It’s easy to make your home warm and inviting for fall—and it doesn’t cost much either. As we head into a season of cooler temperatures and earlier evenings, incorporate these six trending interior design ideas to keep your home cozy and festive all season long.

6 Easy Ways to Make Your Home Cozy

1. Bring in layers. From chunky knit blankets to velvet throw pillows, these cozy additions will make your home warm and inviting. Plus, they’re perfect to keep you comfortable on cooler evenings.

2. Incorporate textures and patterns. Embrace heavy textures like sherpa fleece, flannel, and faux fur, as well as rich patterns like stripes and plaids. Changing out even a few items in any room of your house will make it more seasonal.

3. Create a reading nook. Pull a comfortable chair into a corner, bring in a lamp, add a small table for a candle and beverage, and you’ve got a designated reading space. There’s nothing cozier than curling up with a good book.

4. Opt for candlelight. There’s something soothing about the glow of candlelight. Choose scented candles in apple, pumpkin, and cinnamon to reflect the smells of autumn.

5. Add rust and copper tones. Orange and red tones will add warmth to your living space. Bring in simple accessories like a metal vase, tea kettle, and candlestick holders, or select burgundy and rust-colored rugs and table linens.

6. Use seasonal food and foliage as décor. Display pumpkins, squash, and apples in your kitchen, or fill vases with tall branches of autumn leaves. Mums make a nice colorful addition as well.

These six suggestions align perfectly with this year’s fall home décor trends, which are all about layering in warm, rich colors, and seasonal accents in a variety of textures. They are simple ways to add a touch of coziness to your home without completely changing your design style or color scheme. And the best part is they’re inexpensive and use many items you may already own.
