5 Tips For Styling Your Home This Fall Into A Cozy, Welcoming Space That Will Turn You Into A Homebody
We all know that the holiday season really delivers on the magic, but fall is a magical time as well. Fall is all about creating a cozy space that will turn you into a homebody if you’re not already one, like me.
Any time I decorate for a particular season or time of year, it makes me excited to live in my house all over again.
So, here are 5 tips for styling your home into a welcoming, wonderful place you’re sure to fall in love with.
Break Out The Pillows And Throw Blankets
Is there anything cozier than pillows and throw blankets? I don’t think so! My favorite way to use them in my home for fall is to pick fabrics that evoke the season, like velvets, chunky knits, and faux furs.
You can also go for specific colors like mahogany, camel, burgundy, and burnt orange. Deep purples and browns also evoke fall and aren’t so overdone.
I really enjoy redoing my bed to fit more of a fall vibe, and I also love using tablecloths and table linens too.
Accent With Candles
Nothing says fall like candles! They’re the easiest way to bring the mood right into your home, especially with all of the amazing autumnal scents candles come in.

Aside from picking candles that literally smell like fall, try using festive candle holders, too, or mix in candles that represent the fall palette: reds, oranges, golds, and even black.
I also like to buy long, tapered candles and light them in my dining room while having dinner for something different.
Incorporate Brass And Copper
Adding in brass and copper also gives a nice textural nod to the season. You can get candlesticks, mugs, plates, bowls, pots, pans, picture frames, and vases to mix in with your existing home decor.
For example, grab a copper pail and add fresh-cut flowers, or fill a brass bowl with a bunch of apples.
I have special copper pans I like to cook dinner in for the ultimate fall vibe, as well as copper measuring cups I use to make all my fall baked goods, like pumpkin bread.
Don’t Ignore Your Porch
Don’t overlook your porch when it comes to styling your home for fall. Grab two planters and fill them with either dried hydrangeas or mums to keep it simple, and then add some pumpkins around the base. If you want to get more sophisticated, you can make an arrangement with ornamental grasses and kale.
You can also pick up a seasonal wreath to hang on your front door too! If you have stairs leading up to your front door, try placing pumpkins and flowers on every step for more intrigue and literal porch appeal.
Put Together A Fall Bar Cart For Your Favorite Adult Beverages
Here’s a fun way to add a little more excitement to your next night in: a fall bar cart! Consider things like a copper ice bucket or copper cocktail shaker, some mini pumpkins, wood coasters, fall-themed cocktail stirrers, and Moscow mule cups to really make your bar cart reflective of fall.
