As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, it’s the perfect time to give your home a seasonal refresh. Transitioning from summer to fall doesn’t have to mean a complete makeover – it’s about adding warmth, texture, and cozy details that make your home feel inviting for the season ahead. Here are five simple tips to transition your home from summer to fall.
1. Layer in Cozy Textiles
Swap out lightweight summer throws and linens for plush blankets, chunky knit throws, and flannel or velvet pillows. Adding layers instantly creates a sense of warmth and comfort. Try mixing textures; like a faux fur pillow paired with a knitted throw for a stylish yet cozy look.
2. Embrace Warm, Earthy Tones
Summer is all about bright whites and airy blues, but fall is the time for rich, earthy hues. Think terracotta, burnt orange, deep green, and golden neutrals. You don’t need to repaint, simply bring in accessories like rugs, vases, or candles in these seasonal shades to shift the mood of a room.
3. Add Seasonal Greenery & Natural Elements
Swap fresh summer blooms for fall foliage. Think Oakleaf Hydranegas or dried florals in warm tones. Incorporating natural textures like wood, rattan, or woven baskets can also ground your space and give it that cozy, autumn feel.
4. Refresh Your Entryway
Your entry sets the tone for your home. As summer sandals make way for boots, add a textured doormat, a cozy throw blanket on a bench, and perhaps a small basket for scarves. A vase of seasonal stems or a pumpkin or two adds a festive touch without going overboard.
5. Set the Mood with Lighting & Scent
As daylight fades earlier, lighting becomes key. Swap bright, cool-toned bulbs for warmer ones, add a few candles, and use lamps for a softer glow. Pair the ambiance with fall-inspired scents. Think spice, leather, wood, and vanilla to create a sensory shift that feels undeniably autumn.
Transitioning your home from summer to fall doesn’t require a big budget or a lot of effort. With just a few intentional swaps, you can create a space that feels warm, welcoming, and ready for cozy nights in. Ready to bring your fall vision to life?
