Home Refresh Tips for the Fall!

Get your home autumn-ready with simple, budget-friendly tips from T.O.B Design Firm x Fischer Homes to transition from summer to cozy fall vibes!

As the crisp fall air replaces the summer heat, it’s the perfect time to transition your home from beach vibes to cozy autumn comfort. Ready to snuggle up by the fireplace? Here are some simple and budget-friendly tips to give your home a fresh, welcoming look for the season.

Affordable Updates for a Seasonal Glow-Up

You don’t need to break the bank to achieve a seasonal home makeover. Start by swapping out small items like pillows and throws to introduce warmer earth tones and heavier fabrics such as velvet and chenille. These quick changes instantly infuse your space with the cozy, inviting atmosphere that autumn is known for.

Another simple yet effective update? Change your candle scents to something more seasonal—think pumpkin spice, cran-apple, or warm vanilla. The right fragrance can set the mood for your entire home, making it feel like a fall haven.

Easy DIY Decor: Art and Frames

Looking to add some seasonal flair to your walls? Printable art in upcycled or inexpensive frames is a fantastic way to bring in richer, moodier hues without the high cost of traditional wall art. Consider small, charming pieces that can be propped up on bookshelves or console tables. Pair these with dried florals or fall-toned coffee table books and decor for an easy, stylish update. The best part? You can easily swap out these pieces as the seasons change, keeping your space fresh all year long.

Making a Bold Statement with Wallpaper

For those willing to make a more significant investment, wallpaper is a game-changer. Forget the outdated floral patterns from your grandmother’s house—today’s wallpaper options are all about making a bold, modern statement. Choose a key accent wall and a fun, textured design to create a dramatic transformation. Your holiday guests will be in awe!

Rugs: The Underrated Hero of Home Decor

If wallpaper feels too permanent, consider updating your area rugs. A new, cozy 8x10 rug can completely change the feel of your space, making it the perfect spot for watching Sunday football or hosting holiday gatherings. Even smaller updates, like a new entryway rug or kitchen runner, can help transition your home into the fall season with ease.

Avoiding Common Decorating Pitfalls

While it’s exciting to refresh your home, be cautious with trends, especially when it comes to big investment pieces. Keep the more unique and trendy items to smaller, less permanent decor elements. This way, you won’t find yourself ripping out a backsplash in a year when the trend has passed.

Stay Focused for a Consistent Look

When updating your home, it’s essential to stay focused on each space. Instead of making small changes in multiple rooms, concentrate on completing one area fully before moving on to the next. This approach ensures a cohesive and polished look, leaving you feeling accomplished and motivated to tackle the next project.

We can’t wait to see how your home transitions for the season! With these tips, you’ll create a warm, inviting space ready to welcome autumn’s beauty.
