3 Easy Ways to Transition Your Space for Autumn

Can you believe that autumn is already at our doorstep? Soon the temperatures will drop (hallelujah!) and it will be the time for pumpkins, cozy nights, and apple pie.

These final days of summer are the perfect time to start planning for how you want to style your space for the fall season. Check out these three quick and easy ways you can totally transform your space for autumn.

1. Swap your throw pillows for new ones that have warm, rich colors.

A quick and easy way to bring cozy, fall colors into your space is through throw pillows. When you’re shopping for pillows, look for warm, earthy colored fabrics. Finding pillows with other textures, like leather or faux fur, can also compliment an autumnal style.

Remove any bright and summery pillows from your space and replace them with your new cozy pillows — you’ll be surprised how much this one step will totally transform the style of your space. If you are having a hard time finding the perfect pillows, visit our showroom today! Our manufacturers have tons of fabrics and pillow sizes to choose from.

2. Use cozy throw blankets to accent chairs, sofas, and ottomans.

While you are out pillow shopping, be on the lookout for throw blankets that compliment your color palette. Accenting your upholstery with a couple of soft throw blankets adds texture and coziness to your space. Plus, they are an absolute necessity for chilly nights!

If you have leather furniture, blankets are particularly helpful for creating a sense of warmth and softness. As you wander through our showroom, you will notice a variety of throw blankets strategically placed on sofas and chairs — visit us today and see how this little trick adds coziness to any furniture setting.

3. Swap your current art and accessories for pieces that evoke autumnal subject matter and colors.

Look around your space and notice if you have any wall art or accessories with summery subject matter or colors. For example, you may have art depicting the ocean, or vases with bright floral patterns, which don’t lend themselves to an autumnal style. Pack these types of pieces away until spring and replace them with décor that depicts fall and winter subjects and colors.

When you are choosing pieces for your home, keep your fall color palette and your favorite seasonal subject matter in mind. Perhaps a wall canvas of an autumnal forest would be perfect for your space, or a decorative bowl that holds small pinecones and pumpkins. The options are endless!

If you find yourself overwhelmed with how to decorate your space, visit us today and speak with one of our designers. We will help you narrow down the best pieces for your home. Plus, we have tons of unique art and décor for your shopping pleasure.

We hope you find these tips helpful as you prepare your home for the fall season. Transitioning spaces between seasons should be fun and refreshing — not stressful.

If you have questions or need assistance redecorating your space, visit us today and we will happily connect you with one of our professional designers.

3 Big Mistakes People Make When Furnishing Their Homes … and How to Fix Them!

Have you ever invested in furniture or accessories and felt instant regret once you saw them in your space? Maybe you thought that piece of art would look great with your other decor, but you get it home and they clash. Or you order a chair you found online, but once it’s in your room you realize it’s too big or too small.

Don’t worry — we are here to help! Here are three common mistakes we see and how to prevent them:

1. Buying the wrong size rug for the space.

It may seem like a small detail, but the size of your rug has a huge impact on the look of your space. When shopping without the help of a designer, most people end up buying a rug that is far too small. For example, they may place a rug in their living room but the only piece of furniture that fits on it is the coffee table, leaving the rest of the furniture floating on the bare floor. A rug that is too small makes the space look awkward and uncoordinated.

Instead, you want to be sure rugs are large enough for the entire furniture group to be grounded on top of it. For more information on how to select the right rug for your space, check out 4 Tips for Buying Living Room Rugs!

2. Choosing pieces and styles that don’t work together.

We’ve all done it … that wall hanging looks great in the store, but you get it home and you wonder what you were thinking! Our designers have been in a lot of homes, and they’ve seen their share of confused design styles and jumbled spaces … but we are here to help!

Many people approach shopping for their home without a plan or vision. They buy random pieces in a store, but they get home and things don’t look right. To avoid this mistake, we recommend deciding on a design style and color palette that you can use as a guide when shopping. Keeping your specific style in mind will help you narrow down what pieces, colors, and textures make the most sense for your space.

If you have a hard time defining your vision for your home, we recommend working with one of our highly skilled designers. We are happy to create a plan that fits exactly what you have in mind.

3. Forgetting to consider how the room needs to function and flow spatially.

Furnishing a space can involve some tricky math and a lot of planning. Certain layouts for furniture and décor will make more sense than others depending on the dimensions and purpose of your room. We’ve seen a lot of homes that don’t have clear traffic patterns, lack organization, and layouts that don’t make the most of the space.

Before buying new furnishings, consider how you need the space to function. Where do you need to leave room for people to walk? How large should your sofa be in relation to the space it’s in? You want the room to feel organized — not crowded or impractical.

Before you get your tape measure out and start getting overwhelmed with the layout of your space, give us a call and we will connect you with one of our designers. We take the guesswork out of furnishing your home.

We hope this article helps you to avoid some of the common mistakes people make in their homes. If you need assistance with furnishing your space, or if you need help fixing one of the problems above, give us a call or visit our showroom today!
