While fall is not all that different from summer time in
Florida, it does mean some cooler weather and preparation for the holiday
season. Although there is not much of a seasonal change, you can still bring
fall into your home through your décor.
Decorating your home for fall doesn’t have to involve a
complete makeover. By adding complimenting accents, you can enjoy a new home
décor look before the holidays.
Use Fall’s Bounty
Apples, cranberries, pears,
and pumpkins are all fall favorites and you can use them throughout your home.
Place some faux gourds on your mantle or use cranberries to surround a pillar
candle inside a hurricane vase. Apples are
a great touch in a basket or decorative bowl in the kitchen. White faux
pumpkins are growing in popularity, as are colorful faux pumpkins. Choose
colorful pumpkins that fit in with your current home décor.
Accent Your Home with Fall Scents
Cloves, spice, and
cinnamon are all common autumn scents. Scents can be added through candles,
essential oils, a cinnamon broom, or by making your own potpourri. You can also
mix together ingredients like apples, oranges, cinnamon, and anise and simmer
them on your stovetop to fill your home with a great aroma.
Fall Foliage
While you won’t be able to go outdoors to find brightly
colored leaves in Florida, you can find faux foliage at your nearest craft store. Place
pinecones in a decorative bowl in the living room. Find faux berry branches and
place them in vases throughout your home. As Florida is not known for its fall
foliage, use it sparingly when decorating during this time of year.
Accessorize
Swap out bright, summery home accessories, like throw
pillows, for warm earthy tones, like red, orange, brown and gold. A new throw
blanket is also a great way to add a touch of fall to the living room or your
bedroom.
Cozy Up Outside
A fire pit is a great way to enjoy fall in Florida. It’s
also a great time to cozy up on your patio furniture and read a book or dine
outdoors. Add some brown, orange or gold throw pillows, use a new throw blanket
for when the weather cools at night and add some lanterns for more lighting.
There are many ways you can enjoy fall in Florida and bring
just a touch of the north down south.
