There is a crispness in the air that cannot be denied. Summer flowers are starting to fade, and leaves are in reds and golds and tumbling to the ground. We have some lovely autumn décor tips that can make your home look so beautiful. If you are thinking of selling your home this fall, try these ideas to create beauty, warmth, and coziness.
Deep hues
Don’t be afraid to incorporate some dark hues that you see in nature. Chocolate browns, rusts, terra cotta or saturated shades of blues and greens are really in style for your home this year. You want to bring outdoor colours into your home décor. Add dark colours with caution, you don’t want your rooms to appear too gloomy. Use neutral paint throughout and add splashes of darker colours so your rooms will pop with colour.
Matte not shiny
Shiny metals in your home are out and matte is in! If you are thinking of remodelling add some matte touches to your kitchen hardware, faucets, and ceiling fans. Pewter, burnished bronze and even black matte finishes will make your home more modern. You can choose some matte metal in your picture frames, mirrors or even chandeliers.
Chunky materials
Time to put away the light, airy summery materials that have been in your home. Replace them with chunky knit throws, and curtains and cushions in thicker materials. You want to add these accents to your space and make it seem comfortable and welcoming. If you have a beautiful hand-knit or crocheted blanket in a neutral colour, now is the time to accent your bedroom or living room with this decorative touch. Add some puffy duvets to your beds with lots of pillows and designer cushions. You want to create warmth in your rooms.
Now for some curb appeal!
Get your porch ready with some pumpkins, gourds, and natural fall foliage items. Flower urns can contain dried pussy willows and bright red berries. Potted mums and ornamental kale can add some colour to the front of your home as well.
Focus on your front door! Do you need to repaint it a different colour? Are there some touch-ups you need to do? Now is a good time to get these items done before you sell. If you have room for seating on your porch, add a wooden bench or darker wicker chairs with some outdoor cushions in fall colours to elevate the look of your porch. Remember your eye always comes to the front door so make sure it is a showpiece!
Lighting
It is getting darker outside now. Remember to have beautiful lighting fixtures to guide buyers to your door. Not only is lighting for safety purposes it can also make a statement. Lighting can draw your eye to what you want to emphasize about your home. Your front porch can look picturesque at night with the right lighting.
