Fall is a beautiful time of the year with endless colors from the changing leaves and harvest decorations adorning neighborhood doorsteps. Bring the fall colors to your home with a number of simple décor additions and changes for the season. Drapes, wallpaper: Add elegant bronze hues to your home with new drapes and wallpaper to create a calming atmosphere that will match the crisp outdoor look. Combine the bronze hues with a burst of orange, copper and wine colors to echo the color of fall leaves. Furniture: Create a bold fall look with rich brown furniture and pumpkin-orange upholstery. You can also do this with a light brown bookcase and fireplace. Accessories: Dress up your room by adding fall foliage, acorns and mini pumpkins to bookshelves, mantles and coffee tables. Use cornhusks to accent candle holders. Put cinnamon sticks in mason jars and place them around the house for a splash of color and refreshing fall smell. Add fall flowers like alstromeria and sunflowers to spruce up your mantle and add shade of yellow and pink to your home. Whether you’re hosting a family party or you enjoy dressing up your home for the season, these décor additions will bring the beautiful fall colors and feel to your home.
