From Summer to Sweater Weather: Transitioning Your Décor

As the warmer months slowly fade and autumn approaches, it’s time to start thinking about how you can bring the fall aesthetic into your home. Cozy textures, warm colours, and autumn scents are small touches that help reflect the essence of the season. Here are four simple ways to transition your décor.

• Swap on Richer Fabrics & Textures

  Fabrics like cotton, linen, and silk are great for the warmer months. But autumn is the time to transition to richer textures like wool, knits, and velvet. Drape knitted blankets over sofas or armchairs, or add velvet pillows to your living room. It’s a simple way to create a great seasonal atmosphere, and the blankets will come in handy when the weather cools down.

• Incorporate Seasonal Scents

  Incorporating certain scents can be the perfect touch this fall season. Choose scents like pumpkin, apple, cinnamon, clove, vanilla, and woodsy notes like cedarwood for a warm and inviting atmosphere. Since it’s harvest season, fresh baked goods are the perfect way to add an additional sensory layer to your home.

• Embrace Candlelight

  As the days become shorter and shorter, it can become challenging to use natural light to brighten your home. Candles — into the evening and even during the day — help add warm lighting that contributes to that cozy aesthetic. The autumn scents, those are just a bonus.

• Bring the Outdoors In

  Bring fall colours into your home: auburn, burnt orange, burgundy on bedding, table linens, towels, and rugs. Incorporate decorative items like pumpkins (they aren’t just for your doorstep), pinecones, harvest wreaths, and more. Wall art that features these same colours and themes can also add another dimension to your seasonal décor.
