As I'm sure you have seen all over social media lately, even though it is still August, fall is right around the corner. As the weather starts getting cooler and the leaves start changing colors, it's the perfect time to transform your home into a cozy haven that reflects the beauty of the season. The perfect place to start is by embracing the rich warm colors that define fall. Think deep oranges, rustic reds, earthy browns, and golden yellows. Incorporate these hues through throw pillows, blankets, and area rugs to instantly create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Don't be afraid to mix and match colors patterns and textures- plaid, houndstooth, and chunky knits can add depth and interest to your decor.

It's also a great idea to bring the outdoors in by decorating with natural elements. Pumpkins, gourds, and dried cornstalks are classic fall staples that can be used in a variety of ways. Arrange them on your mantle, as a centerpiece on your dining table, or on your front porch to welcome guests. Additionally, consider incorporating branches, acorns, and pinecones into your decor.

Finally, don't forget to set the mood with lighting and scents. As the days grow shorter create a cozy ambiance with soft warm lighting. String lights, lanterns, and candles can all contribute to a snug and inviting environment. Choosing candles with fall inspired scents like cinnamon, apple, and pumpkin spice will fill your home with comforting aromas of the season. By layering these elements, you'll create a space that not only looks beautiful but also feels like a true autumn retreat.

I have big plans for my fall front porch this year, I got my inspiration from Macy Blackwell. I'll keep everyone updated on how that turns out. I also plan on making some DIY pumpkin pillows that are a Pottery Barn dupe from this tutorial on A Wonderful Thought. These DIY pillows are a fraction of the cost of the Pottery Barn ones and just as cute!
