to believe that fall is almost upon us and those summer days of warm, sunny weather have given way to some cooler days and evenings. While we can still get outside to do fall gardening, go for walks or bike rides and take advantage of the limited warm days on a patio, I am sure you are giving some thought to fall  décor updates in the spaces of your homes.

During the hot days of summer,  décor is typically more spare to make rooms feel cooler and more spacious, but as the weather cools down we want to incorporate  décor that make rooms warm and comfortable as we hibernate inside. For effortless and simple fall updates consider the following.

Textures

Adding layers of texture to your rooms brings visual and tactile warmth, depth and comfort. While you may add in a woollen throw or two, be sure to include some wooden items as well such as a coffee table tray or bowl filled with acorns. Of course swapping out throw pillows is quick and easy and provides an instant update. Opt for pillows in rich fabrics such as velvet and brocade or a pattern with lots of visual texture such as plaid, jacquard or faux fur.

Embellishments such as beading, jewels or trims are another way to add more texture and enhance to the luxe look and feel. I love incorporating ‘creative tension’ in my spaces so in addition to rich fabrics I mix in one or two pillows in jute or linen for a relaxed and informal vibe.

Bedrooms are the perfect place to play with textures. Layer blankets of different textures and patterns and top them with abed scarf or perhaps a sheepskin rug for a warm cozy look. Of course pillows in varying shapes, sizes and fabrics will finish the look and result in a bedroom you will never want to leave!
