Get ready for cozy fall vibes with tips on how to transform your home into a warm, inviting cottage this season. 🍂🏡🍁
Autumn invites everyone to relax and enjoy the cooler weather. While you might pick apples and carve pumpkins over the coming weeks, it’s easy to feel left out of the fun if your home doesn’t celebrate the season with you. Learn how to transform your home into a cozy fall cottage this year to solve that problem. You’ll feel immersed in the season every moment of the day without needing an expensive redecorating budget.
1. Use Cozy Throw Blankets
The first day of fall is Sept. 22, but you may need a light throw blanket before then. The average temperature in September is 67.75 degrees Fahrenheit in the U.S., but things may get even cooler during autumn evenings.
Give yourself the gift of cozy throw blankets this fall. They double as decor if they incorporate autumn colors like copper, maroon and dark brown. Search local thrift stores for your next favorite blanket. You could also crochet or knit one yourself with thick yarn to create a chunky texture and the exact size you want.
2. Find Themed Kitchen Towels
Transform your home into a cozy fall cottage with themed towels in your kitchen. Hang a few from your oven or cabinet handles to add a touch of autumn magic to your home. Yard sales and donation stores may have these readily available. If you feel inspired to tackle a seasonal craft, you could embroider fall phrases onto your existing kitchen towels or iron autumn motifs onto the fabric.
3. Add Autumn Plants
Experts found that indoor plants can reduce stress by giving you more exposure to nature. Take advantage of the plants blooming this fall to improve your mental health and decorate your home. You could grow mums, dahlias or roses on your window sills. Anyone wanting to personalize their indoor garden could also paint or make flower pots with an at-home pottery kit.
4. Hang Heavier Curtains
Interior decorating utilizes texture to create cozy fall cottages. A room with bare hardwood floors doesn’t feel as welcoming as a space decorated with plush rugs and velvet couches. Transform your house by recreating that effect this fall. You could hang velvet curtains or sun-blocking panels to retain your home’s heat and add the necessary texture to create an autumn vibe.
5. Swap Your Dishware
Seasonal dishware automatically gets everyone in the mood for a new time of year. Find a dinnerware set at a thrift store or yard sale. People often get rid of entire sets to save space, so you might find more than enough dishes to stock your cabinets and celebrate fall with every meal.
If you currently use white porcelain dishes, consider painting them. You could add autumn motifs like fall leaves, pumpkins or mushrooms. Paint whatever images come to mind, coat them in a clear sealant and bake them at a low heat in your oven to lock your art into place. Your chosen sealant packaging will have specific directions for sealing the product. The next time you serve pumpkin sage gnocchi to your loved ones, it could be on themed dishware you made.
6. Create Pillow Covers
The decorative pillows on your furniture pull your interior decorating theme together. Find small ones with autumn themes at thrift stores for a quick design solution that immediately transforms your home. Follow a YouTube video to crochet or embroider a fall-themed pillowcase. No matter which option you choose, you’ll feel immersed in comfort as soon as your pillows are ready for placement.
7. Embrace Autumn Scents
The right autumnal scent is the perfect final touch to make your home a fall oasis. Go candle shopping and look for scents like cinnamon, pumpkin, apple and ginger.
If you want to use natural ingredients, try making a fall simmer pot. Add an apple, an orange, a lemon, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg and ginger to a pot with water and bring to a light boil. Then, reduce the heat and leave the pot on the stove for as long as you like. Your whole home will smell like a cozy autumn day.
Live in a Cozy Fall Cottage This Autumn
You don’t have to leave your house to celebrate the season. Transform your home into a cozy fall cottage with simple projects like creating blankets, growing plants or painting dishware. Whether you make your interior design upgrades or find them at thrift stores, you’ll turn your house into an autumn getaway without an extensive decorating budget.
