Harvest Season is here. A Seasonal refresh for your home is a welcoming ritual that will add a few changes inside that are aesthetically pleasing and create a synergy between indoors and out.

When the seasons change outside, it’s the perfect reason to change our decor inside. This brings new energy into your home and keeps it from feeling stagnant. The clever deployment of pillows, throws, window treatments, and rugs is the simplest way of revising a home – especially if you are decorating a home on a budget

More of my go-to Resources. This is a shopping post, ‘cause I love shopping!

SEASONAL ELEMENTS: Take a look at these great decorative items and fresh wreaths that fill your home with an autumn aroma, to faux wreaths that can be used again and again. I am always sourcing unique decor and Art for my home from ETSY. and have found that Etsy is a great go-to resource and an opportunity to support real people, artists, and craftsmen.    Some of these items make great housewarming gifts too.

Add seasonal elements to your outdoor spaces that show your love of the season.

Fall Refresh- Add mums and seasonal flowers, pumpkins, and gourds to welcome autumn and the approaching holidays. image via Southern Living. Add mums to galvanized buckets and distressed clay pots for a finished look. Save your money and use these hand-painted gourds, they look real, but they are artificial.

Fall Decor via Pottery Barn. I love the blanket, soft chenille pillow and candles for a warm seasonal shift.

Incorporate the colors of the season into your living room and indoor spaces.

  • ADD CHUCKY BLANKETS AND THROWS WITH NEW PILLOW COVERS for the sofa and chairs. As a base, consider colors that fit within a fall color palette: rusty reds, burnt oranges, moody greens, and golden yellows. Once you’ve done that it’s time to look elsewhere. Do you need to stock up on firewood? Try placing it in a leather basket so it’s easy to carry and looks pretty chic next to the fireplace.

  • THIS IS THE PERFECT COZY BLANKET. Layer in throws over the back of your sofa to add texture and color. A chunky handmade chenille blanket will look great on your sofa or accent chair or even placed outside on your porch seating.

  • VISIT MY ETSY shop and browse a few more selections.

  • CHANGE OUT YOUR PILLOWS with seasonal colors for a pop of color and mood. New Colorful pillows and pillow covers are a great and affordable way to update, and create a new feeling, in your home. 

Bring the outdoors inside.

  • ADD NATURAL DISPLAYS TO YOUR ROOMS. I love to add in natural elements by bringing the outdoors inside and incorporating Dried Grasses, Fall swags, and wreaths along with fresh eucalyptus, olive, and magnolia.

    Try dried botanicals, and add warmth to your tabletop decor and surrounding areas. ( see below)

  • Layer in the scents of seasonal items, like pumpkin spice, and a fire in the fireplace, as added seasonal delights for the senses.

  • Surround these pieces with color on your table with a beautiful linen table runner, like this and this , topped with greenery and candles.

  • Nothing creates a cozy space like a fire in the fireplace or the glow of candles in the evenings.

  • Dried + Preserved Grasses and florals. Check out this Flower shop of foraged and faux organic looks that bring the beauty of the outdoors into our homes. From the silvery blue of eucalyptus to the harvest golds of grasses and leaves. Here are some favorite colors of the season

  • Layer in seasonal items into your outdoor areas, like your patio that you will also view from inside, create a display like the one shown above for your coffee table, or dining table, and don’t forget the firepit! I found this beautiful tabletop display you may like.

  • In addition to the seasonal fall wreath, mums and astors, add a display to your outdoor coffee table or dining. You can create something similar to what is shown above using these copper troughs by Terrain, or this one on Etsy. add a blanket or two around the seating areas for the cooler nights outside and add some fall decor to your entry, I love this bronze pheasant to greet you at your front door or this one for your mantel.

 

This Himalayan Bark candle in Tobacco is the perfect scent to welcome fall. ( also love grapefruit) I purchase a new one every year. It is a welcoming scent in my home. It is also a great hostess gift.

This handmade thanksgiving Wreath is a classy, modern display of fall/winter colors for your front door. Take a cue from the colors shown here and use the wreath as a peek into what the seasonal color palette will be inside. Personalize this with your choice of berries and a variety of bow colors. I bought this one, just as you see it.

Consider the classic magnolia wreath. 20" Fresh Magnolia Wreath, suitable from early fall right through Christmas. A classic look for your front door, mantel, and tabletop.
