Fall Transitions: Warming Up Your Walls

There is something magical about the first hints of fall. The air feels a little crisper, the light gets warmer, and you might start reaching for an extra layer in the evening. This seasonal shift is the perfect time to refresh your home. The best part is you do not have to start from scratch. By making a few thoughtful changes, you can keep the energy of your summer style while introducing the comfort and warmth of fall.

Start with Color
Summer often leans into airy blues, crisp whites, and bright pops of color. For fall, think about adding richer, earthier tones that still play well with what you already have. Swap a pale throw pillow for one in warm rust or golden ochre. Add a textured blanket to the end of your bed in a deep olive or burgundy. My Blush Wildflower Arch art blends beautifully with soft pinks, warm terracottas, and rich wine tones, making it a seamless bridge between seasons.

Switch Up Your Vignettes
This is one of my favorite ways to shift a room’s mood. On a console table that may have held a vase of summer blooms, switch to a ceramic bowl filled with seasonal greenery or branches. If you have framed art, try layering in a piece with more warmth in its palette. The Golden Bloom Arch Wall Art is a perfect example. Its golden yellows and leafy greens add an instant autumn feel without being heavy.

Bring in Layers and Texture
Fall invites a tactile approach. Add a woven basket next to your sofa to hold extra blankets. Layer rugs for a cozier feel underfoot. Even switching a glass vase for a matte ceramic one can create a more grounded look. Small texture changes go a long way in making a space feel seasonally fresh.

Pro Tip: Use Your Art as a Guide
One of the easiest ways to choose your fall accents is to look at the colors already in your favorite art pieces. If your artwork has both light and deep tones, pull out one or two of the richer colors for pillows, candles, or table linens. This creates a cohesive look that feels intentional and curated.

Keep What You Love
Fall refreshes are about adding, not subtracting. Keep the pieces that make you happy year-round and simply layer in the seasonal touches. This approach makes your home feel ever-evolving without becoming a constant project.
