Fall is upon us. One of my most fav times of the year. Though you wouldn't know it from standing outside the last few days, colder weather is just around the corner. I thought I would share some tips on enhancing that delicious, crisp, cool, fall weather feeling, indoors.
1. When tidying up the landscape and leaves around the house, don't just throw away all the coloured leaves, pine cones, twigs and stones. Add them to a wonderful vase or dish in your front hallway to welcome guests.
3. Choose full draperies and rich pillows, in deep earth tones like moss green, birch brown or red maple, to add warm layers to your rooms.
4. Make the most of the warm sun as our daylight gets shorter. Add accessories with a reflective quality, like glistening chrome or nickel, polished silver or bronze, and crystal or glass.
5. Bring the beautiful harvest colours from the yard indoors by placing a mirror adjacent to a window.
6. Proper lighting can also add warm layering to a room. Ambient lighting (like pot lights) allows you to move through the space easily. Task lighting (like table lamps) is essential in living, family and bedrooms. Throw a dark shade on, versus a bright white shade, and instinct drama is achieved.
Have fun decorating your place for fall. Before you know it, the winter season will be here.
